Xiamen Ampace Technology Limited was named as finalist of the The smarter E AWARD 2025 in the Category "Oustanding Projects" for the application Chile's High-Voltage Substation Peak-Shaving Energy Storage Project.
This energy storage project, integrated into a high-voltage transformer station, is ensuring stable power grid operation in a region of Chile at risk from earthquakes. It integrates renewable energy, while also optimizing grid load management. Reducing power outages caused by grid fluctuations by around 80 percent has granted 200,000 inhabitants of the Andes region access to a considerably more stable electricity supply. This also reduces the demand for coal-fired power generation by around 12 GWh every year. Grid operators are seeing a reduction in costs for peak demand switch-off by 30 percent, which saves around 1.2 million US dollars a year in grid overheads. Seismic loads pose a particularly big challenge for this project. To withstand these conditions, simulation techniques for fatigue damage are used to predict and optimize resilience against smaller seismic events, resulting in performance deterioration of less than 10 percent over the entire life cycle.
