| We help mid-size balance groups to reduce their imbalance penalties, with zero investment, based on dynamic pricing and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity reservation through APIs. The stability of electricity grids & the security of energy supply depend on maintaining a permanent balance between generation and consumption. With the increasing integration of intermittent renewable energies, such as solar and wind, mid-size energy actors in CH and worldwide are facing growing challenges & huge financial penalties for the energy imbalances. Large-scale battery site is an ideal solution, but th mentioned actors lack financial or in-house technical capacity to own a site. Cloud for Energy Sector: Our solution addresses this problem by offering a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) solution, allowing the actors to reserve and obtain access to the battery capacities on-demand. The platform is composed of IoT field devices to interact with battery facilities, intelligent APIs for interaction with client and optimisation algorithms for capacity planning and pricing. Client can have access to batteries with zero initial investment to mitigate their imbalance penalties. | |||
