Hello fellow ESS enthusiasts!

Following up from the 2nd Article in my ongoing series on Why Batteries Matter - And How They Make Money, we now go into the details of the fundamental vehicle of revenue generation by BESS - Energy Arbitrage. We discuss the naive approach, its inadequacies, and the correct way to think about how a battery actually conducts arbitrage.

I apologize for the delay in this one - I really struggled with trimming this one. The complexities behind arbitrage is tough to boil down, and even more so for someone like me who is ingrained into it all. I hope you read this one, and provide feedback on the series so far and the website.

Hello Energy Storage enthusiasts!

Following up from Article 1 of my series Why the Grid Needs Batteries, we now discuss what a battery actually does when it is connected to the grid. Why buying low and selling high is not just economically but electrically and physically important, how the advent of batteries created services that were impossible before, and the tension between the different energy demands*.*

A clear explanation of what a battery energy storage system actually does on the grid - energy shifting, ancillary services, and the dispatch tension that defines BESS economics.

Hello fellow EnergyStorage and RE enthusiasts!

I have been working in the Energy Storage segment for a while now, and upon seeing questions and doubts from fellow subredditers, I've decided to start a series explaining the fundamental operations of batteries, how they support the grid, and why they are absolutely essential for the stability of a Renewable Energy rich grid.

"Why renewable energy is creating an urgent need for battery storage on modern grids. Explore how batteries solve the frequency stability and energy timing challenges that renewables create."
