Market-ready artificial intelligence (AI) is a key feature of battery management to deliver sustainable revenues for a more competitive renewables market, writes Dr Adrien Bizeray of Brill Power.
Battery storage thrives on energy market volatility meaning there will be good years and bad years, a panellist at Solar Media’s Renewable Energy Revenues Summit 2024 said last week.
