This has been reported by battery storage provider Tesvolt and its subsidiary Tesvolt Energy. Over several months, the outdoor storage system was tested in ten different customer projects. Those storage systems used exclusively for energy trading are already generating monthly revenues in the four- to five-figure range. Tesvolt Forton has also demonstrated its effectiveness in classic applications such as optimising self-consumption and peak shaving.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-763710&#8243; medias=&#8221;87280&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;1&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|lightbox|original,icon,caption&#8221; screen_lg=&#8221;1000&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; single_text=&#8221;under&#8221; single_width=&#8221;10&#8243; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; single_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; single_text_reduced=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;200823&#8243; items=&#8221;eyI4NTY5M19pIjp7InNpbmdsZV90ZXh0IjoidW5kZXIiLCJzaW5nbGVfd2lkdGgiOiIxMCJ9fQ==&#8221;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;416632&#8243;]<strong>Press pictures<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesvolt.com\/en\/press\/field-tests-successful-energy-trading-with-tesvolts-new-commercial-battery-storage-system-tesvolt.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.tesvolt.com\/en\/press\/field-tests-successful-energy-trading-with-tesvolts-new-commercial-battery-storage-system-tesvolt.html<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Lessons learned<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cField tests are extremely important \u2013 especially when using battery storage systems for energy trading as this significantly raises the requirements for hardware, software and technical support,\u201d<\/em> says Leonard Friese, Product Manager at Tesvolt.<em> \u201cWe learned a lot during the field tests. At first, there were several technical hurdles, then only occasional minor issues \u2013 and finally the moment came when everything ran smoothly on a permanent basis.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Early Coordination with Grid Operators is Key<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cThe field test phase helped us optimise new project workflows and internal processes. Initially, it took several days to digitally integrate a new storage project into our virtual power plant together with the traders. Now it\u2019s just a few steps, usually completed within half a day,\u201d<\/em> explains Juri von Wilcken, Product Manager at Tesvolt Energy. The start-up aggregates commercial energy storage systems into a virtual power plant, enabling even smaller battery systems to participate in energy trading on the electricity exchange.<em> \u201cWe also learned how essential it is to engage with the relevant grid operators already during the early project initiation phase, to ensure that the start of commercial operation is not unnecessarily delayed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Storage Systems in Energy Trading Generate High Revenues<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cEnergy trading is creating a gold rush atmosphere in the energy storage industry right now. But I wanted to try it out first before offering the Forton and the business model to my customers. Now I know: it works. The storage systems run smoothly and generate the forecasted revenues. This means they will pay for themselves in about five to six years,\u201d<\/em> says Johannes Mitterreiter, Managing Director of the electrical engineering company Reichbrandst\u00e4tter in Southern Germany. <em>\u201cI have four Forton units on my company premises. When customers see them and I show them the revenues, they want a piece of the pie too \u2013 they want to join in energy trading.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Until now, operators of commercial battery storage systems have had very limited opportunities to find a trader willing to market their smaller storage capacities on the power exchange. Tesvolt Energy aggregates these systems and connects them to the grid as part of a pooled asset, enabling their capacity to be marketed by three of Germany\u2019s most renowned energy traders. By introducing competition between the traders, the start-up ensures particularly attractive returns and reduced risk for customers. Participation is possible for anyone with a grid connection of at least 50 kW and a battery storage system starting from 50 kW.<\/p>\n<h3>15-Year Performance Guarantee<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cCommercial storage has never been this economical. Technically, this is only possible with a battery storage system that is extremely robust \u2013 capable of being charged and discharged several times a day over many years,\u201d<\/em> explains Simon Schandert, CTO and Co-Founder of Tesvolt. <em>\u201cTesvolt Energy\u2019s intelligent software also ensures that the storage system is operated as profitably as possible while being as gentle as necessary.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Virtual Storage Power Plant is Growing<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cSince the field tests were completed, we\u2019ve been receiving even more orders from customers who want to use Forton for energy trading. We are therefore onboarding more and more storage systems into our virtual power plant,\u201d<\/em> reports von Wilcken. <em>\u201cTwo-thirds of all orders are for Forton units intended for trading, while one-third are for classic applications such as optimising self-consumption and peak shaving \u2013 which remain highly profitable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>About Tesvolt<\/h4>\n<p>Tesvolt AG is a leading European full-service provider of innovative energy storage system solutions for commerce and industry.
