The A-CAES Advantage
How a rock, air, and water ‘battery’ is enabling grid decarbonisation at a gigantic scale.
Long-duration energy storage, or LDES, is crucial for achieving net-zero targets while mitigating the impacts of climate change.
To support reliable backup solutions, and in addition to batteries, which can only store power economically for 4-6 hours, longer duration technologies are essential.
Hydrostor’s compressed air storage technology bridges this gap, storing energy for 8 to 24+ hours, and shifting it to ensure that power is available during periods of low supply but high demand.

If we want to fight #ClimateChange, we need to decarbonize our energy systems. Let's join forces to transform grids to become net zero and autonomous. Exchange with the experts from Siemens at #EnlitEurope on how a #DigitalTwin of the electricity grid can support the #EnergyTransition! The best ideas grow from rich conversations! 👉 https://www.siemens.com/global/en/company/fairs-events/fairs/enlit-europe.html #smartinfrastructure #TransformTheEveryday
Distribution grids are at the center of the #EnergyTransition. At this year’s #EnlitEurope Siemens shows how innovative #GridSoftware helps to master the challenges of the #energytransition and achieve net-zero targets more quickly. With their next generation grid management software LV Insights X, grid operators can easily create a #digitaltwin of their distribution grids by leveraging existing data to increase usable grid capacity fast without extensive grid investments. Being fully flexible, interoperable and open, LV Insights X can also be seamlessly integrated into overarching distribution grid management systems - making grid management more future-proof than ever before.

The Azores, a volcanic archipelago 1,400 km from mainland Portugal, is populated with species found nowhere else in the world. Now, one of the biggest #EnergyStorage systems in Europe has been built on Terceira, one of the archipelago’s nine inhabited islands. It aims to power the islands with sustainable energy without harming nature. How can this small island show the way to #decarbonization? The #microgrid system by Siemens Infrastructure helps to significantly reduce its carbon footprint.

Meet Oktogrid — the company behind the solution that allows electricity providers to add a digital interface to any transformer in less than ten minutes. The method is 100% non-invasive and gives access to critical transformer and grid data, making it possible to monitor, forecast and react to local congestions and reduce cost of asset management. Transformers are key assets to maintain a reliable source of energy as well as a point of access for measuring grid behaviour; and they are becoming ageing bottlenecks for our grids. Paying close attention to the performance of transformers will not only prevent accidents - it will ensure higher reliability and safety of our electricity grid, extend the lifespan and capacity of existing assets, and reduce business risks. Curious to learn more? Oktogrid’s CEO Golam Sadeghnia will present the company’s solution at the Digitalisation / DATA Hub - Theatre 1 (Hall 7.2) at Enlit Europe 2023 on 29 November at 12:15.
