Peak shaving for a food service supplier in North Holland

A foodservice wholesaler in North Holland was consistently struggling with energy management. Due to a combination of its own solar power, high peak loads, and a congested grid, the company was barely seeing any returns or control over its energy usage. With a smart battery solution, the company has now achieved both control and returns.

These are the results so far

  • Reducing grid load through peak shaving
  • Expected annual revenue of €15,000 to €20,000
  • Energy trading on EPEX and the imbalance market
  • Combining solar power and storage ensures maximum efficiency

Here's how the process went

1

INSIGHT INTO CONSUMPTION

We began with a comprehensive analysis of the energy consumption profile and solar power generation.

  • Clear data as a foundation
2

SIMULATION

Using simulations, we calculated the returns on various strategies.

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

INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION

The battery and BBox have been installed and connected to the existing system and solar panels.

  • Smart energy storage without modifying systems
4

REAL-TIME CONTROL & MONITORING

Customers can now see in real time how much is being saved and earned through the app.

  • Full control and a new source of revenue

We resolved these issues for the customer

The foodservice wholesaler in North Holland was consistently running into limitations in its energy management. Due to a combination of its own solar power, high peak loads, and a strained grid, there was virtually no efficiency or control.

By using a BOLT-215 battery and smart control via the BBox software, we have both reduced the grid load and created a new source of revenue through the energy market.

Customer review

“We used to see a lot of energy being wasted without generating any revenue, while our costs were rising. Now we’re operating much more efficiently and are even earning extra income through the energy market.”

POWER OUTAGE CAUSED BY VOLTAGE SPIKES

During peak periods with high cooling demand, power spikes would surge. The BOLT-215 battery is now automatically activated to smooth out those spikes, thereby reducing the load on the grid.

SOLAR ENERGY NOT BEING UTILIZED TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL

The solar power generated was often fed back into the grid during periods of low market prices. Thanks to the battery, this power is now stored and used later for personal consumption or trading.

MISSED OPPORTUNITIES IN THE ENERGY MARKET

No action was taken in response to price fluctuations in the energy market. Now, the BBox automatically trades on the EPEX and imbalance markets, allowing customers to actively contribute to grid balance and generate additional revenue.

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.
