AES Pioneering Utility Scale Energy Storage Technology AES Pioneering Utility Scale Energy Storage Technology

When electric utilities or companies declare that they will need new power capacity to keep up with the growing appetite for electricity, most people think of new power plants and transmission lines. But some companies are proposing something novel: grid energy storage systems. One such company, AES Energy Storage (one of the companies speaking at our Forum in Rome), is pioneering this emissions- and water-free technology. Utility-scale energy storage technology — which will no doubt be a much discussed cleantech topic in 2012 (and is already off to a quick start) — can help to green the grid by enhancing renewable energy’s role in meeting demand, particularly during peak electric consumption times of the day. It can also help to lower electricity rates for consumers. Read the full interview at the link below and come and listen to AES in person at our Forum in Rome.

Ultracapacitor UPS (U-UPS) for voltage dips and micro-interruptions

Power interruptions are the most frequent power supply problems with wide-ranging consequences for industry. The causes of these interruptions include short-circuits in the distribution grid, lightning strikes, the connection and disconnection of power plants as well as volatile energy producers such as wind and solar. Because technologies and production processes are becoming increasingly complex, the…
