As renewable penetration grows, power portfolios are becoming harder to manage. Batteries add a new management layer, helping utilities to produce firm intermittent generation, respond to volatile and negative prices, manage grid constraints and optimize positions across markets and time horizons.
By combining renewable firming, market optimization and grid services, BESS can improve portfolio performance while opening new flexibility-driven revenue streams.
Batteries compensate for deviations between forecasted and actual renewable generation, reducing imbalance exposure and making solar and wind portfolios more predictable and manageable.
Flexible charging and discharging help portfolios respond to negative prices and intraday volatility, shifting energy away from low-value periods and capturing within day spreads.
BESS can adapt injection and consumption to grid constraints, helping reduce the impact of congestion, curtailment and increasingly constrained connection capacity.
Batteries can monetize flexibility beyond energy arbitrage through balancing and ancillary services, as well as capacity markets that remunerate availability and firm capacity.
NTTデータのサポート体制は?
Connects BESS and OEM/OT systems to monitor real-time battery status, availability and technical constraints, and to safely manage charge and discharge setpoints.

Integrates battery data with renewable forecasts, market prices, PPAs, portfolio positions and grid signals, providing the information required to anticipate flexibility needs and opportunities.

Determines the optimal use of available flexibility across the VPP, considering renewable generation, market opportunities, commitments and battery technical and lifecycle constraints.

Translates portfolio optimization into coordinated strategies across day-ahead, intraday, balancing and ancillary services, while considering alternative uses of battery flexibility.

Continuously recalculates available flexibility and optimal charge/discharge setpoints based on battery conditions, updated forecasts, market prices and grid signals, closing the loop between portfolio decisions and physical asset operation.

Automates bid generation, market communication, schedules and nominations, enabling optimized flexibility decisions to be executed efficiently across power markets.


Lower exposure to imbalance costs by using battery flexibility to compensate deviations between forecasted and actual renewable generation.
Increase the cashflows from renewable assets generation by shifting energy away from negative or low-price periods and reducing curtailment exposure.
Unlock additional revenue streams by combining energy arbitrage with participation in balancing, ancillary services and capacity markets.
Reducing costs, capturing more value and unlocking new revenue streams.
