Frequency control

To ensure security of supply during the transition to renewable energy, new consumption patterns and an increased number of connections between countries and electricity systems, a new balancing model has been developed in the joint Nordic cooperation project Nordic Balancing Model (NBM). As the owner of a battery, balancing that enables the energy transition while being aligned with Europe’s common legislation and internal market for electricity.

There is a great opportunity for those who want to invest in storage solutions and include them in the new common frequency market called mFRR. Participants are paid according to the amount of capacity they can provide. In other words, you get paid every hour of the year for being on standby and enabling Svenska kraftnät to either withdraw or add energy to your energy storage to even out the frequency.

Electricity arbitrage

The electricity market is characterized by high hourly price differences. The difference between low load and high load can be more than ten times as much and individual hours even more. With an active battery, you can buy energy during the cheapest hours of the day and then use it during the hours when the price is highest. Or even sell off the surplus and thus keep the battery working all the time to maximize profitability.

Auxiliary power

For those businesses where operation is important, a battery can step in and supply the business with electricity in the event of a power cut. An additional benefit is that the PV system can continue to operate if you have registered the system as an island operation. Depending on the electricity consumption and the size of the PV system, a battery can survive the most common power cuts.
