Hybrid Energy Storage for Cogeneration or Fuel Replacement Applications in Microgrids Scenarios
To achieve a 100% renewable energy microgrid, the hybridization of technologies is essential to ensure a reliable, resilient and consistent energy supply. Diesel generation is often utilized as the emergency back-up supply to a micro or minigrid system, but the use of fossil fuels has a harmful impact on the environment and on the health of those using the system, furthermore, with increasing and unpredictable fuels costs, it can also substantially increase the cost of electricity of the solution.
Integrating energy storage with new and/or existing fuel generators can dramatically improve their speed and flexibility, resulting in improved efficiencies and lower emissions.
HESStec's hybrid approach enables a flexible power and energy storage response for fast response and high peaks of consumption (power), as well as a long-duration response (energy) with high scalability and configuration ratio (in terms of kW and kWh of different types of storage technologies).
This session will examine two main use cases for hybrid energy storage. The first is a stationary energy storage application for isolated scenarios, operating as a diesel fuel support unit (even as a replacement), for instance, in Base Transceiver Stations or isolated rural communities. The other use case is as a ready-to-go solution, supporting grid supply in emergency situations, such as natural disasters. Flexibility, modularity, transportability, easy integration, and a multi-service approach, are just a few of the features of hybrid energy storage solutions for cogeneration or replacement applications in microgrids scenarios.

Eugenio Dominguez Amarillo
CEO
Hybrid Energy Storage Solutions (HESStec)
Eugenio Dominguez Amarillo was born in 1976 and studied telecommunications engineering at the University of Seville. His main research topic and expertise are focused on has given a number of courses on the development of DSP and FPGA technology-based systems and the implementation of new systems of renewable energy at both a national and international level. His main research topics and his expertise are focused on power electronic topologies, control systems development and energy storage technologies, and he is the author of several patents focused on new applications and new concepts of energy storage technologies.
From 2005 to 2008 he was the managing director of the group's R+D laboratory, specializing in power electronics and renewable energy, and taking responsibility for a number of different projects.
As a natural born entrepreneur, he was involved on to five entrepreneurships providing his expertise on high performance control systems applied to different fields as energy, defense or biotech, and his clear view of the markets' trends.
From 2005 to 2008 he was the managing director of the Electronic Technology Group's R+D laboratory, specializing in power electronics and renewable energy, and taking responsibility for several different projects. In 2008 founded Wind Inertia and was its CEO/CTO until 2016. At Win Inertia he developed together with his technical team the Hybrid Energy Storage concept. A concept that at the time seemed not relevant or interesting by industry players but that lately is emerging as necessary to overcome all issues of integrating energy storage into the energy mix as discussed. In 2018 HESStec was set up by him and Win Inertia technical team.
