Every NW solution is a smart device integrating user authentication, remote software management, a digital interface and energy ecosystem compatibility. Thanks to our digital approach, the integration of an EMS at each site and our monitoring infrastructure, we can access over fifteen billion data points per site each year — equivalent to one terabyte per day. Our algorithms calculate the power to be drawn or injected based on energy pricing and market signals, developing an execution plan for each solution.
Our asset-backed trading algorithms make decisions in under 100 milliseconds and trade several gigawatt-hours on the energy markets every day.”
Hugo Polsinelli
Assistant Technical Director in charge of market optimization data and software products
Our softwares enable the management of a digitalised development process and the operation of the JBox® and IECharge®. It also facilitates the monitoring, operation and monetisation of assets in the market.We equip each solution with its own EMS (Energy Management System), which is certified for participation in system services. Each EMS is connected to an algorithmic trading platform that enables multi-market optimisation by combining multiple revenue streams.This technology is essential for the optimal performance of all our solutions.
The smooth operation of our solutions is supported by effective monitoring, data processing and control tools. Our energy management system constantly monitors the battery to optimise energy flows, maximise revenue from storage and ensure the health and longevity of the batteries. If a malfunction is detected, diagnostics are performed, which usually result in a remote resolution. If a technician is required to perform physical maintenance on the system, one is dispatched.
As the primary point of contact for external stakeholders, the Market Operations Team is responsible for launching and structuring market operations in new countries. The team ensures access to and compliance with energy markets by managing approvals and administrative processes. The team is also responsible for the initial certification of production and/or consumption sites across various markets. The team manages and monitors contracts with partners responsible for asset monetisation.
By managing access and market valuation in-house, we control the entire storage value chain. This allows us to be more effective in our interactions with our partners. This end-to-end control enables us to be extremely agile in new markets and accelerates our international expansion.”
Romain Chauvet
Head of the Aggregation and Supply Department
At NW, protecting our digital systems means contributing to a reliable power grid. This commitment is deeply rooted in our corporate culture, championed by leadership, and shared by every employee. Our approach is based on industry best practices to ensure the resilience of our JBox® and IECharge® products: ISO 27001:2022 certified since 2023, we also apply the recommendations from the IEC 62443-3-3 standards for industrial system security and the European NIS 2 Directive for the protection of critical infrastructure.
The cyber team’s top priority is to ensure the continuity of our business and the recovery of our software and industrial infrastructure in the event of a disaster. We are constantly improving in this area and have developed in-house expertise to protect all our critical assets.”
Marie Drecq
Head of Information Systems Security
This engineer is responsible for leading and overseeing the development of a technical solution to analyse large-scale product data in order to assess its relevance. The data scientist quantifies the financial and technical benefits of the solution to inform decision-making. He also monitors the operational rollout of software updates.
This engineer is responsible for designing the network systems architecture. His role involves ensuring that the solution meets all requirements, including regulatory, standard-based and security requirements. He is also responsible for the reliability and security of IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) systems, as well as communications between them.
This engineer specialises in developing applications within performance, time and stability constraints. He is responsible for all features of the EMS (Energy Management System), the control unit for our storage system. At NW, the programming language used is Rust. As part of a continuous improvement process focused on both the hardware and software design of the solution,
the embedded software engineer collaborates closely with the product team and NW’s technical teams.
