What It Is: Frequency response services are crucial for maintaining the stability of the power grid. Battery storage systems can quickly respond to changes in grid frequency - either by releasing or absorbing power - to help balance supply and demand.
How It Benefits You: Participating in frequency response markets allows battery owners to earn revenue by providing these essential services, which are typically compensated at premium rates due to their critical nature in preventing blackouts and maintaining grid integrity.
What It Is: Balancing markets, also known as real-time markets, involve adjusting bids to supply or consume electricity on a short-term basis, helping to balance the grid in near real-time.
How It Benefits You: Battery storage systems can capitalise on fluctuations in energy prices throughout the day. By either storing energy when prices are low or releasing it when prices are high, battery systems can maximise earnings based on real-time demand and supply conditions.
What It Is: In day-ahead markets, participants bid to buy or sell electricity one day before the actual delivery. Prices are determined based on forecasted demand and supply conditions.
How It Benefits You: Owners can use predictive analytics to decide the best times to charge or discharge their batteries, allowing them to buy low and sell high. Effective participation in these markets can secure profitable contracts and enhance overall revenue streams.
What It Is: Sometimes, especially in regions with high renewable energy penetration, there's more electricity production than the grid can handle. In such cases, grid operators may need to curtail, or reduce, output from some sources.
How It Benefits You: Battery systems can offer a solution by absorbing excess power, which not only earns curtailment fees but also stores inexpensive energy for later sale.
Strategy Overview: 'Revenue stacking' involves participating in multiple electricity markets simultaneously. This strategy allows battery storage owners to leverage the unique capabilities of their assets to tap into various revenue streams.
How We Do It: Comcat Group uses sophisticated algorithms and market analysis tools to continually assess the best markets for your battery to participate in at any given time. Our approach considers:
By effectively stacking these opportunities, we ensure that your battery storage assets are not only contributing to grid stability and renewable integration but are also generating the highest possible returns. Our commitment is to keep your assets profitable and pivotal in the evolving energy landscape.
