Energy storage facilitie s are blurring those distinctions with their ability to rapidly switch bet ween supplying electricity to the grid and withdrawing electricity from it . Requests to connect energy storage facilities to the transmission system have prompted the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) to examine the costs that should be attributed to energy storage facilities\, the technic al standards with which they must comply\, and the rules under which they must operate. The AESO currently has initiatives underway to clarify and\, where appropriate\, develop tariff provisions\, standards\, and rules tha t apply to energy storage facilities. Although the existing regulatory fra mework provides some guidance\, participants in Alberta’s electric indus try can also contribute to the evolution of grid energy storage policy.\n\ nApplications:\n\nLithium-Ion Energy Storage Solutions:\n\nEnergy Storage compensates for variations in generation within milliseconds and secures s table grid operation. Energy storage solutions make it possible to integra te an increasing amount of solar and wind power generation into distributi on grids without the need for immediate extension. In addition to that\, e nergy storage solutions ensure a self-sufficient and reliable energy suppl y in micro-grids with renewable generation. Energy-efficient processes are of the highest importance for industrial businesses in order to keep ener gy costs down and exceeding the maximum load only once can lead to incurri ng high costs. In addition to that\, even the shortest interruption of ene rgy supply can lead to a complete failure of production plants. The conseq uences can have an enormous impact on loss of quality\, time\, and finance s.\n\nThe presentation will cover how Energy Storage solutions function as a modular system that combine cutting-edge power electronics for grid app lications with high-performance lithium-ion batteries.\n------------------ ---------------------------------------------\n\nUpon arrival at the prese ntation venue: Sign-in at the security desk in the main atrium of the T2 b uilding.
