With its headquarters in Dresden, Saxony, Energy Couplers is working towards a pioneering role in the energy transition and the creation of a green and independent energy supply.
Key Products and Services
editEnergy Couplers offers the so-called "Flexibility Plant," an innovative technology that enables the networking and economic marketing of decentralized energy systems – including producers, storage, and consumers – in a virtual power plant. This flexibility plant is an aggregator that allows for the technical bundling and operation of energy systems in direct marketing and flexibility marketing.
- Networking and Marketing: Energy Couplers connects various models of wind turbines, combined heat and power plants, photovoltaic systems, heat pumps, battery storage, fuel cells, and even electric vehicles. This networking is done through the
swarmBox
and theswarmHUB
, which serve as an interface for energy trading and ensure that generation and consumption remain balanced[5]. - Energy Trading and Flexibility: The flexibility plant allows energy systems to participate in regional energy balancing and energy trading, with the most economical marketing option always in focus. This includes classic arbitrage business as well as combined flexibility marketing in the stand-alone and behind-the-meter areas[2].
