SgurrEnergy has secured the contract to develop Sri Lanka’s first 100 MW solar photovoltaic project with a 12 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). It will be implemented in multiple phases, covering technical design, hydrological assessment, procurement support, and engineering services.
The first phase includes advanced modelling of the PV and BESS systems, along with performance simulations and computation of cost variables like levelised cost of energy and levelised cost of storage to ensure optimal design and efficiency.
Subsequent phases involve hydrology studies to evaluate local water resource availability and management, preparation of request for proposals, technical evaluation of bids, engineering design, establishment of quality assurance frameworks, and regulatory documentation for project approval and compliance. Additionally, the project will utilise technologies such as string inverters, bi-facial or mono PERC modules, and either fixed tilt or horizontal single-axis tracking systems.
