The specific objective of this project is the development of a high-speed response system for electrical installations that have a double connection, that is, systems in which there may be a main supply and a secondary reserve supply (be it another connection to the network, a diesel generator or genset, etc.). These networks, mainly of industrial origin, allow to have a backup power supply in case the electrical supply from the main network fails, keeping all the loads considered critical for the development of the installation activities (production processes, security systems, etc …), avoiding disconnection during the process of changing from one network to another, thus avoiding the significant costs involved in untimely shutdowns in certain industrial or service activities.
A grant has been received from the Agencia de Innovación y Desarrollo de Andalucía IDEA, of the Junta de Andalucía, for an amount of 105.358,13 euros, co-financed by 80% by the European Regional Development Fund, FEDER for the realization of the project ELECTRICAL SWITCHING SYSTEM WITH 0 SECOND RESPONSE (CER0) with the aim of Promoting technological development, innovation and quality research.
According to Spain’s Energy Storage Strategy, to achieve the objectives set out in the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and the Long-Term Decarbonisation Strategy, it
CEN Solutions’ role is focused on researching emerging flow batteries as an alternative to lithium batteries that currently lead the storage market. In addition to the above, CEN Solutions will develop a demonstrator that will allow the validation of the energy storage system.
CEN Solutions’ objective in this project consists in the investigation of the manufacturing processes of converters from the phase of collection of materials with the purpose of improving the productive processes. Likewise, it is also the responsibility of CEN Solutions to create a digital twin of the system.
