Knowledge Sharing

The energy market is complex and unfortunately not transparent. We at Covolt like to give you insight and share our knowledge through blogs and articles. We also regularly organise webinars and other meetings. In addition, we attend trade fairs and demonstrate our services at events throughout Europe. 

Explanation of important topics

A Virtual Power Plant is a virtual environment in which sustainably generated energy is managed.

An energy management system (EMS) is the foundation for our customers' Virtual Power Plant. With this system, all plants are linked and managed.

Thanks to our algorithms, based on metrological data and others, we can predict returns. We monitor any imbalance in the market and are on the alert for negative energy prices. We act on this proactively.

An imbalance in the power grid creates a shortage or, on the contrary, an excess of power on the grid. This can be remedied by flexible power management.

The energy transition gets an extra speed and dimension with the addition of energy storage. With that, we increase monthly revenue by intelligently and tactically deploying an energy storage battery.

Proper maintenance and 24/7 monitoring result in maximum efficiency of renewable energy installations. Using state of the art satellite data, 4G connectivity and smart links to renewable energy installations, we ensure 99% uptime. Anytime and
anywhere.

The demand for energy may be higher in certain areas than elsewhere. The moment there is too much demand for energy in a certain area, the grid can become overloaded. With congestion management, space on the power grid is better distributed, preventing overloading.

Due to the increasing demand for renewable energy, GvOs are becoming increasingly valuable. A GvO is a certificate, which we are authorised to trade as a certified trader. By using real-time data and analysis, the optimal investment is calculated for a GvO.

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?
