be.storaged: Maximizing Behind-the-Meter Flexibility for Stationary Batteries in Germany

be.storaged, established in 2018 focuses on the stationary battery market. The company offers end-to-end services from engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) to operation, maintenance, and flexibility trading through their proprietary Energy Management System (EMS) and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) solutions. The talk emphasizes "Behind the Meter Flexibility Trading" for making Battery Storage Systems (BSS) more profitable while aiding the green energy transition. Behind-the-meter refers to systems installed locally at customer sites like batteries or solar panels which optimize grid tariffs and peak shaving among other functions. In contrast, front-of-the-meter applications involve ancillary services linked directly to large-scale grid operations. A key focus is optimizing behind-the-meter flexibility without disrupting local use cases. An example discussed is atypical grid usage in Germany—a form of peak shaving where customers reduce electricity demand during specific high-demand windows pre-defined by Distribution System Operators (DSOs). This approach can yield significant cost savings based on capacity prices set by DSOs. In summary, be.storaged integrates advanced EMS/VPP technologies to optimize both behind- and front-of-the-meter applications supporting economic benefits while promoting renewable energy adoption.

Talk of session: Offtake and Asset Optimization - A Growing Opportunity in Continental Europe?

Battery storage systems are first and foremost a tool in the energy market. Unlike a hammer, they can be used in a variety of ways. In recent years, including at the ees Europe Conference, the use cases for storage have been discussed in detail. Whether battery storage turns out to be a successful tool depends on how it is used. In this session, we will show you how battery storage systems are being optimized, e.g. in virtual power plants, to maximize their return on investment and avoid negative consequences, such as accelerated aging.
