This project, developed by Vietnam Electricity (EVN) in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP), and the Vietnam Energy Institute, marks a crucial step towards Vietnam’s target of developing 300MW of energy storage by 2030, as outlined in the latest Eighth Power Development Plan (PDP 8).

Sunita Dubey and Hyunjung Lee share how Vietnam is leveraging Battery Energy Storage Systems to stabilize their grid and accelerate the energy transition.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges by minimising the intermittency of renewables, enhancing grid flexibility, and ensuring reliable power supply. In a significant development, Vietnam Electricity (EVN) has secured approval for its first pilot BESS project with a capacity of 50 MW/50MWh.
At a meeting on Wednesday, the ADB side, represented by Andrew Jeffries, advisor, Energy Transition Mechanism and Partnerships, proposed building a pilot 50MW/50MWh BESS project near Hanoi. A meeting between EVN and ADB to discuss the BESS project, Hanoi, August 14, 2024. Photo courtesy of EVN.
The government anticipates a 10-12% annual surge through 2030 in the nation’s power consumption. This rapidly expanding energy demand presents a significant challenge to Vietnam’s transforming energy landscape, especially considering the urgent need to reduce global emissions and utilise renewable alternatives.
Vietnam is advancing its energy infrastructure towards a greener, more just, and energy-efficient future, simultaneously providing a valuable model inspiring the global drive towards an energy-resilient future.

This paper focused on the evaluation of wind and solar resources, new energy site planning, total installed capacity and optimal power ratio, optimal allocation of energy storage, coordinated control technology to ensure safety and stability and economic evaluation indicators of the project, so as to extract the general process and development mode suitable for the construction and promotion of multi-energy complementary projects.

This article will introduce in detail how to design an energy storage cabinet device, and focus on how to integrate key components such as PCS (power conversion system), EMS (energy management system), lithium battery, BMS (battery management system), STS (static transfer switch), PCC (electrical connection control) and MPPT (maximum power point tracking) to ensure efficient, safe and reliable operation of the system.

Energy Storage Cabinet is a vital part of modern energy management system, especially when storing and dispatching energy between renewable energy (such as solar energy and wind energy) and power grid.
Lithium batteries have become the most commonly used battery type in modern energy storage cabinets due to their high energy density, long life, low self-discharge rate and fast charge and discharge speed.
The following are several key design points: Modular design: The design of the energy storage cabinet should adopt a modular structure to facilitate expansion, maintenance and replacement. Battery modules, inverters, protection devices, etc. can be designed and replaced independently.
STS can complete power switching within milliseconds to ensure the continuity and reliability of power supply. In the design of energy storage cabinets, STS is usually used in the following scenarios: Power switching: When the power grid loses power or fails, quickly switch to the energy storage system to provide power.
Among them, the 30KW photovoltaic storage integrated machine has a DC voltage of 200~850V, supports MPPT, STS, PCS functions, supports diesel generator access, supports wind power, photovoltaic, and diesel power generation access, and is comparable to Deye Machinery. The Energy Management System (EMS) is the "brain" of the energy storage cabinet.
As the global demand for clean energy increases, the design and optimization of energy storage system has become one of the core issues in the energy field.

Recently, Egypt’s Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy, the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company, and a consortium comprising Infinity Power and Hassan Allam Utilities Energy Platform formally signed an agreement to jointly develop solar power projects with a total installed capacity of 1.2GW, coupled with the construction of a 720MWh battery energy storage system.
