In the power grid, one rule must always apply: generation and consumption must remain in balance.
However, as the share of renewable energy increases, volatility also rises. Wind and solar systems do not always generate exactly as forecast – this leads to price fluctuations in electricity markets.
Battery storage systems create a decisive advantage here: they provide flexibility.
Energy can be stored when it is available in surplus and fed back into the grid when it is needed. This flexibility can be monetized economically on the electricity market.
TESVOLT AG develops and manufactures high-performance battery storage systems for commercial and industrial applications while delivering a holistic system architecture combining hardware, software, and digital services. At its core is an intelligent energy platform that seamlessly integrates battery storage systems, inverters, IoT connectivity, and energy management.
With the TESVOLT Energy Management System , companies can actively control their energy flows – from classic self-consumption optimization and peak shaving to managing dynamic electricity tariffs to reduce costs or increase revenues. The integrated IoT gateway ensures secure, real-time transparency of all system data and enables better, data-driven decisions during operation.
For the commercialization of storage flexibility, TESVOLT works closely with its subsidiary TESVOLT ENERGY .
TESVOLT Energy aggregates multiple industrial storage systems via its own aggregation platform into a virtual power plant. Available flexibilities are recorded, pooled, and provided to connected flexibility marketers for optimization. This gives small and medium-sized industrial storage systems from 50 kW onward access to energy trading – an opportunity previously reserved for large-scale storage power plants.
Across different market levels – including Day-Ahead and Intraday trading – traded electricity volumes are continuously adjusted.
Algorithm-based trading systems optimize buying and selling decisions. The final traded volumes determine the dispatch schedule of the storage systems.
In this way, a battery storage system becomes not only a local contributor to the energy transition, but a decentralized flexibility resource with tangible economic value.
If you would like to learn more about flexibility marketing and how you can participate in energy trading with a TESVOLT battery storage system, please feel free to contact us.
Operators of small and medium-sized battery storage systems were previously excluded from energy trading. TESVOLT Energy aggregates these systems into a virtual power plant and thereby enables them, for the first time, to participate in energy trading markets.
TESVOLT Energy works with three of Germany’s leading traders and places them in direct competition. The trader who achieves the highest revenues while operating the storage system in the most battery-friendly manner is entrusted with managing the largest share of battery systems. The result: higher revenues with reduced risk.
The TESVOLT FORTON comes with a 15-year performance guarantee when operated with TESVOLT Energy software. Thanks to optimized, battery-friendly dispatch, the system can achieve a service life of approximately 20 years. Comparable battery storage systems, by contrast, typically reach only around 10 years (with two cycles per day) or approximately 16 years (with one cycle per day).
In our Partner Portal, you will find all services for installers, from your personal contact person to the product configurator, quotation creation, and order processing.
For energy trading, you can also use our revenue calculator to calculate the potential profit for you and your customers.
TESVOLT Energy provides investors and operators with powerful digital tools that enable them to transparently track the revenues they generate via TESVOLT Energy.
The Energy Portal supports both plant operators and energy partners: operators can find everything related to trading, contract conclusion, and billing, while sales partners receive support throughout the sales process, can view the performance of the assets they manage, and can track joint revenue settlements.
