Power Electronics leads the energy storage market with a presence in more than 150 worldwide megaprojects

Power Electronics | August 27, 2021

The multinational Power Electronics continues to lead the global market for energy storage systems and is involved in more than 150 of the world's largest solar energy battery storage projects, creating 7 GW of storage. The most recent project to kick off was the plant in Florida which—with a total capacity of 900 MWh—is the largest solar-powered battery storage facility in the world to date.

In 2019, the United States consumed more renewable energy than coal for the first time since 1885. In 2020, this trend was reinforced by the impact of COVID-19, which led energy companies to buy less coal in favor or renewables. Power Electronics supports the country in its firm resolve to tilt the energy balance towards renewables and has become a benchmark thanks to a continued commitment to innovation in order to adapt to the needs of its customers and power grids.

This is why the company will participate in the largest renewable energy event in the United States, the Solar Power International conference and exhibition, which will be held in New Orleans (Louisiana), bringing together the major players in the sector.

Participation in the ACT Expo

Aside from energy storage systems, Power Electronics focuses its business on electric mobility. This is why it will also be at the ACT Expo, the most important electric mobility event in the United States, where it will exhibit its EV charging point solution, which is the most complete solution on the market due to its advanced features.

It's the only electric vehicle charging station on the market that integrates a transformer and medium-voltage cells into the same set of equipment—a turnkey, modular, flexible and extremely reliable solution for any scenario.

About Power Electronics
Power Electronics is the world's number one manufacturer of energy conversion systems for energy storage and the leading manufacturer of solar inverters for photovoltaic plants in the United States, Latin America, Australia, the United Kingdom and Spain. It is present in nearly 1,300 plants across 35 countries. It closed 2020 with 40 GW of AC power installed, which prevented the release of more than 56.3 million tons of CO2 into the environment.

Good Neighbors on the Grid: Large-Scale Solar, Utilities, and Customers

An energy system is, in some ways, like a neighborhood. Utilities and other distribution grid operators, DER operators, and end users all affect each other, directly and indirectly. Their differing agendas are, in many ways, complementary.

Nomad Transportable Power Systems Launches Portfolio of Mobile Energy Storage Systems

Nomad Transportable Power Systems Inc. | August 02, 2022

Nomad Transportable Power Systems (“NOMAD”), a company founded by U.S.-based battery manufacturer KORE Power, unveiled a portfolio of mobile energy storage systems (units); these mobile-focused, lithium-ion storage units can disrupt fossil-fuel dominated sectors by removing traditional barriers to energy storage adoption such as cost, siting, and installation.At a ribbon cutting event in Waterbury, Vt., Jay Bellows, CEO of NOMAD, hailed the arrival of mobile lithium-ion storage as a new opportunity to slash pollution and deliver reliability. Today, we are proud to announce a trio of NOMAD products to meet this demand; with these transportable power systems, which are made right here in Waterbury with KORE Power cells, we open the door to a new day in clean energy solutions, he said. NOMAD unveiled three units in the portfolio: The Traveler (2 MWh) The Voyager (1.3 MWh) The Rover (660 kwh) Today’s unveiling shows what is possible when you put the experience of 50 years of designing energy storage solutions towards tackling the challenges of today,” said Lindsay Gorrill, KORE Power CEO and Co-Founder. “The NOMAD is safe, efficient, plug-and-play energy that can be dispatched to wherever it is needed, for as long as it is need. NOMAD is a first mover in the utility, commercial and industrial-scale mobile energy storage sector and was founded to meet demands for a more flexible, transportable battery energy storage system. NOMAD’s business objective is to sell mobile energy storage systems and provide energy storage as a service. The units combine a fully enclosed trailer chassis with high energy density lithium-ion battery cells and a proprietary docking system to deliver a plug-and-play energy storage solution to their customers. NOMAD units combine the benefits of a fixed-site energy storage system that can be relocated, enabling a single Unit to serve multiple locations for seasonal, intermittent (outages) or temporary use (capital deferral), increasing asset utilization versus a fixed asset. The units have a wide range of use cases including power back-up and emergency response to peak demand management and seasonal load mitigation. Mari McClure, CEO of Green Mountain Power, which is NOMAD’s first customer, said GMP was immediately interested in the NOMAD portfolio when they learned it was in development. “At Green Mountain Power, we are always on the lookout for innovations that will help Vermonters and continue to build on the clean, reliable energy system we have here. Mobile storage will add to our fleet of existing storage, increasing resiliency as we address climate change, while also cutting costs and carbon for customers.” “We have communities across Vermont whose populations swell seasonally, so their electricity demand surges at very particular times. Having an energy product that we can dispatch to meet these seasonal spikes, will enable us to better ensure demand can be affordably met without straining the grid.” -Kerrick Johnson, Chief Innovation and Communications Officer with VELCO Vermont Rep. Peter Welch praised the Vermont team that built NOMAD, I am thrilled to join NOMAD and KORE for this ribbon cutting. This project is grounded in Vermont’s values: working hard to strengthen our communities, protecting our environment, and innovating right here in our state. I look forward to continuing to work with the incredible KORE Power and NOMAD teams to help them thrive as they develop solutions to our energy challenges.” NOMAD said it will be delivering 10 units by the end of 2022 and has a pipeline of additional interested customers. About Nomad Transportable Power Systems Inc. Nomad Transportable Power Systems, Inc. (“NOMAD”), is a Delaware-based company formed by KORE Power in 2020 to provide the energy industry with a standardized mobile energy storage platform. NOMAD is the first entrant into the mobile lithium-ion energy storage space and combines its patent-pending, over-the-road storage units with a standardized docking platform capable of interconnection with any distribution or transmission utility. The NOMAD system was designed from the onset to provide its customers all the benefits of fixed site energy storage, while eliminating both the capital commitments and long-term obligations that traditional energy storage requires.
