New energy storage autonomous equipment

What are autonomous Energy Systems (AES)?

Autonomous energy systems (AES) provide intelligent and robust solutions for operating highly electrified, heterogeneous energy systems. Energy systems have become increasingly heterogeneous due to the proliferation of solar, wind, energy storage, electric vehicles, and building automations.

Could a battery energy storage system take renewable assets to a smart operation?

When partnered with Artificial Intelligence (AI), the next generation of battery energy storage systems (BESS) have the potential to take renewable assets to a new level of smart operation, as Carlos Nieto, Global Product Line Manager, Energy Storage at ABB, explains.

Can artificial intelligence transform energy storage?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers significant potential to offer integrated advancements and optimized systems across the energy storage value chain, which can shift investment potential in renewable systems in places it is needed most.

Why is Ai important in energy storage?

While leveraging AI is crucial, it is equally important to address broader systemic issues such as existing socio-economic disparities, policy barriers impeding equitable energy access, and infrastructure inadequacies which limit to effectiveness and scale of AI solutions in energy storage.

What are the different types of stationary energy storage technologies?

Stationary energy storage technologies broadly fall into three categories: electro-chemical storage, namely batteries, fuel cells and hydrogen storage; electro-mechanical storage, such as compressed air storage, flywheel storage and gravitational storage; and thermal storage, including sensible, latent and thermochemical storage.

Why do we need energy storage solutions?

As the global energy transition accelerates, the need for reliable, scalable and cost-effective energy storage solutions has never been greater.
