Swiss Scale-Up Hive Power Revolutionizes Energy Flexibility with Smart EV Charging and Battery Aggregation Solutions

Gianluca Corbellini, CEO and co-founder of Hive Power, introduces the Swiss scale-up company based in Lugano. Hive Power focuses on flexibility optimization with a keen interest in smart EV charging and battery aggregation to maximize savings and generate new revenue streams for customers. Acting as an intermediary layer between stationary batteries, EV infrastructure, heat pumps, solar containment systems, and energy companies with market access allows them to monetize this flexibility via ancillary services. They address various sectors including OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), fleet managers, logistics firms, and energy companies themselves. Hive Power's initial use case is price arbitrage by leveraging intraday volatility in energy spot prices; shifting electric vehicle charging times when prices are lower can save around 150-200 euros per car annually due to high renewable penetration causing significant volatility across Europe. Another focus area is aggregating available flexibilities from vehicles or batteries for grid stabilization services without affecting user comfort levels—an innovative approach qualified by Swiss Grid allowing direct tertiary control from vehicles sans station connections. Their scalable model involves forecasting potential extractable flexibilities connected directly to vehicles/charging stations before signaling BSPs (Balancing Service Providers) who bid these capacities towards TSOs nationally while scheduling baseline patterns maximizing biddable amounts alongside disaggregated command signals sent back ensuring operational efficiency throughout processes involved ultimately enhancing local distribution system operations avoiding congestion issues effectively too!
