President Ilham Aliyev has switched on one of Azerbaijan’s biggest battery storage projects as part of a larger program of utility-scale BESS development spearheaded by AzerEnergy.
The state-owned power producer was tasked with establishing large energy storage centers with a total capacity of 250 MW/500 MWh across two main substations – the 500 KV Absheron and 220 kV Agdash substations.
The Absheron BESS includes 50 battery containers and 13 inverter containers. Project building work included construction of a modern control building for the Absheron BESS, which is equipped with a SCADA monitoring system to monitor battery performance, and to track frequency and voltage.
