Energy Market Participation

Stop paying the spot market. Start trading with it.

Battery storage plus an intelligent EMS turns energy from a monthly bill into an asset that earns. Dynamic tariff arbitrage, grid-services revenue and flexibility trading are captured automatically, optimised continuously, reported in numbers your CFO can audit.

OPPORTUNITIES

Your energy is a market. Most industrial sites still treat it like a utility bill.

Spot prices move by the hour. Tariffs shift with the season. Grid operators pay for flexibility every fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, most C&I sites still buy energy on a static contract and ignore three revenue lines that are quietly compounding into someone else’s margin.

Static supply contracts

Lock you out of hourly price movements even when spot prices go negative during sunny afternoons or windy nights.

Missed arbitrage

The spread between cheap and peak hours is the opportunity. Without storage and an EMS, you pay the average every day.

Unmonetised flexibility

Spare battery capacity is tradable on balancing and flexibility markets. Most sites never ask and never collect.

PV exported below cost

Surplus generation sold back at feed-in rates well below daytime spot prices. Every exported kWh is margin walking out the door.

HOW IT WORKS

The EMS is where storage becomes strategy

The hardware stores energy. The intelligence that decides when to charge, discharge, trade or hold is the EMS. Monbat Energy’s platform is built on OpenEMS, an open-source standard co-developed with European universities and EMS manufacturers. Modular apps activate the revenue streams available at your site.

DYNAMIC TARIFF

Charge when prices are low. Discharge when they’re high

The Dynamic Tariff app connects to your supplier’s price signal and forecasts generation and consumption. It arbitrages the daily spread automatically. Supported wherever hourly-dynamic C&I tariffs exist – DE, AT, NL, Nordics and expanding.

PV SELF-CONSUMPTION

Use what you generate instead of exporting at a discount

The Self-Consumption Optimisation app stores PV surplus for evening use. Grid-Supportive Charging goes further day-ahead forecasts schedule charging to minimise curtailment and support grid stability at your connection point.

FLEXIBILITY TRADING

A revenue stream from battery capacity

Capacity marketers connect via API to integrate your BESS into theur flexibility platform. The aggregator sends charge and discharge schedules while respecting your loacal operational constraints.

PEAK LOAD TIME SLOTS

Avoid grid-operator high-load windows

Some DSOs publish scheduled high-load time slots that attract surcharges. The EMS reduces grid draw automatically during those windows – no calendar tracking, no manual intervention.

INTEGRATION LAYER

Speaks to the systems you already run

Modbus-RTU and Modbus-TCP to your ERP, SCADA, or BMS. Cloud or on-prem deployment. OTA updates as markets and regulations evolve – you buy a platform, not fixed logic.

Limited Grid Power

The charging site requires 600 kW to support current and future demands. The existing grid connection is limited. Expanding the grid connection would require significant infrastructure updates with estimated cost of €267k.

783 kWh BESS + integrated EMS

MONBAT Energy EOM 780 enables DC fast charging with the EMS configured to Peak Shaving, Dynamic Tariffs and Dynamic Load Balancing for charging stations. Three weeks from installation to live operation.

From Concept to Go-Live in 6 Months

A major achievement driven by outstanding teamwork, decisive project management and relentless focus. From planning to

commissioning, the entire project was delivered in only six months bringing value to the business faster than expected.

PRODUCTS

The intelligence layer is the differentiator.

For market participation the EMS is what you’re really buying. The BESS provides physical capacity; the EMS decides how every kWh earns its keep. A single integrated stack from a single supplier and no bolted-on third-party software, no uncertain roadmaps.

FAQ Further questions?

Further questions? Let’s personalize the information to your case.

Which countries and energy markets does the EMS currently support for dynamic tariffs and trading?

Dynamic Tariff is live in markets where C&I customers have access to spot-linked or hourly-dynamic tariffs – today that includes Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, the Nordics, and a growing list of other European markets. Flexibility trading via the Levl Energy app is currently strongest in the DACH region; other markets are added as their regulatory frameworks extend. Grid-services and balancing-market participation is country-specific because the market rules are. On the first call we’ll confirm exactly what’s addressable for your site and country.

Do I need my own aggregator relationship, or is one included?

The Levl Energy integration is built into the EMS as a standard app, but the commercial relationship with Levl is separate you sign their trading agreement directly. Monbat Energy introduces you and supports the onboarding. If you already work with a different aggregator, the EMS architecture is open; additional integrations are possible on request, though not all are pre-built.

What kind of revenue uplift is realistic?

Honest answer: it depends on your tariff structure, load profile, PV curve, and the market rules in your country. Sites stacking dynamic tariff arbitrage, flexibility trading and PV self-consumption typically see combined net energy cost improvements in the 15–35% range. We don’t quote a headline number, we build a site-specific model from your interval meter data and tariff before you commit to anything.

Can the EMS integrate with our existing ERP or energy management system?

Yes. The EMS speaks Modbus-RTU and Modbus-TCP and exposes data via standard protocols for higher-level integration. It’s designed to coexist with existing site systems, not replace them. For specific ERP environments (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, site-level SCADA), we scope the integration on the commercial call.

What happens to my revenue streams if regulations change?

The EMS is modular and updated continuously. When a market changes its rules, a new balancing product, different time-slot definitions, an altered feed-in structure – the app handling that revenue stream is updated over the air. You don’t buy fixed logic, you buy a platform that tracks the market.

Isn't this just peak shaving with extra marketing?

No, and the distinction matters. Peak shaving is defensive: it reduces what you pay. Market participation is offensive: it generates revenue from assets you already own. The EMS does both simultaneously because the same battery can. The question isn’t which to choose; it’s how many revenue streams your site can realistically stack, and in what priority order the EMS should resolve conflicts between them.
