Automated demand management
Scholt Energy handles the connection of the cold storage facility to the energy trading market. In cooperation with Flexcity, Lineage’s Bergen op Zoom facility is fully automatically adjustable. Whenever supply and demand in the electricity grid are in danger of becoming unbalanced, a control signal is sent by the national grid operator. A control box then causes the freezer to consume more electricity (in the event of an oversupply) or less (in the event of a shortage). Scholt Energy's systems monitor the available capacity and ultimately settle the cost.
