Raleigh Fitkin Memorial Hospital (RFM) in Eswatini takes a bold step into a sustainable future with a 1 MW solar hybrid system integrated with a 500 kW ATESS PCS500 battery inverter and a 1 MWh ATESS battery storage system.

ATESS proudly partnered with Oceana Group on an ambitious renewable energy initiative at the new Lucky Star Meat Cannery, located on South Africa's West Coast. Our advanced energy solutions at Lucky Star's cannery—one of the top five solar projects in Africa—have transformed the facility, enabling uninterrupted operations and shielding it from grid disruptions. This technical white paper highlights the detailed design, operation, and benefits of ATESS' state-of-the-art energy solutions implemented at the cannery, which not only enhances production continuity by minimizing grid dependency but also contributes to Oceana Group's sustainability and local economic goals.

Saudi Arabia has a huge annual consumption of fresh water, reaching 30 billion cubic meters per year, while the total amount of surface water produced each year is only about 2 billion cubic meters. The fresh water gap is increasing with population growth and rising living standards. In order to cope with the shortage of fresh water resources, Saudi Arabia has taken various measures to ensure the supply of fresh water, one of the main means of which is seawater desalination technology.

However, the process of seawater desalination consumes a significant amount of electricity. In some coastal desert areas suitable for building seawater desalination plants, the utility grid has not yet been connected to, and relying on fossil fuels for seawater desalination will result in high costs. This white paper explores how the ATESS energy storage technology empowers seawater desalination plants in a cost-effective and sustainable way.

In the evolving landscape of energy solutions, the integration of power grid with energy storage solutions and EV charging stations, collectively known as a Grid-Connected Solar Storage Charging System, is paramount. It allows for efficient energy management by storing electricity from the grid during off-peak times and using it when demand is high, thus optimizing energy costs and ensuring a stable power supply for EV charging without incorporating solar panels or other renewable energy sources. ATESS’ involvement in the Peterborough AEA project in the UK highlights a significant opportunity to deploy a Grid-Connected Solar Storage Charging System that not only addresses specific energy challenges but also advances environmental sustainability.
