Multi-market optimization
Optimize medium-size grid-connected batteries across relevant electricity markets and operating constraints.
EPFL spin-off
Bridging physics and markets.
Storage Control operates grid-connected battery energy storage systems by coordinating electricity market participation with local grid operators.

Challenge
The renewable grid needs local, grid-aware coordination.
Switzerland is adding 1-2 GW of solar PV per year, creating periods of significant renewable oversupply.
Grid expansion is expensive, politically difficult, and slow.
Most PV is connected in distribution grids, where reinforcement is especially challenging.
Electricity market coordination still happens mainly at national level, not where local constraints appear.
Solution
Multi-market battery operation coordinated with the distribution grid.
Storage Control enables optimal revenue stacking for battery energy storage systems while coordinating with the local grid operator. The solution links the BESS with the DSO control system, making it possible to participate in electricity markets and provide local grid services.
Market optimization
Practical capabilities for operating grid-connected batteries in coordination with market and network signals.
SCADA coordination
Practical capabilities for operating grid-connected batteries in coordination with market and network signals.
Local grid services
Practical capabilities for operating grid-connected batteries in coordination with market and network signals.
Platform
Intelligence, speed, and local awareness for BESS.
Local grid awareness
Coordinate battery operation with the local distribution grid so flexibility can support both markets and network needs.
Secure SCADA link
Establish a reliable connection between the BESS and the grid operator's control system.
Revenue stacking
Enable batteries to earn revenue from market participation and local grid services.
