Nidec ASI Presents Its Latest Battery Technology At Energy Storage Europe Trade Fair

The industrial solutions provider also seeks an entry into the North American market with the construction of a UL-certified 1,500 Volts drive and its recent appointment of Sales Director Matteo Rizzi to focus on BESS and PV projects.

Nidec ASI provides a total of 603 MW of turnkey solutions – such as PV, micro grid and BESS projects – to 15 countries across the globe, including Germany, France, Italy, Romania, Greece, Brazil, India, Algeria, Morocco, Chile, the Dominican Republic, French Guyana, La Réunion and the Maldives.

Highly strategic sector

“Energy storage is a highly strategic sector for Nidec ASI,” said Giovanni Barra, CEO of Nidec ASI.  “With our innovative Power Management System, first-class room-saving packaging solutions and installment of well above 100 MW of battery energy projects alone, Nidec ASI is a key player in the storage of Energy and Power Stabilization. Our presence at Energy Storage Europe is an excellent opportunity for us to forge new relationships with both local and continental energy players.”

Big deal with STEAG

At the end of 2015, Nidec ASI landed a 70 million Euro EPC contract with German utility STEAG for the supply of multiple systems of energy storage for a total capacity of 90 MW. The awarding of this project confirmed the company’s growing expertise in the utility-scale sector, particularly in the past few years.

Boasting an excellent track record with similar projects for the French Islands – including La Réunion, Corsica, and French Guyana – and also supporting Italy’s Terna and Enel Green Power overseas with the construction of a smart micro grid in Chile, Nidec ASI has extensive experience in the field and has grown to become one of the market’s leading innovators and players.

More than 500 MW installed

At Energy Storage Europe 2016, Nidec ASI is speaking on how BESS technology is helping transmission system operators (TSOs) stabilize the grid. At Nidec ASI’s booth (CSC 12), visitors will be able to learn about how its BESS projects are contributing to broadening energy access for remote communities and stabilizing the frequency of municipal grids across the globe.

With an installed base of more than 500 MW, Nidec ASI offers competitive, high-performance solutions that can be easily tailored to meet diverse grid requirements. The enterprise’s Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) services and turn-key projects range from large-scale solar power stations to smart micro grids, both grid-tied and off-grid.

As of 2015, Nidec ASI has a portfolio of orders worth about 400 million Euro, with an installed base on more than four continents. (HS)
