Gianluca Corbellini, CEO and co-founder of Hive Power SA, introduces the Swiss scale-up based in Lugano that specializes in flexibility optimization with a focus on smart EV charging and battery aggregation. The company aims to maximize savings and generate new revenue streams by acting as an intermediary between flexible energy sources like stationary batteries, EV infrastructure, heat pumps, solar containment systems, and energy companies. They are addressing various sectors including OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), fleet managers, logistics firms, and energy providers. Hive Power's initial use case is price arbitrage—leveraging intraday volatility in spot prices to shift electric vehicle charging times for cost efficiency. This strategy can potentially save up to 200 euros per car annually due to high renewable penetration causing significant price fluctuations across Europe. The second initiative involves aggregating available flexibilities from vehicles or batteries for ancillary services aimed at grid stabilization. By forecasting potential shifts without user discomfort and collaborating with BSPs (Balancing Service Providers) who market this flexibility towards TSOs (Transmission System Operators), they offer consistent power management solutions. Innovatively qualified by Swiss Grid for tertiary control directly from vehicles without station connections—a world-first—their scalable approach includes monitoring outcomes back to TSO while exploring broader opportunities through platforms like Piclo/Equigy internationally. Corbellini invites attendees visiting Messe München Hall C6 Booth C6.550 during The smarter E Europe Exhibition Program 2025 for further discussions on collaboration possibilities within dynamic pricing contexts alongside optimizing local distribution networks against congestion issues using aggregated flexibilities effectively both ways simultaneously!
