BHive X validates an intelligent aggregation platform for second-life batteries
BeePlanet Factory, in partnership with the Navarre Industry Association (AIN), has completed the BHive X project, with technical and financial results confirming the robustness of the developed platform. The initiative, aimed at transforming stationary energy storage systems using second-life batteries into a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), has surpassed its key milestones and is now ready to operate under the demands of the Spanish electrical system.
Proven economic efficiency

One of the most significant breakthroughs in this phase has been the validation of the new facility-level energy management optimizer. Comparative analyses conducted on a standard BeePlanet installation demonstrate that the developed strategy reduces energy costs compared to conventional management approaches. These results, based on real-world data, allow us to estimate the economic value that BHive X can provide to industrial companies that incorporate storage into their facilities.

Robust communications and high availability

The developed communications architecture, based on MQTT protocols and a cloud control API, has passed real-world client testing, ensuring link availability of over 95% at the aggregation node. This level of availability is a necessary condition for meeting the real-time requirements demanded by power system control centers.

Inteligencia para la predicción energética

Se analizan varios modelos regresivos como XGB, Random Forest o redes neuronales y se aplica el que mejor resultados tiene para cada instalación, demostrando la capacidad de predecir el consumo y la generación renovable con una resolución operativa de 15 minutos. Esta capacidad predictiva permite optimizar los ciclos de carga y descarga de las baterías en función de las condiciones del mercado, mejorando tanto el rendimiento económico como la utilidad de red de los sistemas

Industrial-grade cybersecurity

The platform incorporates a Zero Trust architecture implemented via mTLS and X.509 digital certificates, ensuring that 100% of communications are encrypted using TLS protocols. This security layer eliminates the risk of identity spoofing in remote battery control, a critical requirement for operating distributed assets in the electricity market.
