Grid Connection and local flexibility

Grid operators are increasingly granting storage connections only under specific restrictions. These so-called grid constraints define how much, how fast, or when a battery can inject or withdraw power -  directly impacting the profitability of a project. Typical restrictions include feed-in and withdrawal limits, ramping constraints, or participation in certain markets. They may be defined statically or transmitted dynamically by the grid operator on a day-to-day basis.

We understand the technical, economic, and regulatory challenges that such constraints bring: from reliable communication of limits to seamless integration into trading optimization. Our goal is to treat these requirements not as obstacles, but as integral elements of a successful storage strategy - embedding them directly into our systems and processes. This way, we unlock sustainable economic value, even under limited grid connection conditions.

The expansion of power grids is often lagging behind the pace of the energy transition. Already today, grid bottlenecks lead to costly redispatch measures for renewable energy plants. Battery storage offers a decisive advantage here: it can react flexibly and help avoid grid congestion in a cost-efficient way.

With Entrix LocalFlex, we offer an intelligent optimization product that directly integrates grid constraints and local bottlenecks into the operation of the storage system without compromising economic returns. Through an interface with the grid operator, we dynamically receive congestion information and continuously adapt the storage strategy to the current grid situation. Our market-leading optimization algorithms ensure the optimal balance between grid support and revenue maximization, automated and precise.
