Redispatch: Smart Control for the Electricity Grid

Our electricity grid is becoming increasingly complex. With the growth of solar panels, wind turbines, and electric cars, the way we produce and use electricity is changing dramatically. Sometimes there is too much electricity in certain places, while elsewhere there is a shortage. The electricity grid can then become congested when too much electricity has to pass through certain cables.

Smart energy control starts with data, but ends with insight

At Covolt, we control renewable energy installations:
solar panels, batteries and soon charging stations. The goal is to get maximum
efficiency from energy. We do this with smart algorithms that run
in the cloud and communicate with local Electric Control Units (ECUs). These
ECUs run on site at the installation

Balancing services: aFRR - Crucial for a stable power grid

The energy transition is bringing big changes. One of the biggest challenges is keeping the power grid in balance. In the Netherlands, the Automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve (aFRR) plays an essential role in maintaining this balance. But what exactly is aFRR and why is it so important?
