Energy Storage Equipment in Cairo: Powering Egypt''s
As Cairo''s temperatures keep breaking records, the need for climate-resilient storage grows urgent. Our team''s currently testing phase-change materials that could reduce cooling energy
Wealthy Cairenes in the sprawling suburbs can go from air-conditioned homes to air-conditioned cars to air-conditioned malls, or even send their doormen on errands. In the cramped, churning traditional areas of central Cairo, that option does not exist.
It might look like a party, but in reality, one shopkeeper said, “everybody is dead on the inside.” A darkened market in Cairo at night. To reduce electricity consumption, the government has mandated that commercial shops across the country close by 10 p.m., with some variations and exceptions.
Ten p.m. arrives in Cairo's Sayyida Zeinab neighborhood with the same dogged tenacity as it does anywhere else, but down the fluorescent shopping streets and in the sidewalk cafes, few people used to glance at the clock. It might have been near bedtime in other countries, but Cairo was practically still waking up.
Thus there is a need for some form of energy storage. Virtual storage for large energy generation systems is implemented by connecting all energy supply sources, conventional or renewable, to a common massive electrical grid; the demand side (consumers) are all also connected to the same grid.
