What are balancing services and grid revenue programmes?
Balancing services are the mechanisms in place to ensure the grid comfortably operates at the correct frequency.
To successfully implement balancing services, the grid operator incentivises energy intensive companies with additional revenues for adjusting their power consumption. These adjustments must happen at the point the frequency deviates from the set parameters to accommodate fluctuations in the supply and demand of electricity on the grid. The faster a site can respond to grid signals, typically the better the returns, which is why it’s imperative to use sophisticated technology that also takes into consideration operational constraints.
Financial benefits with absolute peace of mind
The financial and operational benefits for participating companies can be very significant.
These mechanisms are good news for energy intensive commercial businesses. They offer a generous, long-term additional income streams to companies that are willing to participate in flexibility programmes. All the while, by working with a technology and engineering expert like GridBeyond, your business can enjoy absolute peace of mind that your operations will remain uninterrupted.
