Problem
Renewable energy producers face increasingly volatile and often negative electricity prices during periods of oversupply, when surplus power cannot be profitably sold to the grid. This curtails asset profitability and discourages further investment in wind and solar capacity, even as the energy transition demands more renewable generation.
Solution
Nordblock provides virtual energy storage systems (VESS) that transform surplus electricity into a flexible, revenue-generating demand resource. Its flagship product uses smart compute resistors with adaptable load capabilities to act as a flexible energy consumer, converting low-value electricity into revenue across multiple energy markets. The system enables energy providers to participate in various ancillary service markets simultaneously, ensuring assets capture the highest value at any given time. The solution is delivered as a turnkey package covering installation, operations, maintenance, and lifecycle management, allowing wind and solar farms to operate at maximum efficiency year-round.
Target Audience
Primary customers are renewable energy asset owners and providers, particularly wind and solar farm operators, as well as industrial and commercial energy users seeking profitable electrified heating solutions.
