TÜV SÜD provides support, assessment or certification services in the field of energy. We can help you to ensure energy with defined qualities, sustainability and environment friendliness.
Below SCU will take you to understand the background, technical requirements and impact of NRS097-2 certification on the South African energy market.
Today''s renewable energy storage solutions were inconceivable just a few years ago. Now, with decreasing costs alongside accelerating innovation in digital technologies, battery storage is not just an increasingly viable option, but an integral part of renewable energy solutions.
Africa''s energy storage market has seen a boom since 2017, having risen from just 31MWh to 1,600MWh in 2024, according to trade body AFSIA Solar''s latest report.
The interplay between renewable energy and energy storage is pivotal in the quest for sustainable development in Africa. The successful integration of these elements can maximize energy generation and minimize

BESS, or Battery Energy Storage Systems, stores electricity in batteries for on-demand power supply. The phrase "battery system" encompasses battery design, engineering, and deployment. Various energy sources like gas, nuclear, wind, and solar can charge BESS, making it crucial for stabilising grids and enhancing renewable energy reliability.
Learn about the global certification requirements for household energy storage systems, including UL, CE, CEC, JIS, and transportation certifications like UN38.3. Essential information for companies looking to expand internationally.
The use of renewable energy resources for electricity production in Africa is not a nascent phenomenon. Countries within the region have mainly relied on hydroelectric power, with coal and use of natural gas only being present in a few countries in North Africa and South Africa.
The interplay between renewable energy and energy storage is pivotal in the quest for sustainable development in Africa. The successful integration of these elements can maximize energy generation and minimize waste.

DNV has developed an accredited certification approach which aims to accelerate a safe and sound implementation of electrical energy storage systems, by providing a framework for certification of safety, operation and performance of electrical energy storage systems.
Assembly inspection of the Energy Storage System (optional phase). The Project Certification covers the application of several certified components for a specific Energy Storage System project and includes the following mandatory and optional phases:
Comprehensive certification of energy storage systems delivers maximum stakeholder confidence The number of wind and solar installations on different scales is increasing globally. Also, their relative share in the electricity generation mix is increasing.
The industry needs hardware, software and international standards – and on top of all this, there is an increasing requirement for power to come from renewable sources. North Africa is witnessing a rising number of refinery green- and brownfield projects, which will warrant an increase in backup power requirements.
Similarly, the expanding involvement of the countries in the region towards its renewable and Electric Vehicle (EV) sector is likely to create several future opportunities for the North African battery market. Committed to reducing emissions by 65% in the oil and gas sector, and 7% in the transportation sector by 2030.
The report notes this initiative, which is described as a means to fill the short-term supply gap, alleviate the electricity supply constraints, and reduce the extensive utilisation of diesel-based peaking electrical generators. Several initiatives and drivers for energy storage have also been introduced to African countries.
