Customer ServiceWhen in full operation, the Ruacana hydroelectric power station's three turbines can generate about 330 Megawatts that is fed into the Namibia Power Grid at 330 000 volts. The Ruacana hydroelectric power station is still the core of Namibia's power supply system. The first component of the Ruacana hydraulic system is the Diversion Weir, situated in Angolan territory.
Each of the three turbines at the NamPower - Ruacana Power Station can generate about 110 Megawatts when in full operation. The water drops almost 134m down vertical shafts into the heart of the mountain, where it drives the turbines before rejoining the Kunene from a discharge tunnel. The generated power is then fed into the Namibia Power Grid at 330 000 volts.
This model applies to energy storage located on the generator׳s/consumer׳s/end-user׳s side of the electricity meter, private wire and off-grid energy storage applications. In this case the generator/consumer/end-user would analyse their own localised energy needs and economics to determine the viability of the storage unit.
Against this background, the electricity demand growth rate for the SADC in total was expected to amount to an average of 2.0–5.7% per year for the period of 1996–2020, with Mozambique , Angola , Namibia and Lesotho producing the strongest growth rates with values between 3.4% and 13.1% per year (Bowen et al. 1999: 187).
