HERENTALS
The need
The client wanted to maximize the use of locally generated solar energy and reduce grid dependency by storing excess PV production.
The solution
A 100 kW / 211 kWh Gotion battery is installed as a pilot project. It stores surplus solar energy for later use and can also sell energy to the grid when electricity prices are high.
The result
The pilot will demonstrate the potential for increased self-consumption, reduced grid dependency and improved financial returns for the customer.
HARELBEKE
The need
In anticipation of the construction of a new logistics center, a large C&I battery needed to be installed on-site. The goal is to use the large-scale battery to generate revenue through participation in flexible energy markets.
The solution
A 500 kW/ 1,290 kWh containerized BESS is installed in Harelbeke. The battery will participate in markets such as FCR and aFRR, with the EMS managing charging and discharging based on market signals.
The result
The battery can be commercially operated during the period before the logistics center is built, generating revenue through participation in FCR and aFRR markets while providing flexibility to the electricity grid.
ROESELARE
Four new Risen C&I batteries were placed with a combined nominal power of 500 kVA and a capacity of 1 MWh. This system will be responsible for storing excess production from the solar installation and discharging for later use based on self-consumption or peak shaving.
The EMS will make sure that all energy flows for both produced and stored energy stay in balance and are optimally utilized.
Highlights:
- This is our first liquid cooled battery system from Risen
- Expandable power and capacity due to master-slave setup (1 master and 3 slave cabinets) working as one unified system regardless of the number of modules.
- Controlled by BeLoaded EMS
ZANDHOVEN
For our project in Zandhoven, the primary objective is to achieve full PV self-sufficiency to optimize energy usage during the period from March to September. With a 115 kWp solar installation and a 215 kWh modular ZBox200 battery energy storage system (BESS), all excess energy production is stored in the battery for use during periods when solar generation is insufficient. In addition, the three EV chargers on site are dynamically load-balanced by the EMS to ensure efficient energy distribution.
BEVEREN
For this project, three BESS systems are deployed with a combined power of 1.2 MW and a total capacity of 2.58 MWh. The systems are used partly for energy trading via an aggregator, and partly to maximize PV self-consumption from the 436 kWp installation while performing dynamic load balancing for 36 EV charging points (11 kW each).
The main goal of the EMS is to manage the site’s consumption in the most financially optimized way, while ensuring the operational integrity of the site.
ANDERLECHT
For this project, three large BESS systems are installed with a combined power of 1.5 MW and a total capacity of 3.87 MWh. Currently, these systems are used exclusively for energy trading via an aggregator, aiming to maximize financial returns and minimize the investment payback period.
In the long term, the site is planned to be expanded with a 600 kWp PV installation and more than 60 AC and DC charging points. The objective is to maximize self-consumption of locally generated solar energy for the charging infrastructure, while the EMS is configured to reduce the capacity tariff.
ANTWERP
The need
A logistic customer in the harbor of Antwerp does not receive enough capacity from the grid to electrify the operations to electrical trucks.
The solution
By installing a 500KW/1MWh battery, there is no injection of own produced energy anymore and electricity is bought at the lowest rate of the market.
The result
The total available capacity increased from 90KW to almost 600KW.
RESOLVE
This underground parking complex in the north of Brussels accommodates 112 charging points (22kW each), all dynamically balanced by a central EMS system. Effective energy management of these chargers is critical to stay within contractual limits and infrastructural constraints.
PUURS
A BESS with a total power of 62.5 kW and 215 kWh capacity is used to load balance the AC and DC chargers with a combined capacity of 120 kW at this site. An energy arbitration strategy is applied to charge the battery at the lowest possible cost or when excess PV production is available, maximizing the profitability of EV charging sessions. Because the import limits are significantly lower than the maximum power of the DC charger, i.e. 69kW, the battery is used to boost the available capacity, enabling higher charging speeds while ensuring that contractual limits are not exceeded.
TURNHOUT
The installation, previously configured for a 100% connection to unbalance market, is not achieving the expected financial returns.
BeLoaded took over the responsibility of the total installation, migrated the EMS system to primary focus on self consumption and DC loadbalancing to minimise peaks, lower contracted volumes, realised the regularisation of the battery to fire-police and netmanager telecontrol. BeLoaded is now executing the daily followup for maximum financial return.
