Project Background

Renepoly Switzerland New Energy Project:

A Global Success Story

of a Technical Virtual Power Plant (VPP)

Project Configuration

Total Capacity: 2000kW/4300.8kWh BESS + 2859kWp Solar System + EMS

Includes two sub-microgrids:

  • Microgrid A:1000kW/2150.4kWh BESS + 1140kWp Solar + EMS
  • Microgrid B:1000kW/2150.4kWh BESS + 1719kWp Solar + EMS

The Challenge: The Dilemma of a Decentralized Power Ecosystem

Challenge

Switzerland's incentives for on-site solar empower businesses and farms to generate their own power. Yet, this creates a strategic dilemma: while individually reducing energy costs, a proliferation of disconnected systems pushes against the limits of the shared grid. During a grid failure, these isolated installations cannot support each other, transforming potential energy independence into a liability—operational islands left without backup, increasing downtime risks precisely when continuity is most critical.

Our Solution:

Intelligence Through Integration for a Resilient Grid

Our pioneering Virtual Power Plant (VPP) project in Switzerland provides the answer. We seamlessly integrate multiple microgrids into a single, unified virtual power plant. Our advanced EMS doesn't just combine power; it coordinates it intelligently. This enables the integrated assets to support each other and work in harmony with the wider grid, providing true stability and resilience.

Core Project Value — Technology Aggregation & Intelligent Coordination

1

Intelligent Demand Management (Peak-shaving mode)

The EMS acts as the system brain, monitoring site-wide load in real time and automatically executing peak-shaving strategies. By coordinating energy between the two microgrids, it supports the distribution network, improves stability, and raises power quality.

2

Efficient Capacity Management (Capacity management)

Smart algorithms continuously optimize energy flows to ensure the most efficient and reliable operation under all conditions. State-of-charge (SoC) rules are configurable to protect batteries and prioritize safety.

Scenarios A: Lowsolar (grid supply needed)

If SOC < 10% (configurable), BESS stops discharging to protect battery health;

If SOC ≥ 10%, storage discharges across both microgrids to match total load and maintain supply.

Scenarios A-1
Scenarios A-1

Scenarios B: High solar (no grid supply)

While total storage is not full, batteries charge using a balanced distribution strategy to equalize cells and extend life; when full, excess PV is dispatched per grid signals, showing distributed assets can be grid-friendly and economically efficient.

Technical Virtual Power Plant (VPP) — Aggregation &amp; Coordination

This project is a working VPP example: local controllers plus a cloud-enabled EMS aggregate and coordinate multiple microgrids at the HV side. It proves large-scale aggregation of distributed resources is technically feasible and provides a repeatable model for flexible, resilient grids.
