Description (French)
Hedgehog NBMS™ (connu sous le nom de « Nimba ») est une solution matérielle et logicielle placée entre le stockage d'énergie par batterie sur site d'un client et la sous-station du service public. Nimba est une solution unique de contrôle de micro-niveau pour gérer les actifs de la batterie, à la fois depuis le client et directement depuis le centre d'exploitation du service public. Grâce à l'intelligence artificielle et à la communication bidirectionnelle, Nimba permet à la compagnie d'électricité d'accéder à l'énergie supplémentaire stockée dans les batteries et de décharger les demandes de la sous-station. Après un développement R-D réussi, la phase d'essai sur le terrain de la solution Nimba sera réalisée de concert avec BC Hydro.
