Dynamic electricity prices

Take advantage of dynamic electricity tariffs and turn price fluctuations into your advantages. With the intelligent energy management system that uses the Voltfang Energy Trader, you save automatically by always charging the battery storage system at favorable electricity prices. Your electricity requirements are covered by clever discharging of the battery storage system – perfect for companies with high energy requirements and flexible consumption times.

Why use battery storage with dynamic electricity prices?

Dynamic electricity prices offer enormous savings potential thanks to hourly fluctuating rates. To fully exploit this potential, battery storage is essential. It stores electricity purchased at low prices and releases it again when prices are higher. Without an energy storage system, consumption would have to be shifted manually to cheaper times, which is often not feasible. An intelligent battery storage system such as the Voltfang 2 performs this task automatically and optimizes power consumption based on the best price signals. This provides flexibility for operations.

Automated cost optimization with the Voltfang Energy Trader

The special feature of the Energy Trader is the combination of real-time data processing and AI optimization: It uses the EPEX day-ahead market prices, which are published daily at midday, to create the best schedule for the next 24 hours. Comprehensive forecasts of consumption and generation are also created for this purpose. The Energy Trader updates the schedule every 15 minutes, taking into account different battery states such as self-consumption optimization, delayed discharge or active charging from the grid.

Clear advantage

The Energy Trader can reduce electricity procurement costs by up to 40% by responding to market prices and adjusting battery operations through:

Charging from the grid during times of low electricity prices
Delaying discharge until periods of high electricity prices

Other applications such as self-consumption optimization or peak load capping can still be used by the battery storage system’s energy management system.

Which types of businesses are suited for a dynamic electricity tariff?

Dynamic electricity tariffs are particularly interesting for companies with high energy requirements that cannot flexibly adjust their electricity consumption to hourly electricity prices, but could benefit from fluctuating prices. A combination with a battery storage system is advisable here. Industrial companies, data centers or retail stores can therefore use a battery storage system to make targeted use of cheap electricity phases and thus save considerable costs.
