GPM and Centra UAI held a seminar to address storage challenges
December 5, 2023 Seminar “Deciphering Storage Challenges for the Future of the Energy Matrix” Addresses Key Issues in Energy Transition To tackle the challenges of energy storage and its potential impact on the electrical system, the Association of Small and Medium Generators (GPM-AG) and the Energy Transition Center (CENTRA) at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (UAI) organized the seminar “Deciphering Storage Challenges for the Future of the…
Future of Electricity Distribution
December 5, 2023 The Crucial Role of Electrical Distribution in the Energy Transition Electrical distribution plays a key role in the transition to a more sustainable and renewable-based energy system. Distribution networks are responsible for delivering electricity from generation plants to end users. In this new context, infrastructure must adapt to electrification demands and the increasing share of clean energy production. This shift requires: Efficient…

Electrical distribution and its regulation: keys to electromobility and distributed generation
October 18, 2023 “WE CANNOT ADDRESS DISTRIBUTION REFORM WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS A MARKET TRANSFORMATION” Recent studies in Chile show that around 6 GW netbilling-type generation projects, without storage, could be integrated into distribution networks, which is equivalent to 50% of the maximum demand of the National Electric System (SEN). On the other hand, 426,000 new cars were sold in the country last…
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…
