Use Cases for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
ESFORIN uses the cross-market approach for all battery storage systems whenever possible, while complying with the prohibition on dual marketing. This allows the company to serve multiple markets both sequentially and simultaneously. This increases the profit potential of the battery storage systems while simultaneously providing risk protection against market price fluctuations and regulatory changes.
Co-location battery storage
Co-location battery storage systems utilize the grid connection of new or existing renewable energy facilities. These battery storage systems shift renewable electricity generation to times of increased demand and more attractive electricity prices on the exchange. There are various types of co-location battery storage systems. A distinction is made between storage systems that merely use the physical grid connection, co-location storage systems that increase the market value of renewable energy, and systems participating in innovation tenders, which receive funding under the EEG’s innovation tender program.
Stand-alone battery storage
Stand-alone battery storage systems are independent units with their own grid connection. With the help of ESFORIN’s flexibility trading service, you can respond to imbalances in the power grid and prices on the electricity exchange as well as on the balancing power markets. As a result, these battery storage systems can help stabilize the power grid and generate profits on the electricity exchange and in the balancing power markets.
Behind-the-meter battery storage
These battery storage systems are primarily installed to optimize self-consumption or reduce grid costs. At times, they have unused capacity that allows them to generate additional revenue. ESFORIN can help increase the efficiency of these storage systems and thus maximize their economic viability.
