Protect grid stability and optimise revenue with controllable installations

With the expansion of renewable energy, the number of fluctuating generators, i.e. electricity from wind and PV energy, is increasing. Therefore, the need for controllable generation installations, such as bioenergy and CHP plants and battery storage systems for balancing out volatility in the grid is also increasing. As they are able to balance supply and demand, controllable generation installations can ensure stability in the electricity grid.

To allow for a cost-effective operation, additional revenue can be generated through demand-oriented marketing of these installations. And that’s where our trading experts from the 24/7 Trading and Operations Cockpit can support.

With their finger on the pulse of the energy markets, the team can track price developments, forecast electricity generation and consumption in the system. They also recognise opportunities to compensate for any short-term fluctuations.

Our traders are active on all major energy markets, including the trading of our customers’ electricity on spot markets, alongside the Balancing Energy Market, Day-Ahead Market and intraday markets. In addition, the trading team monitors the remote control of our own installation portfolio – for example, in the provision of balancing energy and the flexible operation of controllable installations. This enables us to market our customers' systems holistically on all markets and, of course, maximise revenues.
