If the RH rises to 100% this would more than triple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This particular compressed air storage system is proudly South African developed and patent registered by Leaper Innovate Green Energies (Pty) Limited which holds 2 patents on this technology as submitted by IP owner\/designer Warwick Leaper:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>South African patent filed 2012 granted 2014 \u2013 2012\/07661 Energy Supply System<\/li>\n<li>PTC patent filed December 2017 \u2013 2017\/08356 \u2013 Compressed Air Energy System and Apparatus<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>LiGE estimate a 65% saving on the CLIENT\u2019S electricity bill when connected to the grid with a Retirn on Investment (ROI) of 6.5 years when comparing to grid power usage.<\/p>\n<p>A 30 year life-span is estimated for the systems which are scalable from 50Kwh to 1Mwh storage.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/straton.co.za\/solar\/\">Chat to Straton Solar<\/a><\/strong> about this innovative energy storage system.<\/p>\n<p>The LiGE Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is about to be installed in a number of sites after being introduced to Australia by Queensland-based Essential Water and Energy Services thereby unlocking the potential of CAES as a scalable energy storage system for clean intermittent sources with a long lifespan and low-cost.<\/p>\n<p>CAES is not a new technology, of course. The first system (290 MW) was installed at Huntorf, Germany, in 1978 and is still in operation today. In 1988, the Alabama Electric Cooperative\u2019s 110 MW CAES plant also began operations in North America. CAES has become a more feasible solution in the last year and several large-scale projects have been announced in the United States, Israel and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>The LiGE is a zero-emissions air battery that can be linked to the grid or a renewable energy source to provide clean energy and even clean water.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt width=\"1024\" height=\"592\" class=\"size-large aligncenter wp-image-129807 lazyload\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/could-this-be-nelson-mandela-bays-saving-grace.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter wp-image-129807\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/could-this-be-nelson-mandela-bays-saving-grace.jpg\" alt width=\"1024\" height=\"592\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Video:<\/strong> Could THIS be Nelson Mandela Bays Saving Grace?<\/p>\n<p>[embedded content]<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/Could%20THIS%20be%20Nelson%20Mandela%20Bays%20Saving%20Grace?\/2\/\">Boilerplate and Editor\u2019s Notes<\/a><\/strong>.<br \/><strong>More Info on <a href=\"https:\/\/straton.co.za\/solar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Could THIS be Nelson Mandela Bays Saving Grace?<\/a> here:<\/strong><br \/><strong>Twitter<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MyPE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/MyPE<\/a><br \/><strong>Facebook<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/StratonElectrical\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/StratonElectrical\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/save-with-myprs-monthly-flat-fee\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">20<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/could-this-be-nelson-mandela-bays-saving-grace\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
