Day-ahead & intraday trading

Seamlessly connect to a wide range of power exchanges. Our solutions support curtailment, strategic charging of battery systems, and optimization of charging infrastructure timing.

Customization

We can respond to price signals from forecasters like Dexter Energy or similar providers, using a custom algorithm to translate them into actions for individual assets, groups, or full portfolios. This custom algorithm requires consultancy time from our side. It can incorporate your own forecasts, account for individual asset differences such as subsidies, and consider other variables. 

Ancillary markets

We act on the ancillary markets through aggregators or in collaboration with BSPs. Our integrations cover all major players in Europe, and we continuously expand our portfolio.

Imbalance Market

We strategically curtail PV installations or control batteries to leverage opportunities in the imbalance market, enabling us to benefit from market fluctuations. The imbalance market, managed by the local TSO, allows us to process price signals with a delay using their published values (e.g., with Elia, these are 1-minute values) or, alternatively, to anticipate in advance by using third-party forecasts.

• Control of import and export limits via MQTT: The setting of actual (‘hard’) import and export limits for specific time periods or for the current quarter-hour is fully supported via the Eniris MQTT protocol (specifically under ‘Site Control’).

• Control based on quarter-hourly averages (internal test phase): Eniris is currently testing a functionality in which limits are not treated as absolute hard peak limits, but are based on quarter-hourly averages. This allows for short-term power peaks in the plant, provided the resulting quarter-hourly average is maintained.

• Automatic response and control modes for the systems: When grid limits are transmitted, the underlying systems respond automatically. The priority and sequence of adjustment depend on the active control mode of the device type. For example, if the system is set to ‘Self-consumption from the battery’, the Eniris system first stores surpluses from PV production locally in the battery before curtailing the solar modules to comply with the grid limit. Fallback scenarios via “fallback” messages: Limits temporarily set for trading purposes can be overridden at any time by sending a so-called “fallback” message via MQTT. During this fallback status, the system suspends the control

• Fallback scenarios via ‘fallback’ messages: Limits temporarily set for trading purposes can be overridden at any time by sending a so-called ‘fallback’ message via MQTT. During this fallback status, the system suspends the control of trading targets and monitors only the customer’s connected load (GTV). This serves as a purely hardware-based safeguard to prevent the fuses from being overloaded.

• Workaround for negative import/export limits: The functionality for setting a negative import limit (which enforces a minimum export value of X, which is crucial for congestion management) is not supported by default. However, this specific behaviour can be implemented, as Eniris transmits the complete system status (including battery power, battery state of charge, PV yield and consumption) and enables direct control of each individual controllable system via MQTT. Therefore, an external actor can take over control based on the shared data to enforce an export or import.
