Dominica Energy Storage Power Station System Powering
With 90% of Dominica"s electricity still generated from imported diesel in 2023, the Dominica Energy Storage Power Station System represents a critical step toward energy independence.
The article outlines development of an electric energy storage system for drilling based on electric-chemical generators. Description and generalization are given for the main objectives for this system when used on drilling rigs isolated within a single pad, whether these are fed from diesel gensets, gas piston power plants, or 6–10 kV HV lines.
This paper provides a comprehensive and critical review of academic literature on mobile energy storage for power system resilience enhancement. As mobile energy storage is often coupled with mobile emergency generators or electric buses, those technologies are also considered in the review.
The energy storage system developed for onshore drilling is among the world's first ones. As a foreign analog, only the project of the German rig manufacturer Bentec implemented in Oman can be highlighted. In 2017, the container-type 0.9 MW Bentec ESS with a storage capacity of 0.3 MW was put into trial operation on the KCA Deuteg T-94 rig.
The work to develop electric energy storage systems for drilling rigs has been underway worldwide for the last 5 years, however, mainly targeting isolated offshore rigs.
