Japanese technology company NEC has been contracted by Italian utility Acea to develop a lithium-ion energy storage solution to be implemented at substations around Rome.
NEC will deliver two units with capacities of 180kW and 100kW, which should improve the quality of supply, reduce energy losses and aid the integration of renewables.
The systems are expected to be operational by September 2013.
This marks the beginning of a partnership that will develop a smart grid in Italy?s capital city.
Ugo Govigli, vice president, smart grid solutions, NEC Europe, said, ?NEC is proud to partner with a visionary company like Acea, who understands the importance of Smart Grids for successfully meeting the demands of utility companies as well as reducing environmental burdens.
?These ESS were designed entirely by the NEC EMEA Energy competence center which was established in Italy in 2011. We expect these developments to pave the way into new energy market segments throughout EMEA.?
Marco Staderini, CEO of Acea, added, ?This is an exciting step forward for Smart Grid design, especially in consideration of the complex energy distribution network of the Rome metropolitan area.
?Our company is fully committed to maintaining and improving the superior quality of its electric power services. For this reason, we are working with highly qualified partners like NEC, who is able to meet our requirements for the Smart Grid project from both energy and ICT perspectives.?
