Utility Tokyo Gas has begun operating energy software and consulting group Ascend Analytics’ bid optimisation platform for its 174MW Longbow battery energy storage system (BESS) in Texas.
Energy software and consulting group Ascend Analytics CEO Gary Dorris discusses changes to ancillary services in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market and what asset optimisers need to do to stay ahead of the curve.
Battery energy storage system (BESS) integrator Fluence will use its AI-powered bidding optimisation software Mosaic for 3.64GWh of Akaysha Energy BESS in Australia.
Sweden-based BESS developer Ingrid Capacity will trade its BESS projects as they start to come online, CEO Axel Holmberg said, while also discussing the CEE market and fellow Swede Northvolt’s current challenges.
Startup Capalo AI will optimise a Finland BESS project owned by investor Ardian while Merus Power, which is providing the BESS for that project, has received a separate order from Switzerland’s Alpiq for a similarly sized one.
BESS route-to-market (RTM) and optimisation firms in the UK are increasingly looking at a wider variety of contracting mechanisms beyond the revenue-share or ‘merchant’ model, developer-operator Eku Energy told Energy-Storage.news.
New rules could open up Sweden’s flexibility services market but may also simply favour incumbents, Nordic flexibility services provider Flextools told Energy-Storage.news, discussing wider challenges to deployment.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the Nordics are seeing “extremely attractive revenues”, Finland-based optimiser Capalo AI said, as developers SENS and Ilmatar announced 70MW of projects in Sweden.
