Businesses today face the challenge of maximizing solar PV self-consumption, cutting grid tariffs, and managing long lead times for new grid connections. Pixii’s battery energy storage system (BESS) addresses these primary needs – but this is just half the story. To truly optimize your return on investment (ROI) an optimized value stacking is essential. With Pixii, your BESS can transform into a comprehensive, revenue-generating investment.
Dynamic value stacking for optimized ROI
At Pixii, we believe in rethinking how a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) should operate. Our flexible BESS solutions not only deliver cost savings but also generate revenue, ensuring a robust return on investment (ROI). The secret to this success is dynamic value stacking – a strategy that maximizes the benefits of your BESS by allowing it to perform multiple services simultaneously.
Your system intelligently shifts between revenue-generating opportunities in the electricity markets and cost-saving services, automatically adapting to maximize profitability based on real-time conditions.
“Dynamic value stacking is the key to unlocking the full potential of your BESS. It allows businesses to capitalize on high-profit energy markets while seamlessly shifting to cost-saving services when needed”
Morten Schøyen, CPO
With our deep expertise and comprehensive understanding of the entire value chain, Pixii is uniquely positioned to guide you through the optimization process. Whether you need help creating a compelling business case before making your investment or selecting the right broker or aggregation partner, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Revenue-generating services
- Wholesale energy trading: Participates in the wholesale energy markets to balance supply and demand, earning revenue.
- Frequency markets: Provides grid stability services by managing frequency deviations in the local or regional market.
- Local flexibility market: Supplies active power or reduce demand to the local grid, and earn money by supporting your Distribution System Operator (DSO).
- Voltage support : Support your local distribution grid operator with improved power quality such as voltage support and harmonic filtration.
Cost-saving battery services
- Arbitrage: Maximizes the use of energy purchased at low prices from the grid, enhancing cost efficiency by optimizing consumption during high-cost periods.
- Peak shaving: Lowers energy costs by active and reactive reduction of peak demand charges.
- Power boost: Grid upgrades can be expensive and time consuming. Avoid the upgrade by boosting power locally for your peak hours.
- PV self-consumption: Maximizes use of solar energy produced on-site, reducing grid dependency and lowering electricity bills.
The role of a broker
A key component in maximizing the ROI from your BESS is the role of the energy broker, also known as an aggregator or Balance Responsible Party (BRP). The broker’s primary responsibility is to manage and optimize the trading of your battery capacity in the energy markets. This involves finding the best price and ensuring that your BESS is used in the most profitable way at any given time.
“A broker serves as your trusted partner, ensuring the BESS operates at peak efficiency, whether it’s cutting costs or generating revenue. Their expertise helps navigate the complexities of energy markets, so you don’t have to.”
Henrik Krogsæter, Product Manager EV charging & DSO
By working with a broker, you don’t have to worry about the complexities of managing the system yourself. The broker ensures that your Pixii BESS is always operating at optimal efficiency—whether it’s saving money through cost-cutting applications or generating revenue through participation in the electricity markets. In essence, the broker acts as your trusted partner, continuously working to maximize the financial performance of your energy storage system.
Future-proof with software-driven hardware
The Pixii BESS is a standardized piece of hardware, powered by advanced software, allowing the system to be tailored to specific needs while maintaining consistency and reliability. This “tailor-made standardization” approach ensures that the system stays up-to-date with the latest features and improvements, keeping your investment future-proof. By developing and servicing a single optimized product, Pixii simplifies upgrades and enhances overall system efficiency, making it easier to maintain and scale as your need evolves.
