For Sterckx in Belgium, Trevi implemented a smart asset control strategy to optimise energy flows, reduce imbalance risk and transform imbalance costs into revenue.
Challenge
Sterckx produces high-quality and consistent mushroom compost with respect for people and the environment.
The site operates multiple decentralised energy assets, including wind, solar, battery storage and a genset. While this diversified energy mix creates flexibility, it also increases operational complexity.
Uncontrolled or poorly coordinated assets can lead to significant imbalance costs and financial risk. The key challenge was to centralise control, optimise communication between different technologies and respond dynamically to customer demand, market signals and grid operator requirements.
Solution
Trevi implemented a smart asset control system integrating all on-site energy assets into one coordinated control platform.
The system continuously balances production, storage and consumption. It dynamically responds to market prices and grid conditions while ensuring operational reliability for the customer.
By intelligently controlling the battery system, renewable production and backup generation, imbalance exposure is actively managed instead of passively absorbed.
Result
Imbalance risk is significantly reduced.
What was previously a cost factor becomes a revenue opportunity through active market participation.
All assets are centrally controlled and optimised according to the needs of the customer, energy markets and the grid operator, ensuring financial optimisation alongside operational stability.
