40 MW / 60 MWh Energy Storage System Energization in the Philippines

Power Factors has successfully completed the commissioning of the energy management system (EMS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) in a 40 MW / 60 MWh energy storage project located in Lugon Island, Philippines.

It is a part of the country’s first hybrid solar-plus-storage project and the largest in the Philippines.

The asset is built with 24 battery containers of lithium-ion batteries which can store the energy from the adjacent 120 MW solar plant when electricity demand is low and then power around 20,000 homes, offsetting 36 metric tons of CO2-equivalent emissions per year.

At the same time, it offers ancillary services to the national grid, such as frequency support, voltage support, and reserve power. Our EMS is the heart of the system, enabling the provisioning of all those services, either individually or in a stacked fashion.
