of your battery storage system?
As part of our asset-specific marketing, our algorithms take into account not only the market conditions, but also the technical specifications and limitations of your battery storage systems (BESS). In this way, we always ensure that your batteries operate at maximum efficiency, maximize the return on investment and at the same time protect the service life of your assets.
ESFORIN reacts with its clients' investments to price signals on relevant markets - including virtual cycles ("Virtual Cycling") - financial transactions without physically activating the battery, so to speak. This allows you to generate additional income without affecting the service life of your assets.

Co-location battery storage
Co-location battery storage systems utilize the grid connection of new or existing renewable energy systems. These battery storage systems shift renewable electricity generation in times of increased demand and more attractive electricity prices on the exchange. There are different types of co-location battery storage systems. A distinction is made between storage systems that only use the physical grid connection, co-location storage systems that increase the market value of renewables and innovation tender systems that receive funding as part of the EEG innovation tender.
Stand-alone battery storage
Stand-alone battery storage systems are independent units with their own grid connection. With the help of ESFORIN flexibility marketing, you can react to imbalances in the electricity grid and prices on the electricity exchange and on the balancing power markets. As a result, these battery storage systems can help stabilize the electricity grid and generate profits on the electricity exchange and 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 degrees of freedom that make it possible to generate additional profits. ESFORIN can help to increase the efficiency of these storage systems and thus maximize their profitability.
