A blog about Botswana energy matters by Mike Mooiman, 2015/2016 Fulbright Scholar at the University of Botswana and business program professor at Franklin Pierce University, New Hampshire. In Part 1, we looked at the big picture of energy supply and use in Botswana; in Part 2, we took a closer look at coal resources; Part 3 covered
With the higher penetration of renewable energy sources and the various types of load devices connected to the grids, the Fault Induced Delayed Voltage Recovery (FIDVR) issue has become more prominent in power systems. Load shedding has long been used as an emergency control measure to address FIDVR. Battery Energy Storage Systems
Botswana''s energy policy is anchored on three key aspects – increasing access to electricity through the Rural Electrification Project, security, and
Overall, battery energy storage systems represent a significant leap forward in emergency power technology over diesel standby generators. In fact, the US saw an increase of 80% in the number of battery energy storage systems installed in 2022. As we move towards a more sustainable and resilient energy future, BESS is poised to play a pivotal
Due to that photovoltaic power generation, energy storage and electric vehicles constitute a dynamic alliance in the integrated operation mode of the value chain (Liu et al., 2020, Jicheng and Yu, 2019, Jicheng et al., 2019), the behaviors of the three parties affect each other, and the mutual trust level of the three parties will determine the
Fig. 1.1 Load curves for a large power storage system. (a) EES in peak regulation; (b) EES in load balanced. The development of power systems has seen negligible energy storage devices being incorporated into the traditional power generation industry. In

BERA was established in 2016 by an act of parliament, the Botswana Energy Regulatory Authority Act No 13 of 2016 (revised 2020) to regulate the energy sector (including electricity) in Botswana. Thus, backed by law, BERA enjoys credibility, which has an impact on investor and consumer confidence. BERA''s regulatory functions are clearly set
This infographic summarizes results from simulations that demonstrate the ability of Botswana to match all-purpose energy demand with wind-water-solar (WWS) electricity and heat supply, storage, and demand response continuously every 30 seconds for
The extreme weather and natural disasters will cause power grid outage. In disaster relief, mobile emergency energy storage vehicle (MEESV) is the significant tool for protecting critical loads from power grid outage. However, the on-site online expansion of multiple MEESVs always faces the challenges of hardware and software configurations through
The emergency power interruption came as a result of the heavy rains and lightening that led to disturbances in the power distribution system. The Corporation is working around the clock to restore electricity to all the affected areas. The Corporation regrets the inconvenience brought to its Valued Customers by the emergency power interruption.
This research examines Botswana''s significant reliance on coal and imported fossil fuels for electricity generation, contributing to high carbon emissions and energy insecurity influenced by volatile fuel prices and supply challenges. The study utilizes the Open-Source Energy Modelling System (OSeMOSYS) to explore cost-effective
At this time, the average resident in Botswana, using more than 200 kWh/month, is paying 88.28 thebe (1/100 of a pula (P), the currency of Botswana) per kWh, which is equivalent to US$ 0.0762/kWh (@ P11.59/US$). Compare this with the average costs of electricity in the US at $ 0.1273/kWh and Germany at $ 0.3140 $/kWh.
The Botswana Power Corporation, the country''s national power utility, launched a tender for a 100 MW solar PV project in Jwaneng, located in Botswana''s south. Power producers have until Oct
The solution. The plant uses two 45MW GE LM6000 gas turbines supplied by GE Gas Power. These dual fuel Sprint simple cycle units are among more than 6,000 turbines in GE''s fleet installed throughout the world. Orapa station serves as an emergency power facility when supply from conventional electricity generation sources is inadequate to

109 (2005 dollars at PPP) in 1990, decreasing to 3.1 in 2012. The government target is to achieve 10 per cent power savings through energy efficiency schemes by 2020. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 1990 and 2010 was -1.34 and between
For 2012, the total energy supply available in Botswana was 109,165 terajoules (TJ), as shown in the pie chart below. Almost one half of Botswana''s energy supply is in the form of oil products, such as petrol and diesel. The green flows in the Sankey diagram show that these are mainly used in transportation and industry.
