Energy storage technology
En AES nos enorgullece ser pioneros y líderes globales en sistemas de almacenamiento de energía en baterías (BESS). Trabajamos junto a socios en todo el mundo para desplegar soluciones reconocidas y premiadas que mejoran la confiabilidad, flexibilidad y resiliencia de las redes eléctricas. En 2009 desarrollamos el primer BESS a escala utility del mundo y fuimos los primeros en instalar sistemas comerciales en varios países, incluido Chile.
Energy storage benefits
Increases energy reliability
Provides grid resilience
Supports renewable and thermal energy
Creates revenue generation or cost savings
Promotes cleaner energy
Integrating technologies for your energy needs
Behind the meter
Behind the meter (BTM) solutions enable you to generate and manage their own energy on-site using solar, wind systems, or other renewable technologies. This reduces dependence on the grid, lowers energy costs, and enhances resilience against outages. By optimizing self-consumption and integrating storage, businesses can also maximize efficiency and sustainability
Solar + Storage
Combining solar generation with battery storage to capture and store excess electricity for later use. It enables you to reduce reliance on the grid, shift energy consumption to lower-cost periods, and ensure uninterrupted power supply during peak demand or outages, improving both sustainability and resilience.
Gas + battery storage
Pairing gas generation with battery storage enhances grid flexibility by providing fast-response power balancing and backup energy. This hybrid solution enables you to optimize costs, increase energy efficiency, and integrate more renewables into their energy mix.
Energy arbitrage
Energy arbitrage involves strategically storing energy when prices are low and using or selling it when prices are high. By leveraging battery storage and smart energy management systems, you can optimize operational costs, improve energy efficiency, and generate revenue from market fluctuations while supporting grid stability
Frequency regulation
This solution stabilizes the grid by managing short-term fluctuations in electricity supply and demand using battery storage and flexible generation assets. It enhances grid reliability, prevents power disruptions, and supports the integration of renewable energy sources.
Peaking capacity
Peaking capacity is the extra power generation reserved for times when electricity demand is high. Both power plants and batteries can provide this extra capacity.
Microgrid
A microgrid is a localized, self-sufficient energy system that integrates generation, battery storage, and advanced controls to operate independently or alongside the main grid. It enhances energy security, minimizes disruptions, and provides a cost-effective pathway to greater sustainability and resilience.
24/7 carbon free energy
24/7 carbon free energy guarantees a continuous supply of clean energy every hour of every day by integrating a mix of renewable sources, such as solar or wind, with energy storage, grid management solutions and energy attributes solutions like renewable energy and carbon credits. This comprehensive solution helps you meet ambitious carbon neutrality goals and achieve energy independence.
Virtual reservoir
By combining hydroelectric power with battery storage, this solution enhances grid flexibility and optimizes energy distribution. It enables you to leverage hydro’s reliability while improving storage capabilities to meet fluctuating demand and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
