The context discusses the monetization and optimization of large-scale battery storage systems, particularly in co-located projects combining batteries with solar or wind energy. The speaker at The smarter E Europe Exhibition Program 2025 emphasizes the need for such integrations due to underutilized grid connections during non-peak hours and declining solar prices leading to negative pricing scenarios. Batteries can provide a hedge against these issues by earning revenue when solar loses it. Suena GmbH, a flexibility trading house from Hamburg managing around 400 megawatts of assets, focuses on optimizing multi-market trading strategies across various German markets like day-ahead auctions and balancing markets (FCR/AFR). They employ advanced software solutions that process millions of data points daily to make efficient decisions every 15 minutes. Co-location setups involve integrating batteries/meters alongside subsidized green-power-solar-farms while considering business case impacts through different commercial models like profit-sharing agreements or tolling options tailored per setup specifics. Unified traders handling both renewable-energy/battery tasks are recommended for better control over hybrid systems' operations, enhancing overall profitability despite challenges posed by constraints such as wintertime energy availability restrictions in behind-meter configurations.
