Case Study: Energy Storage Project at a Food Processing Plant in Nairobi, Kenya
Project Background
A food processing plant located in the Nairobi Industrial Zone, Kenya, faced severe challenges from frequent power outages and unstable voltage. The plant primarily produces ready-to-eat food products; power outages caused refrigeration equipment to shut down, resulting in significant spoilage of raw materials. Furthermore, the high cost of diesel generators ($0.45/kWh) severely impacted the company's profitability.
Project Solution
• Deployment of a commercial lithium iron phosphate energy storage system
• Configuration of an intelligent switching device for millisecond-level seamless transition during power outages
• Dust and moisture-proof design adapted to East African climate conditions
• Integration of a battery management system to ensure stable operation in high-temperature environments
User Feedback
"Since installing the energy storage system, our production has significantly improved. During the six power outages last month, the production line remained unaffected, avoiding approximately $5,000 in product losses. The system charges during off-peak hours at night and discharges during peak hours during the day, reducing our electricity costs by 30%."
