Battery Energy Storage System and Power-to-Heat Hybrid Energy System: Demonstration of Synergy
This project delves into the development of a hybrid energy system (HES), consisting of power and heat (P2H) technologies, renewable energy source (RES), heat & energy storage solutions, and advanced controls. In general, such system can be referred to as HES. The aim of such systems is to create an energy infrastructure that's both innovative and sustainable, with a keen focus on reducing dependence on traditional power sources while providing such ancillary services as manual or automatic frequency restoration reserves (mFRR/aFRR) or flexibility services to maximize the return.
Prompted by the pressing challenges facing current energy systems, such as the intermittent nature of renewable energy and the demand for robust energy storage, our solar panels play a pivotal role. These panels capture sunlight, converting it into power for buildings and energy-intensive servers. Adding an extra layer of ingenuity, an underground heat reservoir not only cools servers but also transforms surplus heat into warm water, forming a closed-loop system for energy sustainability. The project introduces an intriguing aspect by utilizing a remote battery as a virtual power plant, offering flexibility in energy utilization, and overcoming geographical constraints.
Main Project Goal:
Our primary objective is to practically demonstrate the hybrid energy system's effectiveness through a series of well-thought-out tests. These tests serve to highlight the system's capabilities in addressing specific energy challenges, ultimately making energy consumption more sustainable, reliable, and cost-efficient.
In doing so, we aim to underscore the importance of intelligent energy use at the local level, explore strategies for cost savings, showcase how the system adapts to variations in solar power, and demonstrate its role in contributing to the stability of the broader electricity grid. Beyond proving the technology's functionality, our goal is to illustrate its economic feasibility and potential adaptability in diverse environments. Success in this venture holds the promise of reshaping perceptions and practices surrounding renewable energy, steering us towards a more environmentally conscious and resilient energy future.
The Demonstrations:
Local Consumption Maximization from PV Surplus Generational Consumption Maximization
Economic Efficiency Through Forecasted Energy Spot Price Arbitrage
Management of Hybrid Energy System’s Balance
Provision of Balancing Services
