Sineng Electric has collaborated with Trinasolar to supply its central PCS energy storage solution to the 300MWh Abydos battery energy storage project in Kom Ombo, Egypt. It is the country’s first utility-scale storage project, defining a new era for clean energy deployment in North Africa.
Developed by AMEA Power and constructed by Energy China ZTPC, the facility is a key expansion of the existing 500MW Abydos solar power plant. By integrating a battery energy storage system (BESS), the project facilitates the efficient management of solar energy and supports Egypt’s vision for a sustainable and diversified energy mix.
The project incorporates Sineng’s 5MW central PCS MV turnkey stations. Engineered for efficiency, reliability and safety, the PCS features advanced thermal management, compatibility with high-power batteries and multi-layer protection. The innovative design not only improves system performance but also lowers capital expenditure, providing a cost-effective and scalable solution for utility-scale projects.
Sineng VP Zhengmao Jiang commented: “The project exemplifies the transformative potential of solar-plus-storage systems in addressing energy challenges. It also marks Sineng Electric’s first shipment of energy storage solutions to the Middle East and Africa, a significant milestone in our global expansion. We are delighted to contribute to Egypt’s efforts to advance its energy infrastructure, enhance grid stability and ensure a reliable energy supply.”
