Context

In collaboration with Ansasol, from BeePlanet Factory we have implemented our BCube® energy storage system in its photovoltaic plant located in Guillena, Seville. This project has made it possible to maximize revenues from the sale of energy on the electricity grid, ensuring strategic management of solar production throughout the day. With a 20-foot container with a storage capacity of 1,190 kWh, Ansasol can now store energy at times of low demand and release it when prices are more profitable.

Challenge: Optimize the sale of energy to the grid

One of the main challenges of photovoltaic plants is the sale of the energy produced to the electricity grid in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible. Since the price of electricity varies throughout the day, plants without a storage system must discharge their production in real time, which often means selling at low prices. In addition, at times of high renewable generation, the system operator can apply “curtailment” (mandatory reduction in production) to avoid overloads on the grid, further limiting economic use.

The main problems that Ansasol asked us to solve were:

• Intermittency of renewable energy: The variable nature of solar production hinders grid stability, increasing uncertainty in the electricity supply. ‍
• Energy price variability: Without a storage system, the plant was forced to sell its production at the time of generation, without the possibility of choosing the most profitable periods.‍
• Economic maximization: At times of high renewable generation and low demand, the forced reduction in production prevented maximizing revenues.

Solution: Integration of a 20" bCube® system

To meet the specific needs of Ansasol, from BeePlanet Factory we design and manufacture a completely customized storage system. A bCube® of 20 feet with 1,190 kWh of capacity. A modular and scalable system that not only allows solar energy to be managed more efficiently and flexibly, but can also be adapted to future expansions.

The system allows:

📌 Energy Arbitration: The bCube® facilitates the purchase and sale of electricity at the most profitable times from an economic point of view, maximizing the value of the electricity produced and optimizing plant revenues.

📌 Real-time regulation: Adjust energy injection into the grid according to market conditions, improving grid stability and benefiting from specific energy markets that reward these capacities.

‍

In addition to these economic and operational benefits, energy storage contributes to a cleaner and more efficient energy:

📌Lower CO₂ emissions: By storing renewable energy, the use of fossil fuels is reduced, contributing to the decarbonization of the electricity grid.

📌 Stabilization of the electrical grid: It helps stabilize the grid and prevents blackouts or interruptions, especially in less robust electrical systems. This translates into a safe and flexible supply of energy.

📌 Higher energy efficiency: If maximizes the use of natural resources, avoiding waste.
