What is energy trading?
Battery storage systems are a key component in stabilizing the electricity grid, particularly in the context of the energy transition. They balance out load fluctuations by storing surplus energy and releasing it when needed. This prevents power outages and reduces dependence on redispatch measures, which can save billions of euros every year.
In addition, battery storage systems offer economic advantages for private operators, as grid operators pay remuneration for grid-supporting services such as primary control power or voltage support. With their ability to react quickly and flexibly to fluctuations, they not only contribute to grid stability, but also make the integration of renewable energies more efficient and economically attractive.
Standalone Trading
Stand-alone battery systems operate independently of a generation plant and draw their electricity directly from the grid. They enable targeted use for applications such as arbitrage, grid services or balancing energy.
Operation is particularly attractive in markets with volatile electricity prices, where economic benefits can be realized through intelligent charging and discharging. Standalone systems offer maximum flexibility in terms of location and operating strategy - without the need for integration into existing energy infrastructures.
Co-Location
A shared location (or co-location) allows battery storage systems to store surplus electricity from renewable energies and release it again when needed, for example at night or when demand is high.
This reduces the load on the grid connection, minimizes curtailments and increases the economic efficiency of the systems. In addition, storage systems can react flexibly to exchange prices by selling the electricity generated at times of higher demand. Overall, co-location contributes to the integration of renewable energies and the stabilization of the electricity grid.
Multi-Use
Classic multi-use applications usually allow the combination of two functions via one storage system, e.g. self-consumption optimization and trading.
With our EMS, the user has the option of combining numerous applications with each other. This opens up completely new possibilities for optimizing the use of the storage system. It is also possible to react to regulatory and economic changes in the market and realize business models that are possible in the future.
