SMART BATTERY SOLUTIONS

SolarShift™

The Challenge

In the Netherlands, solar output peaks at midday, just when electricity prices crash. PV projects earn less, and new investments look unattractive.

The Solution

SolarShift™ flips the problem into profit. Excess daytime solar is stored in batteries and released in the evening when demand — and prices — are high. The result: restored profitability and stronger returns.

Benefits:

  • Profit from Price Spikes
    Store solar surplus at midday and sell during evening peaks.
  • Slash Curtailment
    Keep every kilowatt-hour productive, even during oversupply hours.
  • Restore Solar Profitability
    Align generation with market demand and boost PV returns.

Use Cases:

  • Large Rooftop Solar Plants
    Commercial and industrial rooftops with surplus generation.
  • Greenhouse PV
    Dutch horticulture operations managing PV peaks.
  • Industrial PV Installations
    Factories and processing plants seeking higher ROI.

ROI & Impact:

  • Payback in 3–5 Years
    Most projects recover investment within just a few years.
  • Up to 20% Revenue Boost
    Earn more by shifting solar production to high-price periods.
  • ~~500 Tons CO₂ Saved per MW
    Significant annual emissions reduction.

FleetCharge™

The Challenge

The rapid growth of electric mobility is putting pressure on fleet operators. Charging multiple vehicles at the same time can create peak load spikes, trigger main breaker trips, and even require costly grid upgrades. These challenges raise operational costs and threaten fleet readiness.

The Solution

FleetCharge™ combines smart charging controls with on-site battery storage. Vehicles are charged at night when electricity is cheap, while the battery supplies power during the day. This avoids peak loads, keeps demand within grid limits, and ensures reliable fleet operations without expensive reinforcements.

Benefits:

  • Charge Off-Peak
    Use cheap night-time electricity for cost-efficient charging.
  • Avoid Breaker Trips
    Cover daytime demand spikes without overloading the grid.
  • Fleet Always Ready
    Ensure vehicles are fully charged when needed, without delays.

Use Cases:

  • Logistics Fleets
    Large depots with trucks or vans requiring fast turnaround.
  • Corporate EV Pools
    Companies with employee or pool vehicles charging on-site.
  • Industrial Sites
    Factories operating EV forklifts and internal logistics vehicles.

ROI & Impact:

  • Payback in 3–5 Years
    Cost savings quickly offset investment.
  • Avoid €100k+ Grid Upgrades
    Eliminate the need for heavy connection reinforcement.
  • ~Smoother Electrification
    Scale EV adoption without stressing infrastructure.

  • Commissioning - Testing, optimization, integration with EMS
  • O&M - Monitoring, preventive maintenance, 24/7 service

FlexUp™

The Challenge

The Dutch balancing market is shifting towards faster, more dynamic services. While mFRR participation is common, aFRR offers significantly higher revenues. Yet many operators cannot meet the sub-second response times required for aFRR, leaving valuable opportunities untapped.

The Solution

FlexUp™ integrates battery storage with existing or new gas engines. The battery provides instant fast response, while the gas engine sustains output for the full duration of the market call. This hybrid approach enables market entry without replacing assets — unlocking higher ancillary service revenues with minimal extra investment.

Benefits:

  • Faster Market Access
    Meet sub-second response times required for aFRR.
  • Higher Revenues
    Upgrade from mFRR to aFRR and capture more value.
  • Leverage Existing Assets
    Combine batteries with current gas engines, no need for full replacement.

Use Cases:

  • Industrial Cogeneration
    CHP operators seeking additional market revenues.
  • Greenhouses with WKK
    Facilities combining heat, power, and flexibility markets.
  • IPP & Utility Assets
    Flexible generation operators entering aFRR markets.

ROI & Impact:

  • Minimal Extra Investment
    Hybridization costs far less than full asset replacement.
  • Revenue Uplift Potential
    aFRR pays significantly more than mFRR participation.
  • ~Future-Proof Operations
    Comply with evolving market requirements and grid needs.

  • Commissioning - Market testing, optimization, aggregator setup
  • O&M - Monitoring, predictive maintenance, 24/7 support

GridFree™

The Challenge

Across the Netherlands, businesses face connection limits that block growth. Adding new machinery, installing heat pumps, or charging EV fleets can push demand beyond contracted grid capacity. Requesting a heavier grid connection often means high costs and years of waiting.

The Solution

GridFree™ removes the need for reinforcement. A business battery absorbs peak loads and keeps your demand within existing grid limits. This enables you to expand operations, add new electrical loads, and manage energy efficiently — all without costly or delayed grid upgrades.

Benefits:

  • Avoid Costly Upgrades
    Eliminate the need for expensive and slow grid reinforcement.
  • Absorb Peak Loads
    Prevent main breaker trips by covering demand spikes with stored energy.
  • Enable Growth
    Add equipment, EV chargers, or heat pumps without increasing grid capacity.

Use Cases:

  • Industrial Facilities
    Manufacturers needing more power without grid delays.
  • Greenhouses
    Horticulture sites expanding with electrified heating and cooling.
  • Logistics Hubs & EV Depots
    Warehouses and fleet operators charging multiple vehicles.
  • Cold Storage & Data Centers
    Sites with high, fluctuating electricity demand.

ROI & Impact:

  • Payback in 3–6 Years
    Faster return compared to grid reinforcement timelines.
  • €100k–€500k+ Savings
    Avoid major reinforcement and connection fees.
  • Supports Electrification
    Grow sustainably without overloading the grid.

Grid Constraints in the Netherlands

Power Consumption (Demand Side)

Network congestion in the Netherlands limits the available capacity for electricity consumption. As a result, many businesses face difficulties when trying to expand their energy use, as the grid cannot always provide additional power.

Power Feed-in (Supply Side)

Congestion also restricts the ability to feed electricity back into the grid. In certain regions, there is insufficient grid capacity to accept the electricity generated by solar panels, CHP units, or other renewable sources. This bottleneck slows down the growth of sustainable energy projects.

How GridFree™ Helps

GridFree™ directly addresses these challenges by using on-site battery systems to absorb peaks in both consumption and production. This reduces dependency on grid reinforcements, avoids costly delays, and allows businesses to unlock growth opportunities despite congestion limitations.
