Evsy: Find all the charging points for electric cars in one App
January 16, 2024 Among the challenges of living in the city is how quickly we adopt new technologies. Electric cars are a reality, but their implementation is full of challenges for their full massification. In a new chapter of “Energía Infinita”, actress Leonor Varela presented us with Evsy, an application that has a map with all the charging points for electric vehicles in your…
Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (UAI) Participates in the Creation of the National Center for Advanced Decentralized Energy Solutions (SEDA)
January 7, 2024 Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (UAI), through its Energy Transition Center (CENTRA), has played an essential role in the creation and development of the innovative National Center for Advanced Decentralized Energy Solutions (SEDA). This initiative is a key component of the Chilean Ministry of Energy’s Energy Agenda 2022-2026, which aims to transform the energy sector into a catalyst for economic growth and a…

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…
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…
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…
Energy Transition
July 18, 2023 Column by Daniel Olivares, La Tercera The energy transition is above all a moral transition that is believed to take another 27 years worldwide. In Chile, the path will be full of adjustments in our regulation, which will gradually reflect a new balance between the principles of sustainability and resilience, and the principle of economic efficiency. Along these lines, the current energy…
Daniel Olivares, director of Centra UAI: «Mining is a necessary activity for the energy transition»
May 16, 2023 The academic and director of the Energy Transition Center (CENTRA) at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (UAI) emphasizes that fighting climate change requires solutions that will increase the demand for minerals, particularly copper, nickel, cobalt, and lithium. “When we talk about the energy transition, we are referring to the process of gradually replacing primary energy sources, which today are mainly fossil fuels,” explains Daniel…
