Summary
PLN Group is holding a joint operation (KSO) collaboration with Indonesia Battery Corporation (IBC) to build a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Pilot project with a capacity of 5 megawatts (MW) this year.
PLN Director of Corporate Planning Evy Haryadi said the new and renewable energy (NRE) development requires adequate BESS “because the development of renewable energy plants is currently dominated by intermittent solar power plants (PLTS) and wind power plants (PLTB). they require batteries to provide a consistent power supply, “Evy said Thursday.
She said PLN has a program to convert diesel power (PLTD) to EBT-based power plants. This year, the state power producer will start converting 250 MW PLTD into PLTS. “In line with the plan, the role of BESS is crucial so that the power supply can flow for 24 hours,” he said.
