Most of CEB’s thermal power stations are located in the vicinity of the Port Area in Port Louis on account of on-shore fuel handling facilities which are readily available for unloading of fuel. Mauritius has a good solar regime, with a potential average annual solar radiation value of some 6 kWh/m²/day.
The ability to use energy storage as a means of minimizing the port’s cost of procured energy is a key advantage of in-port batteries. ESSOP has explored two ways in which ports can minimize their energy costs by using energy storage: • Optimising how to use PV solar generation to offset grid electricity.
The Central Electricity Board (CEB) is a parastatal body wholly owned by the Government of Mauritius and operating under the aegis of the Ministry of Energy and Public Utilities.
Storing energy, particularly in the form of electrical energy which is the form required for shore power and vessel recharging, is expensive. Although lithium-ion batteries are considered to be the ‘go-to’ technology, there are other types of battery chemistry which could become attractive.
In many cases, however, battery storage will be beneficial: allowing the port to optimize its procurement of electricity under a time-of-day tariff, to reduce its peak load on the grid connection and to optimise use of on-site renewable generation, notably PV solar.
Mauritius has a nominal installed capacity of 876.76 MW, out of which 498.47 MW are from CEB generating units and the remaining 378.29 MW are from Independent Power Producers, Medium Scale Distributed Generators and Small Scale Distributed Generators. In 2018, the total energy generated amounted to 2,827.6 GWh.
