Together with Skagerak Energi, CINELDI is running a pilot at Skagerak Energilab. The lab is a unique large-scale pilot facility for local generation (PVs) and storage of electrical energy.

It is used for testing different operational modes, including local balancing of load and generation using a battery energy storage system.

We are now planning to test the optimization of local balancing by combining methods for optimal control and prediction algorithms for load and photovoltaic generation. The goal is to give insight into how such systems best can be utilized as a flexible resource providing services to the grid and to external actors.
