Shell Energy Smart Energy Hubs — Unlocking more value from your energy assets

Smart Energy Hubs integrate energy generation, storage and flexible-load technologies within a centralised energy management system.

Starting with a Shell Energy-funded Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), a Smart Energy Hub can combine separate energy assets and efficiency projects to provide centralised monitoring and control.

Full integration for a truly sophisticated solution 

Through flexible demand management, made possible through full integration of your energy assets and powered by a purpose-built technology stack, Smart Energy Hubs provide a sophisticated level of control over your energy assets and energy consumption. 

A Smart Energy Hub could include:  

  • Optimisation of energy-intensive equipment, such as chillers or HVAC (LoadFlex), for enhanced efficiency.
  • Installation and operation of onsite battery energy storage systems, otherwise known as behind-the-meter (BTM). battery energy storage systems (BESS).  
  • Maintenance of solar PV systems to ensure optimal performance.  
  • A sophisticated Smart Energy Hubs tech stack that enables dynamic operation of multiple assets for maximum flexibility.

Shell Energy & ARENA | Commercialising Smart Energy Hubs

Shell Energy is proud to work with ARENA on a new initiative to unlock flexible demand at 40 commercial and industrial customer sites in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. 

The ARENA-funded project, known as ‘Commercialising Smart Energy Hubs’, involves a whole-of-site solution that optimises the energy ecosystem including; heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, electric vehicle (EV) charging control, and onsite solar PV and storage. 

Shell Energy’s project will recruit shopping centres, supermarkets and a refrigeration distribution centre across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria to demonstrate flexible demand of 21.5 MW.
