newable energy sources

Today's energy challenges

As the global need for electricity increases, so does the expectation for clean, reliable

power. Utilities are under pressure from both governments and the public to reduce C02

emissions by integrating renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, into the

grid. One of the major challenges is that renewable energy production can be

unpredictable, making network operators hesitant to become dependent on elements

they cannot control.

In parallel, networks are ageing and more decentralized, becoming less efficient and

more congested as the quantity of energy circulating on the lines increases with the

energy demand. Both TSOs and DSOs need innovative ways of improving the grid's

flexibility, reliability and efficiency.

Our solution

Alstom has developped a complete and

smart battery storage solution,

MaxSine™ eStorage, based on years of

power electronics and AC substation

experience, as a competitive answer to

recent grid challenges. MaxSine™

eStorage solution helps customers tackle

issues such as load shifting and leveling,

renewable capacity firming and ancillary

services.

Specifically, MaxSine™ eStorage is a

power conversion solution with power

electronics and real-time control software

that interfaces batteries to the electrical

network. It thus controls the stored

power, optimising the charge or

discharge of the batteries according to

electrical grid needs.

Energy storage will give operators the

ability to 'save' electricity for future use.

This energy can then be made available

in seconds to handle peak loads, meet

seasonal requirements or be traded in

energy markets, all essential to Smart

Grid and Supergrid development.
