Free seminar on integrated electrical distribution for electromobility
October 6, 2023 The Center for Energy Transition of the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (CENTRA UAI) and the Chilean Association of Energy Marketers (ACEN) will hold a free seminar on “The Role of Electrical Distribution and Its Regulation in the Integration of Electromobility, Distributed Generation, and the Electrification of Energy Demand in Chile.” The event will take place in a…
Centra UAI and Cigre develop first seminar focused on the energy user
September 27, 2023 The innovative meeting will include debates on the global energy crisis, security, carbon neutrality and climate change. In an event that seeks to address the challenges related to the energy user, the Chilean Committee of the International Council of Large Electrical Grids (Cigre Chile) and the Energy Transition Center (CENTRA) of the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences of the Adolfo Ibáñez University, will…
Smart City Special
September 11, 2023 Experts agree that 5G has a great impact on Smart cities, revolutionizing their design and management. This trend offers a wide variety of capabilities, such as ultra-high bandwidth, low latency and speed in data transmission that contribute to cities with these types of characteristics. “5G allows data transmission speeds of up to one hundred times more than 4G in mobile phones,…
“It is up to us to take advantage of the opportunities of the energy transition”
August 29, 2023 The reference of the Center for Energy Transition (Chile), Carlos Silva, opened the streaming, “Vaca Muerta, nexus for Energy Integration” organized by Better Energy. He considered that gas and renewable energy are two priority sources of supply that would complement demand and supply on both sides of the Andes Mountains. “We have systems that have developed quite differently. For example, it…
Distributed Generation in Chile for global decarbonization
August 25, 2023 From the point of view of self-consumption, there is also evidence that the development of electricity supply systems with a high integration of generation and distributed storage can facilitate the electrification of transport and heating, which is crucial to achieve global decarbonization goals. It is difficult to conceive of a perspective from which a distributed energy supply system does not exceed…
Electric mobility could contribute 17% of Chile’s decarbonisation goal by 2050
August 25, 2023 Although 100% electric models have increased by 275% in three years, experts agree that it is urgent to advance in greater incentives, benefits and an ecosystem that allows the massification of electromobility throughout the national territory. It is estimated that today transport is responsible for 35% of energy consumption in our country. And of this segment, 86% corresponds to land transport….
Williams’ task 1 with lithium: accelerate the definition of strategic salt flats
August 18, 2023 Defining salt flats, ownership structure and recovering lost time are some of the challenges that the Secretary of State will have. While Liontown Resources identifies Argentina, China and Zimbabwe as the countries with the most lithium projects by 2026, Chile seems to be left out. The The responsibility, then, of the new Mining Minister, Aurora Williams, will be to speed up…
Sales of 100% electric vehicles continue to rise despite barriers still present
August 4, 2024 The segment recorded a 40.5% growth during the first half of the year. Experts analyze the various challenges to overcome for further development of electromobility in Chile. There are many examples of passing trends and fads. Electromobility, however, seeks to establish a solid foundation and expand its presence in Chile, especially considering that by 2035, only zero-emission vehicles will be sold nationwide….
Transforming the energy future
July 25, 2023 The Role of Digitalization in the Evolution of Electrical Substations Today, “smart” energy networks demand higher levels of communication, making digitalization the next step in the evolution of electrical substations. This shift not only changes how we conceive electrical infrastructure, but also opens new possibilities for the energy sector, improving security, reliability, interoperability, and real-time performance. The implementation of digital substations is…
Experts point out the high cost of not having energy available
July 18, 2023 In an effort to clarify key questions regarding electricity supply availability in the context of climate change and growing energy demand, the discussion “Energy Security: What is the Cost?” was held as part of the lecture series organized by Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (UAI) and WEC Chile. Panelists: María Helena Lee, Head of the International Relations Office, Ministry of Energy Ernesto Huber, Executive…
