Does Thailand need a battery energy storage system?

Thailand may lack the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) necessary to navigate supply and demand challenges. The 2024 PDP draft included 10,000 MW of BESS, but this may see the country struggle to fulfil carbon neutrality and Net Zero commitments over the coming decades.

Why is energy storage important in Thailand?

Sungrow noted that the Thai government has accepted that energy storage is vital to making renewable energy sources reliable and dispatchable. This led Sungrow and Super Energy, already partnered on a number of renewable energy projects in Southeast Asia, to proceed with the new plant’s development.

What is a battery energy storage system?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are essential for buildings and renewable power generation facilities to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply. Renewable sources like solar and wind power are intermittent, and influenced by weather patterns. BESS mitigates this issue by storing electricity for future use.

Is Southeast Asia a good place for energy storage?

At an industry event hosted by our publisher Solar Media earlier this year, Alexander Lenz, regional Asia-Pacific CEO for Aquila Capital, said that Southeast Asia has excellent potential for energy storage.

Why should you choose a liquid cooled power system in Thailand?

The liquid-cooled technology enables costs savings on logistics and installation as well as prolonging the life of the system and the company also claimed the high protection level of the battery cabinet and power conversion system (PCS) enclosure make the equipment suitable for Thailand’s often hot and wet climate conditions.

Could a sodium-ion battery be a new business opportunity in Thailand?

The Federation of Thai Industries’ Renewable Energy Industry Club sees potential in sodium-ion battery (SIB) production as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries. SIBs, made from rock salt, could offer a new business opportunity given Thailand’s abundant rock salt reserves.
