One battery. Multiple sources of value.

Start with the site

Charging in lower-cost periods and discharging when electricity is more expensive can reduce energy costs. A battery can also lower short, costly demand peaks, retain surplus solar for later use and support growth in EV charging or electrified processes.

• Energy cost optimisation
• Peak shaving
• Solar self-consumption
• Avoided or deferred connection reinforcement

Then assess the markets

An eligible asset may also access wholesale trading, the Balancing Mechanism, frequency response, reserve, the Capacity Market, DFS or local flexibility through an appropriate provider. Each route has its own metering, telemetry, size, availability and contractual rules.

• Wholesale and intraday arbitrage
• Balancing Mechanism
• Dynamic response and Quick Reserve
• Capacity and location-led flexibility

Optimise the whole asset

A capable optimiser considers electricity prices, grid-service availability, state of charge, site demand, PV forecasts, connection limits, warranties, contractual commitments and degradation. It preserves headroom for the next useful action instead of chasing every apparent opportunity.

Lifetime value beats the headline

The highest revenue number is not necessarily the best battery strategy. Extra cycling, missed site savings, warranty restrictions and unavailable export capacity can all change the result. A credible assessment models the battery, connection and operating profile together.
