Network optimization at an oil producer in De Waal

This producer of vegetable and marine oils was struggling with recurring spikes in electricity consumption, particularly during production peaks. As a result, the contracted capacity was regularly exceeded, leading to additional costs. At the same time, solar energy was often fed back into the grid at low rates. Thanks to the use of a BOLT-215 battery, power is now intelligently stored and utilized at exactly the right moments—for internal consumption or for sale on the market.

These are the results so far

  • Consumption peaks automatically smoothed out
  • Contracted capacity is no longer exceeded
  • Solar energy stored locally and used to its full potential
  • Additional revenue from the imbalance and EPEX markets

Here's how the process went

1

INSIGHT INTO CONSUMPTION

We analyzed when the peaks occurred and how this related to generation and consumption.

  • Clear data as a foundation
2

INVESTMENT ADVICE

Using our simulation model, we calculated the impact of battery storage and market-based mechanisms.

  • Estimated annual value between €15,000 and €20,000
3

INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION

The battery was installed without disrupting production and integrated into the existing infrastructure.

  • Smart energy storage without modifying systems
4

REAL-TIME MONITORING

Through the BBox software, customers have real-time insight into their consumption, storage, generation, and trading.

  • Full control and a new source of revenue

We resolved these issues for the customer

The oil producer operates using high-powered equipment that requires a large amount of energy for short periods of time. This resulted in frequent spikes that exceeded the contracted capacity, leading to high costs.

In addition, excess solar energy was routinely fed back into the grid without generating any real return. This energy now goes to the battery first, where it is used strategically: for personal use or when market prices are at their highest.

Customer review

“The battery adapts to our production. We’re saving on peak-hour costs and now getting much more out of our solar energy.”

Producer of vegetable oils

REGULAR SPIKES CAUSED BY EQUIPMENT

At critical moments, the production facilities required an extremely high amount of power. These peaks caused the contracted capacity to be exceeded.

The battery now kicks in automatically to prevent the spikes from overloading the grid.

SOLAR ENERGY: UNUTILIZED AND UNDERVALUED

The electricity generated was fed back into the grid immediately at low rates, resulting in virtually no revenue.

With storage, this energy is only used when it is needed internally or when the market price is favorable.

DEFERRED REVENUE FROM THE ENERGY MARKET

The customer did not capitalize on price fluctuations in the energy market, thereby missing out on recurring revenue.

Thanks to the BBox, trading now takes place automatically on the imbalance and EPEX markets—without any extra effort on the customer’s part.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find your question here? Please contact us.

How does battery storage work in combination with solar panels or wind energy?

Our battery stores excess energy locally whenever more energy is generated than is consumed. This energy is then automatically used during periods of higher demand or when market prices are favorable.

Can I make money through energy trading?

Yes. Stored energy can be sold intelligently through the imbalance and EPEX markets. Our software (BBox) automatically manages this process, allowing you to benefit from price fluctuations without having to lift a finger.

How much maintenance does the system require?

Virtually none. Our systems are monitored and controlled remotely. Any necessary maintenance is flagged in advance. This means you get maximum efficiency with minimal effort.
