Smart power systems
The threats related, among other things, to the shortage of primary energy resources and insufficient efficiency of energy generation and transmission fostered the introduction of new power grid technologies and standards. An intelligent energy supply system commonly referred to as “smart grids” is such a standard, and it is ready to meet the expectations of the 21st century. A smart grid provides electricity, or – more broadly – energy services to consumers by means of IT solutions, which reduces costs, increases efficiency and integrates distributed energy sources, including renewable ones.
CAT modular energy storage units:
CAT energy storage units offer all the advantages of an energy storage system. We offer solutions both in container housings and in-built in a wide range of power and energy parameters. CAT energy storage units are perfectly aligned with market trends, which put more and more emphasis on the use of energy storage technologies, to the extent that their use is often a necessity along with the increase of the RES share in the energy market increases or the expansion of electro mobility.
Application:
- Grid stabilisation
- Temporary power support in applications with intermittent demand for energy that do not require the expansion of power infrastructure
- Storage of energy when it is cheap or not needed
- Integration of RES with the power grid
- Improvement of the quality of grid parameters
- Static reactive power compensation
- A necessity in independently-powered systems
Equipment:
- Energy storage type: lithium-ion cells or lithium-ion cells with supercapacitors
- CAT BDP250 bidirectional inverter
- Lighting installation and HVAC
- Fire Protection System
- Battery management system (BMS)
- Remote Communication
- Container housing, indoor solutions available for lower power
