OUR SOLUTION
“Converting existing or Implementing new Power Generation Plants to our green Hydrogen fuel”
The Water-Energy Group specializes in areas of our world that are completely dependent on the importation of fossil fuels for power production.
As the world market price steadily increases, the cost of fuel used and co-shipping costs have risen by 5000% in the last year. So we have witnessed basic fuel per cost kilowatt double and triple in some markets. This is not a sustainable model that will accommodate growth or help the people in these areas.
In most cases, the Water-Energy engineers can convert existing power generation units to our new green hydrogen fuel. We are presently involved in Hawaii, Mexico, Suriname, and some of the Island nations of the Caribbean.
Zero Emissions, Carbon-less Liquid Hydrogen Fuel (H2)
The ENERGY-ONE brand is a leader in green custom energy solutions. We are a team of engineers and designers who believe in sustainable living and clean power generation. Our products use only green fuel (H2) Hydrogen fuel, solar, or tidal. Our additional developed technology is to produce reliable electricity that is safe for the environment.
As governments and companies pledge to go carbon neutral in the coming decades, we will need more solar and wind power โ but we will also need to store that energy so it can be used when the sun isnโt
shining and the wind isnโt blowing.
In the future, weโll generate more of our electricity from zero-carbon solar energy sources and wind power, and weโll store that electricity near the source, near the industries and communities that use it, and everywhere in between. That clean energy will power our homes, businesses, cars and someday our aircraft โ which means weโll need more renewable production and storage capacity.
โThe BESS function as operating reserves that constantly work to manage frequency fluctuations on the grid, charging up during off-peak times and discharging when energy demand and electricity costs increase,โ Michael Upshaw, Water Energy Group SA global senior business development manager
for renewables and energy storage.
Why do we need energy storage?
Energy storage makes power from renewable sources dependable and available on demand. Wind turbines do not generate power when the weather is calm. Solar cells produce lots of zero-carbon electricity during the day when the sun is high, but unless those kilowatts are stored in a battery or other system, there is no way to use them when itโs dark.
In places such as California, where sunny days are plentiful and installed solar capacity is growing fast,
net power usage peaks in the morning before the sunโs rays hit the panels. It then dips all afternoon as clean solar energy flows into the power grid and peaks again in the early evening as the sky darkens.
Often called the duck curve, this pattern is getting more severe every year.
Many industrial and commercial businesses are installing battery energy storage systems (BESS) near their facilities to reduce their carbon footprints and provide backup emergency power sources.
A battery energy storage system can also help reduce electricity bills, by being charged when energy is cleaner and cheaper to generate and drawing on stored supply during peak demand, when itโs dirtier
and more expensive.
Some of the most energy-efficient and fully independent battery energy storage systems being built today are designed to fit inside shipping containers for commercial customers and utilities. The
containers house safety and security systems as well as cooling and operating software, maximizing renewable energy investments.
The software can help customers decide when to charge their batteries and when to sell energy back to the grid. For example, with the Encap Power Plant applicationโs live weather and energy pricing data,
industrial and commercial operations can reduce costs and guide the efficient use of renewable power.
Additionally, if a generator fails or goes offline for any reason, the BESS platform can reduce the need to immediately bring additional, non-renewable power generation online. In this scenario, a remote facility
can maintain operations as the platform runs in parallel with traditional generators.
How can energy storage systems make the grid more resilient?
In front of the meter, utilities use energy storage to relieve congestion on their generating plants and
aging grid infrastructure. Renewable energy, electric vehicles, and energy-efficient buildings place very complex demands on grids not built for many resources.
By using energy storage, utilities can balance grid loads and extend the lives of their infrastructures
while they upgrade for a distributed energy future.
Another key point: Micro-grids, whether for single facilities or whole communities shifting to renewable sources, also are employing energy storage to ensure reliable power. WEG’s Energy Control System works with energy storage to keep power usage from overwhelming micro-grids and to ensure that they
never lose power.
How will longer-lasting batteries boost renewable energy?
To make battery energy storage systems even more efficient, WEG is pioneering a new flow battery
technology using super capacitor technology that can store quickly and discharge electricity even longer
than commonly used lithium-ion batteries.
Super capacitor battery technology uses a safe, non-flammable electrolyte to store and discharge
electricity; lithium-ion batteries can only discharge for four hours. Designed with recyclable
components, these batteries do not degrade over time. They last longer than batteries that are widely
used today, providing cost-efficient, reliable power for up to 20 years.
Battery energy storage systems are critical for our transition to a sustainable, renewable future.
