Demand response combination with energy storage system

About this project

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif">FuseBox OÜ is an Estonian company integrating consumers and energy systems to enable better integration of renewables. Project partner Pixii AS is a Norwegian company that designs and manufactures smart energy storage solutions that contribute to clean, cost-effective and reliable electricity. The aim of the bilateral partnership project is to develop, and test services and products related to energy storage and demand side flexibility, also to reduce whole energy sector carbon intensity while increasing the efficiency of energy system. This is achieved by combining demand response and energy storage to enable next-generation energy infrastructure instead of investing into existing infrastructure which was built to support centralised electricity generation. The project enables real-time communication between electricity consumers, energy storage and energy system to maximise the use of renewables and solve the issues related to variable generation.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif">Green ICT projects helps to combine FuseBox and Pixii knowledge, the result of which after the project final stage is to have the appropriate hardware and software combination to operate energy storage systems for various grid frequency services. FuseBox tasks are more connected with software development for the aggregation and optimisation of distributed flexibility resources, whereas Pixii develops the hardware and software for energy storage-based energy storage systems and local control. They will coordinate the development of the communication and control integration between the FuseBox virtual power plant platform and the Pixii energy storage controllers.</span></span></p>

Bilateral cooperation results

The partnership can be considered a success, Pixii carried out the planned activities, in addition, mutual cooperation continued through supporting the daily operation of controlled batteries, consulting on new objects and joint development of customer relations.
