Credit: Ezra Group A public-private partnership in South Sudan has launched the country's first major solar power plant and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in the capital Juba, where it is expected to provide electricity to thousands of homes.
According to a 2024 sciencedirect.com report, South Sudan struggles to provide its citizens access to electricity despite having abundant energy resources, particularly fossil fuels.
The 20MW solar plant can generate sufficient power to supply electricity to up to 16,000 households in Juba, significantly reducing energy costs and bolstering grid reliability, said the project's developer.
It integrates key components such as battery packs, Battery Management Systems (BMS), energy storage inverters (PCS), and Energy Management Systems (EMS) into a standardized container, forming a plug-and-play energy storage unit.
Electrical design for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) container involves planning and specifying the components, wiring, and protection measures required for a safe and efficient operation. Key elements of electrical design include:
The container complies with the ISO standard. The system is installed in 20 ft, 40 ft and containers of other sizes according to the system size, and the containers can be combined together. In this configuration, the system can be transported by trailer on land and by container carrier over water (Figure 2).

The rapid charging or discharging characteristics of battery energy storage system is an effective method to realize load shifting in distribution network and control the fluctuations of load power substantiall.
According to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code), BESS is classified as Class 9 hazardous goods, with the United Nations number UN3536.
Because batteries are classified as dangerous goods due to fire and explosion risk. That means stricter packaging, labelling, documentation, and carrier approvals. This guide explains everything you need to know to stay compliant and avoid costly delays – from battery classifications to mode-specific rules and best practices for shipping safely.
Except for containerized lithium-ion battery energy storage systems and vehicles powered by lithium batteries (pure electric or hybrid), packages containing lithium batteries or battery packs must be affixed with the 9A dangerous goods label as shown in Figure 4 or the lithium battery mark as shown in Figure 5, as required.
12. March 2025 In recent years, demand for the maritime transportation of containerised Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) has grown significantly. However, due to the high safety risks associated with energy storage containers, their transportation poses new challenges to maritime safety.
Except for vehicles driven by lithium batteries (pure electric or hybrid), containers containing lithium battery hazardous goods must have Class 9 hazardous goods labels and UN number markings affixed to each side and each end of the container (for lithium-ion battery energy storage systems, on two opposite sides).
Segregation: It is recommended to segregate lithium battery containers from those containing other dangerous goods, particularly flammables, by at least one container bay (6 meters). Securing: All cargo must be secured within its container and on the vessel in accordance with the CTU Code and the vessel's Cargo Securing Manual.
Most lithium batteries are classified as Class 9 dangerous goods but the exact handling requirements depend on: Other battery types – like lead-acid, nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), and dry cell batteries — may fall under different categories, but all require proper classification, documentation, and packaging to move legally and safely.
