A Strategic R&D Collaboration for Sustainable Energy

BeePlanet Factory and IGNIS have joined forces to develop an innovative energy storage R&D project in Lekunberri, Navarra, as part of the ACADIEMS (Ahead of Current Development In Energy Management Systems) program. This collaborative initiative involves companies, SMEs, and research centers and is funded by the Government of Navarra under the 2021–2025 Strategic Projects call.

Intelligent Energy Management with Circular Economy Principles

The main goal of the project is to design and validate an intelligent energy management system for generation, storage, and demand of renewable energy. Our solution, the BCube© system, is developed using second-life automotive batteries, supporting the circular economy while contributing to the stability of the electricity grid.

This 1 MW system is designed to test and validate secondary frequency regulation services for the Spanish peninsular grid, offering real-world proof of the efficiency of the ACADIEMS algorithms.

Proven Performance and Sustainable Design

IGNIS selected us as a technological partner for our reliable and efficient second-life battery systems, deeply embedded in Navarre's industrial ecosystem. The installed system includes a 20-foot container, 12 power cabinets, 1.8 MWh capacity, and 1 MW of power, all meeting high standards of safety and quality.

Supporting the Energy Transition and Emission Reduction

The project goes beyond energy storage—it's a model of sustainable innovation:

• Promotes the reuse of batteries and extends their lifecycle
• Optimizes the use of solar energy
• Uses industrial land close to the substation, minimizing infrastructure impact
• Supports waste reduction and resource efficiency
• Reinforces energy resilience and contributes to emissions reduction
• Fosters public-private collaboration and local industrial synergies
