Kaieteur News – LNDCH4 Guyana on Friday announced the arrival of the Backup Energy Storage System (BESS) to support the country’s gas-to-energy project.
The BESS which forms a critical part of the power plant’s emergency support system and is engineered to ensure uninterrupted energy delivery in the event of turbine failure came through the John Fernandes wharf.
“The inclusion of this advanced battery system reinforces LNDCH4’s commitment to delivering a reliable power solution for Guyana. With a total capacity of 30 megawatts (MW), the system was shipped in twenty-two (22) containers which comprises of battery racks, six (6) inverters, auxiliary transformers and a fully integrated Power Distribution Center (PDC) shelter,” the company said in a statement.
It also includes an Energy Management System (EMS), Battery Management System (BMS), Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), Fire suppression system and HVAC units to ensure optimal performance and safety under all conditions. Designed to respond instantaneously, the BESS provides critical backup power to protect the integrity of the electrical grid and maintain operational stability in unexpected scenarios.
LNDCH4 said that the BESS joins the growing list of critical components already received for the project, including two state-of-the-art gas turbines, each capable of generating 45 MW of electricity. The arrival of the BESS marks significant progress of the Gas-to-Energy (GtE) progress and highlights LNDCH4’s commitment to Guyana.
Country manager Humberto Lopez stated, “This shipment demonstrates our continued commitment to the highest standard of operational excellence.”
As a key component of Guyana’s landmark Gas-to-Energy (GtE) initiative, the BESS will enhance the project’s efficiency and reliability; helping to stabilize the national grid, reduce carbon emissions and support the delivery of affordable electricity to homes and businesses across the country.
