A 5 - 10 MW solar array is just the sort of project that would be perfect to get a Hydrostor/CCE strategic alliance underway.
This then could be followed up by a bigger compressed air energy storage and solar array project to service a mine.
"Once the plant is operational there are plans to build solar PV capacity – in the region of 5-10MW – and connect to the plant so the whole system provides baseload solar-generated electricity and sell into the power market."
"The company is talking to a couple of mine site operators in Australia, where its A-CAES system can be built with solar PV, to provide baseload solar generated electricity. One of these projects is sizeable, in the region of 100MW solar-plus-storage capacity, with up to 85MW of charge and 15MW of discharge, with the ability to store 15MW for up to 24 hours."
