Overview

Microgrid aggregation enables the discovery and utilization of distributed energy storage resources (batteries) to store excess energy from energy producers. This creates a more efficient and resilient energy ecosystem by allowing energy producers to store excess energy during peak production periods and retrieve it when needed.

Scope

In Scope

  • Battery discovery and selection
  • Energy storage contract creation
  • Real-time monitoring of storage capacity
  • Payment and settlement for storage services
  • Status tracking and updates
  • Support and maintenance

Out of Scope

  • Physical battery installation
  • Battery maintenance services
  • Grid infrastructure modifications
  • Hardware-level integrations

Workflow

Process Flow

  1. Discovery Phase

    • Energy producer searches for available storage capacity
    • Battery providers return catalog of available batteries
    • Producer reviews and selects suitable storage options

  2. Contract Phase

    • Producer initiates storage contract
    • Provider confirms terms and pricing
    • Contract finalization and activation

  3. Operation Phase

    • Energy transfer to storage begins
    • Real-time monitoring and status updates
    • Capacity management and optimization

  4. Settlement Phase

    • Usage calculation and verification
    • Invoice generation
    • Payment processing
    • Reconciliation
