Interesting update from our portfolio company Eddy Grid! #impact #innovation #investing #solarenergy
⛱️ Eddy Grid heeft de afgelopen maand zonnepanelen van The Green Box aangestuurd. Dit betekent dat de productie van de panelen werd bijgestuurd aan de hand van de marktprijzen. Als de energieprijzen negatief zijn, worden de omvormers uitgeschakeld. 🟩 The Green Box beschikt over een eigen 10kV net met GDS-ontheffing, een zonnepark van meer dan 18.000 zonnepanelen, en heeft Eddy Grid één deel van de zonnevelden met een vermogen van 88 kWp toegewezen als proeftuin. Dit bood ons de kans om Eddy Grid’s Solar Curtailment-product in de praktijk te testen en gaf The Green Box de mogelijkheid om de specifieke effecten op het lokale netwerk te onderzoeken. Een geweldige samenwerking met een echte can-do mentaliteit, passend bij bedrijven die (snelle) innovatie hoog in het vaandel hebben staan. Tijdens de pilot hebben we de volgende punten onderzocht: 1️⃣ ⚒️ Zelf-Installatie: Het installeren van de hardware die communiceert met de omvormers. Dag-tot-dag planning van start tot livegang: Dag 1: Opstellen benodigdheden hardware. Dag 2: Versturen hardware. Dag 3: Ontvangst hardware door The Green Box. Dag 4: Zelfinstallatie. Door ontbrekende inloggegevens van de Huawei omvormers kon deze niet voltooid worden. De hardware werd wel op afstand herkend. Dag 9: Succesvolle zelfinstallatie. Dag 10: Succesvolle Site Acceptance Test (SAT). Vanaf dit moment stuurt Eddy Grid de zonnepanelen aan. Conclusie: Binnen 2 weken kan een installatie van A-Z plaatsvinden. 2️⃣ 🌅 Curtailment op EPEX Day Ahead prijzen: Zet de zonnepanelen uit tijdens uren met negatieve Day-Ahead prijzen. Conclusie: De omvormers werden op de juiste momenten uitgeschakeld. We hebben 7.3% van de tijd de panelen uitgezet, waarmee per MWp-maand* €564 bespaard werd. 3️⃣ ⚖️ Curtailment op onbalansprijzen: Zet de zonnepanelen uit tijdens kwartieren met negatieve onbalansprijzen voor export. In regeltoestand 2 zijn de prijzen voor import en export ongelijk, wat het cruciaal maakt om de exportprijs goed te voorspellen. Conclusie: De omvormers werden op de juiste momenten uitgeschakeld. We hebben 16.7% van de tijd de panelen uitgezet, waarmee per MWp-maand* €1772 bespaard werd. 🔋 Vervolgstappen: De pilot bij The Green Box is nog niet afgelopen. We gaan door en The Green Box zal in samenwerking met Skoon Energy en Eddy Grid een batterij(hub) toe gaan voegen aan het netwerk. Hiermee kunnen we nieuwe strategieën live testen en kan The Green Box het effect hiervan op haar Gesloten Distributie Systeem (GDS) onderzoeken. 💰 Zie jij, net zoals The Green Box, ook steeds vaker dat je betaalt voor je zonneveld in plaats van dat je betaald krijgt voor je opgewekte energie? Neem dan contact met ons op. Bij Eddy Grid zorgen we ervoor dat je niet met onnodige kosten wordt opgezadeld. We zijn enthousiast over de samenwerking met The Green Box en kijken uit naar de volgende stappen. Samen zorgen we voor duurzame, kosten-effectieve en innovatieve energieoplossingen.
