SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE 14 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Technological Institute of Renewable Energy (ITER), which operates under the authority of the Cabildo of Tenerife, has halted the works of the FOTOBAT 5+5 initiative currently taking place in Arico after the discovery of an archaeological site.

The project is being conducted on land owned by ITER and, in collaboration with the Historical Heritage department of the insular Corporation, the activities were paused until the extent of the findings can be assessed.

ITER has engaged an archaeologist to conduct a thorough examination of the entire area where the project is situated, with the aim of safeguarding and preserving any elements that may be uncovered. Once this investigation is complete, the subsequent steps will be outlined in order to proceed with the project, as noted by the Cabildo.

FOTOBAT 5+5 is an innovative research and development pilot project focused on the generation and storage of renewable energy, aimed at improving the integration of renewable sources into the electrical grid via a hybrid photovoltaic generation and energy storage system.

The setup comprises a photovoltaic solar plant with a nominal output of 5 MW linked to the medium voltage network, paired with an electrochemical battery storage system that has a capacity of 5 MWh.

Furthermore, the FOTOBAT 5+5 initiative includes the creation of a bidirectional converter and an advanced control system, which will optimise the operation of this hybrid installation.

These technologies will be crucial for ensuring the effective integration of the generated and stored energy, thereby maintaining the harmony and stability of the electrical transmission network, in close alignment with the guidelines established by the System Operator, Red Eléctrica (REE).

The anticipated advantages of this hybrid installation include the ability to smooth demand peaks, maintain a stable load curve, and assure power supply in cases of contingencies, all of which contribute to more efficient energy management.

Additionally, the project will provide a foundation for analysing the economic feasibility of battery storage systems.
