Telecoms operators Vodacom and Orange have announced a rural infrastructure partnership in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), pledging to jointly construct up to 2,000 new solar-powered basestations over the next six years.
With limited land resources and growing electricity demands, lithium iron battery storage containers have emerged as a game-changer. These systems combine high energy density, thermal stability, and modular design - perfect for both urban installations and remote renewable projects.
For this reason, this paper proposes a two-stage clustering algorithm based on SOM + Kmeans, combined with the iterative correction of silhouette coefficients, which can adaptively cluster the daily load curve of BTS services without preset parameters.
A new report from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory provides an overview of battery energy storage systems from a land use perspective and describes the implications for zoning and project permitting.
The Zarafshan BESS forms the first phase of a national battery storage program following Masdar's December 2023 agreement with Uzbekistan's Ministry of Energy and Ministry of Investments, Industry and Trade to develop up to 575 megawatts (MW) / 1. 15 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of BESS.
Recent estimates suggest the DRC's flagship energy storage project requires an investment of $120-$180 million, depending on technology choices and infrastructure upgrades. This initiative aims to stabilize the national grid while supporting renewable integration.
