The market for renewable energy is changing rapidly
The current energy market is being turned upside down by stricter laws and regulations, rising energy prices, and the challenges faced by grid operators with the addition of sustainable energy sources. Companies are required to take actions in order to keep up with all the market developments:
Complex challenges in energy transition
A surge in the use of sustainable assets such as solar farms and wind parks is causing complexity for the energy market.
Vulnerabilities in the energy grid
The imbalance in the electricity grid has increased due to factors such as: aging networks, peak demand periods and higher energy demand.
Dynamic energy pricing
With the current fluctuations in energy prices, more energy providers are adopting towards flexible pricing models. This requires a new way of data management.

Advanced curtailment
Our state of the art curtailment solution helps you pause production, protect your earnings, and avoid negative imbalance/EPEX pricing. From scheduled (day ahead) curtailment to real-time control, including granular ramping up and ramping down. We're enabling profitable flex services on balancing and congestion markets.
Real time interface (RTI)
Enable the grid operator to intervene in case of acute grid congestion.
- Compliant with the European regulation (RfG compliance).
- Mandatory in the Netherlands for new grid connection surpassing 1MW.
Local EMS
A local EMS makes real-time data processing possible as its a solution that is physically present at the site of the energy assets. This gives you direct control over your energy assets including generation units, storage systems and consumption loads. Optimize the balance between energy production and consumption directly at the source (“behind the meter”), and ensure functionality even during connection outages.
Smart Load Manager
Optimize your local grid, while protecting it against overload.
- Enable control to maximize earnings
- Create a local grid with your solar farm, wind turbines, battery storage, local customers, the grid, and more
Asset Data Management
The Helin Data collector enables the monitoring of your assets to improve performance and reduce downtime.
- Sub-second data management
- High fidelity telemetry data
- Easy deployment of applications & analytics
What makes Helin different
Our edge-to-cloud analytics platform is tailored to the renewable energy sector and seamlessly manages any asset. We combine local artificial intelligence with a centrally managed data infrastructure for more accuracy, reduced network congestion and lower costs.
High-end security
The telemetry data from your inverters, batteries and sensors will be securely streamed to the desired endpoint. That could be in the cloud or directly into your asset & energy management systems. Streaming occurs up to once per second.
True edge computing
Our solution comes with a customizable edge computer that will be installed at your solar farm. This weather resistant box includes connectors to your digital and analogue systems, plus the connectivity to offload the data into your database.
Smart Solar API
The solution comes with the Smart Solar Control Module, allowing you to manage the inverter and battery settings from your Energy Management System (EMS). Curtail the inverters or peak shave any excess solar energy. It’s your choice.
Creating a smart solar grid
Sunrock is the largest solar energy company in The Netherlands. We implemented the smart gird manager to monitor and control their solar farms in the most optimal way.
Benefits for Sunrock
Our Smart Grid Manager puts Sunrock in charge of their solar energy management. By integrating with their asset management the uptime has increased. Control over inverter management has also increased the revenues by trading energy output for spot market prices.

Integrate Helin into your technology
Solar PV
Create a local smart grid by combining production and consumption data. Connect solar PVs to your asset and energy management systems.
Wind turbines
Connect wind turbines to optimize your wind earnings. Helin lets you automatically curtail your turbines during storms or to match the energy generation to your consumption.
Battery systems
Monitor and control your battery energy storage system (BESS) to increase your profits. Our solution can help both the asset owner as energy traders.
EV chargers
Our Smart Grid Manager enables bi-directional charging, allowing electric vehicles to not only charge but also supply power back to the electricity grid at the most optimal time.
Heat pumps
Unlock valuable data and control your heat pumps with our platform. Make these assets easily accessible with remote management.
Grid solutions
The majority of grid assets are outdated. Our solution makes it possible to balance supply and demand across the grid.
