    From March 15 to 17, Nidec ASI will be presenting its latest technologies for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) at the fifth edition of the annual Energy Storage Europe trade show in Düsseldorf, Germany. The energy storage sector, which has seen significant growth in recent years, continues to be a key market for Nidec ASI, constituting 20% of its business in Fiscal Year 2015.

    The industrial solutions provider also seeks an entry into the North American market with the construction of a UL-certified 1500V drive and its recent appointment of Sales Director Matteo Rizzi to focus on BESS and PV projects. Nidec ASI provides a total of 603 MW of turnkey solutions—such as PV, micro grid and BESS projects—to 15 countries across the globe, including Germany, France, Italy, Romania, Greece, Brazil, India, Algeria, Morocco, Chile, the Dominican Republic, French Guiana, Réunion, and the Maldives.

    “Energy storage is a highly strategic sector for Nidec ASI,” said Giovanni Barra, CEO of Nidec ASI. “With our innovative Power Management System, first-class room-saving packaging solutions and installment of well above 100 MW of battery energy projects alone, Nidec ASI is a key player in the storage of Energy and Power Stabilization. Our presence at Energy Storage Europe is an excellent opportunity for us to forge new relationships with both local and continental energy players.”

    At the end of 2015, Nidec ASI landed a 70 million Euro EPC contract with German utility STEAG for the supply of multiple systems of energy storage for a total capacity of 90 MW. The awarding of this project confirmed the company’s growing expertise in the utility-scale sector, particularly in the past few years. Boasting an excellent track record with similar projects for the French Islands—including La Réunion, Corsica, and French Guiana—and also supporting Italy’s Terna and Enel Green Power overseas with the construction of a smart micro grid in Chile, Nidec ASI has extensive experience in the field and has grown to become one of the market’s leading innovators and players.
