MILAN, May 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
The leading industrial
solutions provider to supply multiple systems
of energy storage for a total capacity of 90
MW
Yesterday, Nidec ASI began construction of a 90-MW project for
German utility STEAG in Lünen, one of six sites to be installed in
North-Rhine-Westphalia and Saarland, two key regions of
Germany. Germany has heavily invested in renewable
energy sources during the last decade and now seeks to develop
alternative technologies for stabilization of the power grid.

This system, based on Nidec ASI's energy conversion solutions,
will use batteries supplied by LG Chem to store electrical energy,
which the utility giant will use to provide auxiliary services to
the TSO.
This major contract, awarded in November, confirms Nidec ASI's
growing expertise in the field. The multinational company-a pioneer
in the supply of Power Conversion Systems (PCS) for commercial- and
utility-scale energy storage plants-has grown to become one of the
market's leading players, offering Engineering, Procurement and
Construction (EPC) services for battery energy storage systems
(BESS), based on its proprietary inverters and smart microgrid
technology solutions to clients across the globe.
Nidec ASI's notable and increasing track record includes similar
projects completed for the French Islands-including La Réunion,
Corsica, and French Guiana-as well
as for Italy's Terna and Enel Green Power overseas, with the
construction of a smart micro grid in Chile.
Nidec ASI was renamed as such in 2012 when Nidec, a
Japanese multinational corporation listed on the Japanese Stock
Exchange, acquired Ansaldo Sistemi Industriali (ASI) SpA, an
Italian multinational that can trace its roots back to 1853. The
company is a provider of customized solutions for a range of
industrial applications worldwide. Operating from offices in
Italy, North America, France, Germany, Romania, the United
Arab Emirates, Southeast
Asia, Russia, China and Japan, its markets include petrochemical,
energy, steel, marine, and industrial automation. Nidec ASI
specializes in heavy-duty applications requiring high power and
performance, including inverter and converter power electronics,
industrial process control and automation, motors and
generators.
As of 2015, Nidec ASI has a portfolio of orders worth about
400 million Euro, with an installed
base on more than four continents.
