BESS optimisation through VPP participation

Behind-the-meter battery energy storage systems (BESS) can access multiple value streams, but capturing them consistently requires the right combination of market expertise, technology and operational oversight.

Enel X helps simplify this. Through our Virtual Power Plant, we optimise how your BESS participates in energy markets, aligning performance with your site’s operational priorities.

How it works

Enel X connects your BESS to a wider Virtual Power Plant, where assets are coordinated to respond to market signals and grid needs in real time.

Our optimisation engine continuously assesses factors such as asset availability, site constraints and market conditions to determine the most suitable opportunity at any given time.

This ensures your battery is positioned in the right market at the right time, without adding complexity to your operations.

What this means for your BESS

With the right optimisation approach, your BESS can:

• Generate additional revenue from flexibility markets
• Improve overall return on investment
• Support site resilience and backup requirements
• Reduce exposure to market complexity
• Adapt as market opportunities evolve
