Exciting News! We've hit a major milestone with 10 of our clients now actively trading their Octave batteries on the Belgian imbalance market⚖️
🎉 Good news for Octave's customers. Since the beginning of 2024, Octave has excelled in the efficient on-boarding of YUSO Certified batteries and has claimed the top spot on the Yuso leaderboard.
The combined energy storage capacity of these systems has surpassed 4.5 MWh (i.e., more than 25% of the total Octave battery fleet) actively balancing supply and demand and facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources like solar☀️and wind 🌬️.
Shoutout to our partner and energy supplier Yuso, whose expertise in forecasting🔮price swings on the volatile imbalance market is instrumental in steering these batteries effectively.
Thanks to the YUSO Certified Controller, every Octave battery can be used for imbalance control immediately after commissioning. By default, the Octave control ensures safe operation within the limits of the battery. YUSO takes control of the battery when an opportunity is identified in the imbalance market: the battery is charged at low imbalance rates and discharged at high imbalance rates. Octave’s high-performance BMS allows the battery to closely monitor YUSO’s steering.
The collaboration between YUSO & Octave is strengthened by the fact that both companies share a sustainable vision. The Octave battery systems, produced in Belgium, have a circular character thanks to the reuse of quality battery modules from electric cars. These battery modules are not only automotive grade but are also a lot greener than many other brands in the market due to the local value chain. This fits in nicely with YUSO’s objectives to support maximum renewable energy in the electricity grid.
