From the initial idea to long-term profitable flexibility trading.
As a former pioneer in industrial load flexibility (demand response), we are now the leading provider of comprehensive flexibility trading on all relevant short-term markets. We enable the ENERGY-INTENSIVE INDUSTRY, UTILITIES and CLEAN-TECH INVESTORS to participate in ALGORITHMIC INTRADAY TRADING and the CONTROL RESERVE MARKETS, making them a driving force in the transition to a sustainable future.
INDUSTRIAL COMPANIES
Reduce energy costs for industrial plants
Produce more cost effective and support stability in the electricity grid
Optimise your energy costs through load shifting or load adjustment (increase or reduction) in production and benefit from the provision of system services.
For our long-standing customers, reducing or increasing the production process at short notice and in a controlled manner has long been a profitable side business. This way, they can reduce the load on the electricity grid, generate attractive additional revenue and thus optimise their energy costs. There are processes and systems which can change their operating point rather reluctantly and rarely. Even these can participate and contribute by providing control reserve power capacity and receive extremely attractive remuneration for this.
Industrial processes with high and predictable electricity consumption are particularly suitable, for example:

APPLICATION EXAMPLE INDUSTRY
Cross-Market Optimisation in the power-to-heat sector
Flexible operation of power-to-heat systems enables industrial companies to significantly optimize their electricity costs. If an electrode boiler is used, for example, process heat can be generated cost-effectively during periods of cheap electricity or when there is an oversupply in the electricity grid and then used when required. If the company itself operates a system for generating renewable energy, surplus electricity can be stored temporarily or fed into the local power grid at a profit.

UTILITIES
Generating additional revenues for utilities
Actively using future topics: Electrification of heat generation & large-scale battery storage
Use the flexibility of your existing or future electricity-flexible systems for integrated optimization on the control reserve and spot markets. They thus increase their economic efficiency and at the same time support the integration of renewable energies.
In the course of the further decarbonization of our energy system, the increasing electrification of local and district heating generation will be one of the key developments. In addition to biomass cogeneration plants and CHP units, large-scale heat pumps and electrode boilers will be used in the future. These so-called power-to-heat technologies can be used flexibly – especially in combination with gas, hydrogen or biomass-based heat generation – and offer great potential for optimization in an increasingly volatile and short-term electricity market.
The development of large-scale battery storage systems has also been a recognizable and growing trend for utilities for some time. The already high value of flexibility in the electricity market will increase as renewable energies are expanded. This trend is being reinforced by a continuous decline in the proportion of controllable conventional power plants. Battery storage systems are something like the Swiss army knife of the electricity industry: they can and must therefore be used and optimised across all short-term markets.
With Entelios Cross-Market Optimisation, you can leverage your flexibility with the most advanced system on the market. This increases the profitability of your flexibility project and reduces your dependency on individual market developments.
The following systems are particularly suitable for flexibility trading:

APPLICATION EXAMPLE UTILITIES
Cross-market optimisation in local and district heating generation
Flexible operation of CHP & power-to-heat systems, for example, enables utilities to significantly optimize their heat generation costs. If, for example, a CHP unit is used in conjunction with an electrode boiler, local and district heating can be generated cost-effectively and used as required in times of cheap electricity or when there is an oversupply due to a high level of renewable energy generation.

CLEAN-TECH INVESTORS
Increase revenues for battery storage
Maximum profitability & resilience in the flexibility trading and management of your battery storage systems while retaining warranty conditions
Invest your capital in sustainable technologies and support the efficient integration of renewable energies! We help you to market your systems on the European flexibility markets and thus maximize the profitability of your battery storage systems.
The development of large-scale battery storage projects is a trend that has been apparent for some time and is increasing significantly. The already high value of flexibility in the electricity market will increase as renewable energies are expanded. This trend is being reinforced by a continuous decline in the proportion of controllable conventional power plants.
We support you at an early stage in the process of developing your battery project: from the design and implementation to the flexibility trading and management of your systems in the electricity market.
