Optimising energy storage assets for a more flexible grid

As battery energy storage systems become an increasingly critical part of the energy transition, the conversation is shifting from simply deploying more assets to ensuring they are used as intelligently as possible.

In this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast, Pamela Largue speaks with Henri Taskinen, CEO and co-founder of Capalo AI, about the sophisticated optimisation and trading strategies that are unlocking the full value of battery storage. 

He focuses in on how AI, forecasting and advanced algorithms enable storage assets to respond dynamically to changing market conditions, as well as why intelligent optimisation is becoming essential to project bankability.

In this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast, you will learn more about: 

• What battery energy storage optimisation means and how asset traders maximise both grid value and commercial returns;
• How batteries earn revenue by participating in multiple markets, from energy arbitrage to ancillary and grid balancing services;
• Why intelligent optimisation can make or break a battery investment, significantly affecting project revenues and returns;
• How battery operators balance profitability with asset longevity, taking into account degradation, cycling limits and manufacturer warranties;
• Why hybrid renewable are becoming the next major growth area for energy storage;
• What makes a battery storage project bankable, including the role of optimisation providers, revenue guarantees, floor agreements and tolling structures.
