Namuhla ukusetshenziswa kwezimoto zikagesi kuya ngokuya kwanda futhi ngakho-ke, ubuchwepheshe obenza ukuthi busebenze kahle kakhulu buthuthukiswa kakhulu. Isitoreji Samandla E-Albufera yinkampani enkulu ezinikele ekugcineni amandla kagesi namabhethri futhi ikhuthaze i- Iphrojekthi ye-SALSA (Hlanza Izithuthi ngoSekelo Lwesitoreji). Le phrojekthi isuselwa ekwakhiweni kwenethiwekhi yezimoto ezisebenza ngogesi ezinamaphuzu okushaja angama- inikwa amandla ngamandla avuselelekayo.
Amandla avuselelekayo ayiphuzu lokuhlanganisa ukonga umnotho futhi abamba iqhaza ekulweni nokuguquka kwesimo sezulu. Ngenxa yokwehliswa kokukhishwa kwegesi ebamba ukushisa, okuvuselelekayo kuyinsiza enhle yokunqanda ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke. Inkinga ngezimoto zikagesi ilele ukuzimela kwemoto. Kodwa-ke, iphrojekthi ye-SALSA isusa ukubaluleka kulokhu kulokhu ngokusebenzisa amabhethri lapho i-Albufera Energy Storage ikhethekile khona.
Ngenxa yalokhu, owokuqala i-smart-grid noma igridi ehlakaniphile eSpain lapho imigwaqo inezindawo zokuvuselela amandla ezimoto zikagesi ezinikwe amandla amandla avuselelekayo. Lawa ma-smart-grids aphethwe ngokulawulwa kwedatha ngamadivayisi wokuqapha nokuqinisekisa ibhalansi phakathi kwe- ukukhiqizwa kwamandla avuselelekayo futhi i gcwalisa usebenzisa amabhethri e-Albufera Energy.
Iphrojekthi izoqala ngochungechunge lwabashayeli bezindiza ku IHavana (Cuba), kepha kunezinhlelo zokwanda ngeMadrid, Ibiza, Torrelavega nePernambuco eBrazil. Le nethiwekhi yezimoto zikagesi iqala kuphela ngezinjongo zokuvakasha ukukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwamandla avuselelekayo.
Isabella guerreroUmphathi wephrojekthi we-SALSA, usho lokhu okulandelayo:
«Iphrojekthi yakwa-SALSA ibe nokwamukelwa okuhle kakhulu kuzo zonke izimo eyethulwe kuzo, kubandakanya omasipala nezinkampani, futhi kuzo zonke izimo amaqembu asetshenziswayo asungulelwe ukutadisha ukusebenza kwawo. Ukuhamba kukagesi kulungile emadolobheni amakhulu nasezindaweni eziqhingini, ngoba amandla ezimoto ezimoto zikagesi ahlanganisa ibanga lendawo nezidingo zemvelo »
