How does Entrix handle grid restrictions on an asset?

Earning Revenue from Your Battery

A flexible connection agreement sets fixed and dynamic limits

A flexible connection agreement (FCA) defines how much, how fast or when your battery may charge, discharge or offer balancing services. Limits can be static, seasonal or dynamic. With Entrix LocalFlex, your grid operator sends dynamic limits to us via API, and the optimization applies them directly.

Restrictions differ in what they cost

Not every restriction affects your business case the same way. Depending on its type and level, a restriction can barely matter or cost a large share of your battery’s revenue. Limits on charging power and caps on balancing services usually weigh most. Moderate ramp rates for wholesale trading or schedule freezes are often easier to accept.

We calculate what a restriction costs before you sign

Before you sign, we calculate what a planned restriction costs your business case and show you which terms to negotiate first. Grid connection terms are usually fixed before your battery is built, so we look at them with you early.

How does Entrix handle ramp rate restrictions?
Entrix dispatches your battery storage system within the ramp rate your grid operator allows. Our algorithm holds one setpoint across consecutive delivery periods, so your battery delivers more energy within the limit than with a return to zero after each period.

Does the location of my battery affect what it earns in Germany?
Your location determines which restrictions your distribution system operator (DSO) places on your battery storage system. Entrix builds these restrictions into the optimization, and they influence what your system earns.

Does Entrix tailor its trading strategy to each asset?
Yes. Entrix configures its trading strategy to each battery storage system. Before trading begins, we analyze its hardware and site and set up the algorithm for its opportunity space: what the asset can technically do, which markets it can access and which limits apply.

Does Entrix's performance vary by season or day of the week?
Yes. A battery’s revenues follow the market’s seasons. They are typically highest from spring to early autumn, when strong solar generation drives price spreads. Weekday and weekend patterns shift with market conditions and follow no fixed rule.

Across which markets does Entrix trade battery assets?
Entrix trades your battery storage system in several German markets at the same time. Our multi-market optimization decides continuously how to split its capacity across them to maximize total revenue.

Why do batteries of the same size earn different revenues?
Because each battery has its own opportunity space: the full set of strategies that are physically possible and contractually permitted for it. Two batteries with the same power and duration can face very different conditions, and those conditions decide what each one can earn.
