HOW IT WORKS

Due to the energy transition, more and more renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, is being connected to the grid. This is a fantastic development, but these new energy sources are less reliable than fossil fuels. When the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing, there is a shortage of energy supply. However, too much energy is often generated during the day, causing renewable energy to be traded at negative prices or even to be switched off and is lost.

To deal efficiently with renewable energy, these peak moments in supply and demand must be balanced. The grid is stabilised without the need for fossil fuels by charging a battery in periods of a supply surplus and discharging a battery in the event of an energy shortage.
