German hybrid specialist DHYBRID will supply seven PV-diesel hybrid systems in remote Senegalese locations with sophisticated hybrid control and energy storage systems. The total output capacity is 2 MW, the storage capacity 2 MWh. The plants will enable Senegal to supply power to very isolated sites and to diversify its energy mix
DHYBRID has been selected by French EPC Company and main contractor Omexom – the energy brand of the VINCI Energies Group – for seven prestigious projects because of its scalable technology platform as well as its global track record in hybrid installations. The total project will generate enough power to cover the annual needs of 140,000 people and will avoid atmospheric CO² emissions amounting to 19,000 tons per year, equivalent to the emissions of a car driven 135 million km. The scheme will be part of a €26.8 million investment financed by German development bank KFW and Senelec, the national electricity company of Senegal, and will consist of the hybrid sites plus an additional 15 MW solar installation.
The project sites will be spread over four large regions: the Saloum Islands and the Thiès region, in the western part of the country, and the Tambakounda and Kolda regions in the east. DHYBRID will supply its proprietary Universal Power Platform – a modular and manufacturer-independent Energy Management System and SCADA solution that will manage, control and monitor the interaction between diesel generators, a PV inverter and energy storage system to minimize electricity costs and CO² emissions.
