Automated trading and site optimization, no team required
Bnewable Voltana in short
Most setups force a choice: use the battery to cut your own costs, or hand it to a trader to chase market revenue. Bnewable Voltana does both at once. It forecasts prices, your production, and your site demand in real time, then allocates every kilowatt hour to wherever it's worth most.
Trading on wholesale and balancing markets requires accreditation, 24/7 monitoring, and continuous operational expertise. Bnewable Voltana gives you all of it through our own BRP and BSP structure. Your battery storage earns on energy markets from day one, and you never worry about paperwork.
Bnewable Voltana coordinates your battery with your PV, wind, and industrial loads, storing the renewables you generate and deploying them when they're worth most, all within the technical limits of your assets and the constraints of your site. No changes to your operations, no interruptions to production, no new expertise to build in-house.
Comparison
Your battery storage is as valuable as the software operating it. Many industrial sites have installed a battery. But few have a specialized partner to get the full value from it. Here’s what changes when Bnewable’s Voltana EMS takes over.
Your battery storage isn’t idle 80% of the time
Peak shaving, self-consumption optimization, and virtual grid extension only use your battery some of the time. The rest of the time it sits still, depreciating without earning. Voltana puts exactly that idle time to work on energy markets and shares the resulting revenue with you.
You get the results of a trading desk without building one
Trading a battery on energy markets isn’t a side task. You need official accreditation, people watching the markets day and night, and software that never stops optimizing. Voltana comes with all of it built in, through Bnewable’s BRP and BSP accreditations at Elia. You get the results of a professional trading operation without building one.
Your operations remain front and center
Voltana operates within hard limits you define: your production schedule, your grid connection, and your site’s technical constraints. It will never trade against your own operations.
You understand exactly where every euro comes from
Voltana shows every energy flow and saving in a single dashboard: what your battery earned on the energy market, what it saved you in peak charges, and what your site generated.
A single point of contact that’s accountable for the outcome
Operating battery storage yourself typically means stitching together an EMS provider, an aggregator, a trading party, and your electricity supplier, each with their own contract and their own incentives. We replace the patchwork with Voltana, as one platform that’s accountable for the outcome.
