Fluence has won another contract to use its bidding platform to maximise market participation for renewable energy facilities in Australia.

Fluence’s software will be used at the first battery storage project in Australia by Spain’s Gransolar Group. 

Stem Inc has offered full-year 2022 revenue guidance of between US$350 million and US$425 million. 

Fluence’s artificial intelligence-driven bidding platform will optimise large-scale wind and solar assets in Australia for Telstra Energy. 

Creating a wider ecosystem of services and software is essential for system integrators to stay ahead, according to Julian Jansen at Fluence.

Swell Energy, a US company specialising in virtual power plant (VPP) projects aggregating residential solar PV and battery storage, has launched a distributed energy resources management system (DERMS) software platform. 

Stem Inc has signed a deal for over 110MWh of front-of-meter battery storage systems, as well as related services and software which will enable them to participate in New York’s Value of Distributed Energy Resources (VDER) programme. 

Fluence has offered revenue guidance for the 2022 fiscal year of between US$1.1 billion and US$1.3 billion as the company reported its Q4 and full-year 2021 results.

Enel X has announced its first battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Australia, which will help Central Irrigation Trust (CIT) in South Australia “intelligently manage” its energy use. 

Energy storage can change electricity’s status as the ultimate ‘just-in-time’ product, where supply and use have to be matched in real-time, but this won’t be possible without increasingly sophisticated software solutions.
