Cold Storage Integration
Cleori enables cold storage and refrigeration systems to participate in the Estonian mFRR (manual Frequency Restoration Reserve) market operated by Elering. Our platform provides seamless integration for commercial and industrial cold storage facilities, unlocking new revenue streams through grid flexibility services.
Why Cold Storage Flexibility?
Cold storage systems are ideal for flexibility markets due to their:
- Down-regulation capability - Reduce compressor power consumption
- High thermal mass - Products and building provide temperature buffer
- Predictable loads - Well-understood refrigeration cycles
- Temperature flexibility - Safe operating ranges for short adjustments
Integration Requirements
Minimum Specifications
- Capacity: 50 kW minimum power draw
- Control: SCADA or BMS integration
- Response: < 15 minutes activation
- Granularity: 10% power steps
- Communication: Real-time capable
Supported Technologies
- Industrial refrigeration systems
- Cold storage warehouses
- Food processing facilities
- Pharmaceutical cold chains
- All major refrigeration controls
Telemetry Requirements
Important: Telemetry must be sent at least every 10 seconds to meet Estonian mFRR market requirements.
| Parameter | Field | Unit | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time | time | RFC 3339 | Timestamp of measurement | ✅ |
| Power | power | kW | Current power consumption | ✅ |
Flexible Submission: Telemetry values can be sent all together in a single request or individually as they become available. The API accepts partial updates - you only need to include the time field and at least one measurement value.
Integration via Cleori API
Currently, integration is supported exclusively through the Cleori API. Partners must implement the required endpoints for telemetry submission and activation reception.
Sending Telemetry
Receiving and Confirming Activations
Time-Critical: Activation signals must be acknowledged promptly to maintain grid stability during peak demand events.
Polling Requirement: Activations must be checked at least once per minute to ensure timely response to grid requirements.
