Win Inertia (Hybrid Energy Storage Solution Ltd. Commercial Brand) is a technological solution provider, pioneer in creating hybrid energy storage solutions (HESS), optimized in economic terms, thanks to the integration of several energy storage technologies, enhanced power electronics and patented energy management algorithms in an exclusive, flexible hardware and software platform. Win Inertia develops enabling technologies that generate synergy between energy storage systems, power electronics and advanced energy management algorithms and controls. This creates a business model that enhances the applications and services offered by the storage systems, while also minimizing the footprint and the environmental impact. This specialization in energy enabling technologies is the key to offer cost-effective energy storage and smart grid solutions, that can be integrated at different levels of the electrical grid, providing a large portfolio of grid services Win Inertia's portfolio is focused on three main activities: 1) Hybrid technologies turnkey HESS solutions. The SHAD® solution is a Win Inertia’s patented proprietary technology, defined as Hybrid Energy Storage Solution (HESS) based on a flexible hardware and software platform. This enables a combination of multiple types of storage technologies (batteries, ultracapacitors, flywheels, fuel cells, etc.) optimized for specific customer uses at different levels of the electrical network, covering a myriad of grid applications. 2) Control systems to optimize and monetize the energy storage systems (EMS – Energy Management Systems and iNMS®) The Intelligent Node Management System (InMS) is a flexible hardware and embedded software platform that performs real-time management and control of power plants. The algorithms and models in the iNMS platform are crucial for increasing benefits. The iNMS provides an optimal dynamical operation of the system based on the state of the internal assets and analysis of the services that can be provided. The Energy Management System (EMS) is a flexible hardware and embedded software platform, embedded in a HESS solution, that performs real-time management and optimization of the energy storage systems integrated within the solution. 3) Turnkey consultancy services based on its sizing and optimizing tools, focused on the calculation of the optimal sizing and operation strategy for different scenarios, at the same time that generates the optimal business model.
