Kwemererwa iterambere rya sisitemu nini yo kubika ingufu za bateri muri Nouvelle-Zélande (BESS) kugeza ubu ni byo byateguwe.

Umushinga wo kubika batiri za 100MW uri mu itegurwa n'ikigo gishinzwe gutanga amashanyarazi n'ubucuruzi bwa Meridian Energy i Ruākākā ku kirwa cya Nouvelle-Zélande. Aha hantu hari hafi ya Marsden Point, ahahoze ari uruganda rutunganya peteroli.

Mu cyumweru gishize (3 Ugushyingo) Meridian yavuze ko yahawe uburenganzira bwo gukoresha uyu mushinga n’Inama Njyanama y’Akarere ka Whangārei n’abayobozi b’Inama Njyanama y’Akarere ka Northland. Ni cyo cyiciro cya mbere cya Pariki y’Ingufu ya Ruākākā, aho Meridian yizeye kubaka uruganda rwa PV rutanga ingufu z’izuba rwa 125MW aho hantu nyuma.

Meridian ifite intego yo gushyiraho BESS mu mwaka wa 2024. Umuyobozi w’ishami rishinzwe iterambere ry’amashanyarazi rishobora kongera gukoreshwa muri iyo sosiyete, Helen Knott, yavuze ko ubufasha izatanga kuri uru ruziga buzagabanya ihindagurika ry’ingufu n’ibikenewe, bityo bikagira uruhare mu kugabanya ibiciro by’amashanyarazi.

Knott yagize ati: “Twabonye uburyo bwacu bw’amashanyarazi buhura n’ingorane rimwe na rimwe bitewe n’ibibazo by’amashanyarazi byatumye ibiciro bihindagurika. Uburyo bwo kubika bateri buzafasha kugabanya ibi bibazo binyuze mu koroshya ikwirakwizwa ry’ibikoresho n’ibikenewe.”

Iyi sisitemu izakoresha ingufu zihendutse mu masaha atari ay'umuvuduko w'amashanyarazi, hanyuma izohereze ku muyoboro w'amashanyarazi mu gihe hakenewe ingufu nyinshi. Izatuma kandi ingufu nyinshi zikomoka ku kirwa cy'Amajyepfo cya Nouvelle-Zélande zikoreshwa mu majyaruguru.

Knott yavuze ko mu gufasha kongera ikoreshwa ry’ingufu zishobora kuvugururwa, iyi nyubako ishobora no gutuma umutungo w’ibikomoka kuri peteroli uhagarara ku kirwa cya Ruguru.

Nkuko byatangajwe naAmakuru yo kubika ingufuMuri Werurwe, umushinga munini wo kubika batiri muri Nouvelle-Zélande watangajwe ku mugaragaro ni sisitemu ya 35MW irimo kubakwa n'ikigo gikwirakwiza amashanyarazi cya WEL Networks hamwe n'ikigo gishinzwe iterambere rya Infratec.

Nanone ku kirwa cya Ruguru, uwo mushinga uri hafi ku itariki uteganijwe kurangira mu Ukuboza uyu mwaka, hamwe n'ikoranabuhanga rya BESS ritangwa na Saft na sisitemu zo guhindura amashanyarazi (PCS) na Power Electronics NZ.

Sisitemu ya mbere yo kubika bateri ku gipimo cya megawati mu gihugu ikekwa ko ari umushinga wa 1MW/2.3MWh warangiye mu 2016 hakoreshejwe Tesla Powerpack, ikaba ari yo mashini ya mbere ya Tesla yo guhindura uburyo bwa BESS mu nganda no mu buryo bwa grid. Ariko BESS ya mbere yahujwe n'umuyoboro w'amashanyarazi ufite ingufu nyinshi muri Nouvelle-Zélande yaje nyuma y'imyaka ibiri.
