Energy surplus from PV/wind

What to Do with Excess Energy from Solar and Wind?

As renewable energy generation continues to grow, energy surplus is becoming an increasingly common challenge for businesses. Owners of PV installations, solar parks, and wind turbines are producing more electricity than they can use or export, especially during periods of high solar or wind generation.

Combined with grid congestion and negative electricity prices, this can significantly reduce the value of your renewable energy. However, with the right combination of battery energy storage (BESS) and an Energy Management System (EMS), businesses can store excess electricity, optimize when it is used or sold, and maximize the return on their renewable energy assets.

For businesses that rely on renewable energy generation, simply feeding electricity back into the grid is no longer a necessity.

Battery Storage Turns Surplus into Value

A battery energy storage system (BESS) allows businesses to store excess solar or wind energy instead of exporting it immediately. The stored electricity can then be used when demand increases, when electricity prices are higher, or when your business needs additional power. This improves self-consumption, reduces dependence on the grid, and creates new opportunities through energy trading and peak demand reduction. Instead of losing value during periods of oversupply, your renewable energy becomes a flexible asset.


Why an EMS Makes the Difference

While a battery provides storage, an Energy Management System (EMS) ensures that stored energy is used in the smartest way possible. An EMS continuously monitors electricity production, consumption, market prices, and battery capacity to determine the optimal charging and discharging strategy. By combining battery storage with intelligent energy management, businesses can maximize the value of every kilowatt-hour generated, reduce the impact of grid congestion, and build a more flexible and future-ready energy system.

Why is energy storage interesting for you as a producer?

1. More return from your installation

Your wind turbines and PV systems produce at times you cannot control. With storage, however, you determine when you sell. This means: less supply at low prices and more revenue during peak hours.

2. Protection against negative prices

Negative electricity prices are becoming increasingly common. Instead of paying to feed energy back into the grid, simply store it and prevent losses.

3. Responding smartly to the energy market

By utilizing price differences (energy arbitrage), you increase the value of every generated kWh. You transform your installation from a passive producer into an active player in the energy market.

4. Less dependent on grid limitation

Grid congestion and feed-in restrictions are a growing problem. With storage, you avoid having to switch off and utilize your full production capacity.

5. Strengthening your sustainable impact

By making energy available at times when there is actual demand, you contribute to a more stable energy system and reduce the need for fossil fuel backup.
