Hitachi ABB Power Grids Gives Battery Storage Space Tech to Thailand

• Switzerland-headquartered Hitachi ABB Power Grids Ltd. lately introduced its selection by Impact Solar Limited, a subsidiary of Impact Solar Group, to offer Battery Energy Storage space System (BESS) as well as regulates technology to a "smart industrial park" project in Thailand, which belongs of the nation's largest personal microgrid at Saha Industrial Park in Sriracha.

As soon as appointed, the park will certainly have a complete generation ability of 214 MW from a combination of co-generation gas turbines, rooftop solar, floating solar, and battery energy storage systems.

The advanced microgrid is digitally-enabled to integrate the power created from distributed energy sources (DERs), consisting of solar, and also simulates an utility range power system. Making use of real-time automation info, the microgrid will take care of and optimize the power output of DERs from across the entire industrial park. The microgrid likewise stabilizes energy changes arising from the recurring availability of sunshine and will certainly supply back-up power to the park's data centre and other lessees that depend on grid security for their companies.

Yep Min Teo, senior vice president, Asia Pacific, Hitachi ABB Power Grids, Grid Automation, states, "Hitachi ABB Power Grids' battery energy storage space system (BESS) is a critical part of Impact Solar Group's plans to establish a more sustainable as well as resilient industrial park."

Teo additionally includes that the model balances generation from various distributed energy sources, integrates in redundancy for future data center demand as well as lays the foundation for a peer-to-peer digital energy exchange system amongst the industrial park's consumers. He believes that the project is an archetype of the energy improvement underway across Thailand, as the nation establishes a new eco-friendly target of 30 percent of complete final energy intake by 2036 in its Alternative Energy Development Plan.

Mr. Vichai Kulsomphob, president and also Chief Executive Officer of Saha Pathana Inter-Holding Public Company Limited, really hopes that this project in Saha Group Industrial Park Sriracha will certainly be a model for the general public and also private sectors.

This project improves Hitachi ABB Power Grids' global Grid Edge Solutions footprint of greater than 500 MW as well as 200 referrals. The business' technology has enabled customers to create economic, social and also ecological value by opening new earnings streams, maximizing sustainable assimilation, and also lowering carbon exhausts.

In November last year, Hitachi ABB Power Grids India, Ashok Leyland and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M) revealed a partnership to run an electric bus (e-bus) pilot to support lasting in-campus commuting by IIT-M's students as well as staff.
