In recent years, Belgium has made solid progress in the field of energy transformation. According to a report released by the Belgian Energy Agency (BEA), the Belgian government has set a goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 40% by 2030 and is implementing various incentives. Measures to promote the use of renewable energy and the development of energy storage technologies.
Vigorously promote the use of renewable energy, while facing challenges such as grid fluctuations and negative electricity prices. To address these issues, a factory user in Belgium worked with SCU to introduce a 10ft containerized energy storage system to achieve grid-connected operation and peak load shifting, helping the factory achieve green and efficient energy management.
Belgian energy storage market: Challenges and opportunities for renewable energy
In recent years, Belgium has vigorously developed renewable energy such as wind and solar energy, but the volatility of these energy sources has brought new challenges to grid balancing and electricity management. Due to the instability of energy supply and the imbalance of electricity demand, the grid load fluctuates significantly and negative electricity prices occur from time to time.
The introduction of energy storage technology enables companies to store electricity during low periods and release it during peak periods. This not only smooths out power fluctuations but also helps companies reduce electricity costs while alleviating pressure on the power grid. The peak-shaving function of energy storage has therefore become a key tool in solving Belgium’s energy challenges.
10ft Containerized Battery Storage Solution
SCU provides a Belgian customer with a 10ft containerized battery storage designed specifically for the factory’s peak load shifting and valley filling needs. The system has the following features:
- Efficient grid connection: The system supports flexible connection with the power grid, storing electricity when the power grid electricity price is low and releasing electricity during peak hours, helping customers significantly reduce electricity costs.
- Peak shaving: Through precise energy management, energy storage systems can supply power to factories during peak hours, alleviating pressure on the grid while avoiding high electricity bills.
- Intelligent control: The SCU energy storage system is equipped with an intelligent energy management system (EMS), which can monitor electricity prices and factory electricity consumption in real-time and automatically adjust the charging and discharging strategies of the energy storage system to maximize benefits.
Energy storage empowers green factories
Significant economic benefits
The energy storage system makes full use of the period of negative electricity prices to store electricity, which not only reduces the cost of electricity but also realizes additional benefits by participating in services such as grid frequency regulation, further improving energy utilization efficiency.
Flexible deployment
The 10ft containerized energy storage system is small in size and quick to deploy, making it particularly suitable for scenarios with limited space, such as factories. Its modular design allows for expansion to meet future growth in energy demand.
Green environmental advantages
By shaving peak loads and filling valleys and grid-connected regulation, the factory has achieved a higher proportion of renewable energy use, reduced dependence on traditional fossil energy, and contributed to Belgium’s low-carbon transformation.
A shared vision to drive energy transformation
SCU has always been committed to providing innovative and efficient energy storage solutions to global customers and promoting energy transformation together with partners. This cooperation with the Belgian factory not only reflects SCU’s leading strength in energy storage system technology and system integration but also demonstrates the unique value of energy storage in addressing complex energy market issues such as negative electricity prices.
In the future, SCU will continue to work with more companies to help the world achieve a clean, efficient and sustainable energy future through energy storage technology.
