ENERGY ARBITRAGE AND BALANCE MARKETS
Supply- and demand management
Balance between supply and demand is crucial for electrical grid stability. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) can maintain the balance between supply and demand by storing excess electricity and releasing it when the demand or price is high, depending on the selected dispatch setting.
Before the renewable energy era, demand was changeable, and supply was stable. Nowadays, given the intermittency of solar- and wind energy production, the supply and demand are both changeable.
From the grid operator’s perspective, this complicates the process of maintaining the quality of supplied power within the specific tolerance window. From the end user perspective, BESS offers more flexibility and opportunities. For instance, it unlocks the door for enter the energy arbitrage and balance markets such as:
- Day-ahead (spot) energy market
- Intraday energy market
- Tennet grid ancillary services (balancing market)
- Regional DSO’s congestion management
Smart EMS, a prerequisite for energy trading
There are different types of BESS (systems) in the global market. Although the majority of systems are highly advanced systems of engineering, without an Energy Management System (EMS) it’s basically dumb hardware, that can only perform three basic jobs: charge, discharge and wait. For optimal performance it requires constant intelligent guidance from EMS. Therefore, the smarter the EMS, the shorter the ROI. The next level for EMS is the integration of trading.
Solshare can provide comprehensive, fully integrated, and market-leading battery storage solutions with smart EMS, that can be unlocked for power trading.
Selecting the right BESS optimization partner is key to maximize the value and returns from trade market opportunities.
