alternative energy specialists

Fancy a free solar thermal system? well look no further. We at AES are full of the Christmas spirit and for a limited time only any one that buys a Solar PV system or a Biomass boiler from us will get a free solar thermal system installed.

This offer is for a limited time only so contact us today for a quote!

Here at AES we provide a wide range of Alternative Energy from Biomass Boilers, Solar PV, Solar Thermal to Ground Source and Airsource Heat Pumps.

AES are the leading suppliers of alternative solutions. We provide residential and commercial properties with cost effective alternative energy products.

We supply the latest innovative biomass boilers, solar thermal and PV systems. Biomass boilers are an environmentally sound, heating solution. Burning biomass, such as wood pellets or logs, emits a similar amount of carbon dioxide as is absorbed by plants and trees. Biomass is therefore, the only real carbon-neutral energy.

Solar water heating systems use heat from the sun to warm domestic hot water. A normal boiler or immersion heater can be used to make the water hotter and to provide hot water when solar energy is not available.

Solar electricity systems capture the sun’s energy using photovoltaic (PV) cells. The cells convert the sunlight into electricity, which can be used to run household appliances and lighting. PV cells don’t need direct sunlight to work – you can still generate some electricity on a cloudy day

Our ground and air source heat pumps use latent energy in the ground or outside air. This provides low cost heating and hot water to virtually any type of property.

“On the basis of our experience I am very happy to recommend AES (Alternative Energy Specialists) to prospective customers. AES installed our solar photovoltaic system extremely efficiently. This coupled with very efficient administration and pleasant staff made dealing with this company a pleasure. – Sir Christopher Edwards”

150130-Watt Meter and Power Analyzer

150130-Watt Meter and Power Analyzer

Color :	Black
Size :	85 x 44 x 25mm

Measure EIGHT parameter, protecting electric power safety & performance. Use it to: prevent peak currents damaging batter, Motor control, motors, wiring and connectors; verify sufficient operating voltage under load; set cutoff voltages; check battery capacity & health; balance battery cell; confirm proper battery charger operation; detect receivers and actual operating current so as to make sure whether an UBEC is needed.

The measurement screen continuously displays Amps, Volts and Watts. All other measured values are presented sequentially, every two seconds, in the “Data-Queue” position of the display. Data values are identified by their units (Ah, Wh, Ap, Vm, Wp). All measurement screen values are updated every 0.4 seconds.

Energy storage on the grid to surpass $30 billion in annual market value by 2022 - Pike Research

Energy storage on the grid to surpass $30 billion in annualAmerica

(source: austinenergy)

Greentech Lead America: The market for energy storage on the grid, starting from a very low base in 2012, will surpass $30 billion in annual value by 2022m according to recent report from Pike Research.

The total capacity of ESG systems worldwide will reach almost 56,000 megawatts by 2022, the study said.

Advances in next-generation pumped storage, compressed air energy storage, and advanced batteries have multiplied the technology options available for energy storage on the grid (ESG), while, at the same time, the applications for ESG are also increasing.

 Rapidly changing energy mixes and increasingly volatile load profiles will challenge grid operators to deliver reliable and secure electricity, encouraging demand for ESG over the next decade, the report said.

"One of the key challenges for energy storage will be to deliver cost-effective solutions for these grid stability issues," said research analyst Anissa Dehamna. "Market structures still must catch up with the market to acknowledge the value of energy storage to grid operators and power consumers. At the same time, the industry must solve issues around business models and the supply chain in order to successfully scale up and fully commercialize these emerging technologies."

A key business model shift in the ESG market is increasing specialization, according to the report. Specifically, a significant number of recent strategic decisions and partnerships reflect a narrower market focus on the part of technology vendors.

Instead of targeting many different markets and countries, more and more vendors are targeting their sales efforts on one or two markets or applications, and are repositioning themselves in the energy storage supply chain, the report "Energy Storage on the Grid" said.

Alternative energy

 The term "alternative" presupposes a set of undesirable energy technologies against which "alternative energies" are contrasted. As such, the list of energy technologies excluded is an indicator of which problems the alternative technologies are intended to address. Controversies regarding dominant sources of energy and their alternatives have a long history. The nature of what was regarded alternative energy sources has changed considerably over time, and today, because of the variety of energy choices and differing goals of their advocates, defining some energy types as "alternative" is highly controversial. In a general sense in contemporary society, alternative energy is that which is produced without the undesirable consequences of the burning of fossil fuels, such as high carbon dioxide emissions, which is considered to be the major contributing factor of global warming according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Sometimes, this less comprehensive meaning of "alternative energy" excludes nuclear energy (e.g. as defined in the Michigan Next Energy Authority Act of 2002).[2] 

Historians of economies have studied the key transitions to alternative energies and regard the transitions as pivotal in bringing about significant economic change.[9][10][11] Prior to the shift to an alternative energy, supplies of the dominant energy type became erratic, accompanied by rapid increases in energy prices. [edit]Coal as an alternative to wood Historian Norman F. Cantor describes how in the late medieval period, coal was the new alternative fuel to save the society from overuse of the dominant fuel, wood: "Europeans had lived in the midst of vast forests throughout the earlier medieval centuries. After 1250 they became so skilled at deforestation that by 1500 AD they were running short of wood for heating and cooking... By 1500 Europe was on the edge of a fuel and nutritional disaster, [from] which it was saved in the sixteenth century only by the burning of soft coal and the cultivation of potatoes and maize. "[12] [edit]Petroleum as an alternative to whale oil Whale oil was the dominant form of lubrication and fuel for lamps in the early 19th century, but the depletion of the whale stocks by mid century caused whale oil prices to skyrocket setting the stage for the adoption of petroleum which was first commercialized in Pennsylvania in 1859.[13] [edit]Alcohol as an alternative to fossil fuels Main article: Ethanol fuel In 1917, Alexander Graham Bell advocated ethanol from corn, wheat and other foodstuffs as an alternative to coal and oil, stating that the world was in measurable distance of depleting these fuels. For Bell, the problem requiring an alternative was lack of renewability of orthodox energy sources.[14] Since the 1970s, Brazil has had an ethanol fuel program which has allowed the country to become the world's second largest producer of ethanol (after the United States) and the world's largest exporter.[15] Brazil’s ethanol fuel program uses modern equipment and cheap sugar cane as feedstock, and the residual cane-waste (bagasse) is used to process heat and power.[16] There are no longer light vehicles in Brazil running on pure gasoline. By the end of 2008 there were 35,000 filling stations throughout Brazil with at least one ethanol pump.[17] Cellulosic ethanol can be produced from a diverse array of feedstocks, and involves the use of the whole crop. This new approach should increase yields and reduce the carbon footprint because the amount of energy-intensive fertilizers and fungicides will remain the same, for a higher output of usable material.[18][19] As of 2008, there are nine commercial cellulosic ethanol plants which are either operating, or under construction, in the United States.[20] Second-generation biofuels technologies are able to manufacture biofuels from inedible biomass and could hence prevent conversion of food into fuel." [21] As of July 2010, there is one commercial second-generation (2G) ethanol plant Inbicon Biomass Refinery, which is operating in Denmark.[22]
