Storage is unusual among energy assets because the same megawatt-hour of capacity can be sold into several markets across a day. Captured correctly, these streams stack; captured carelessly, they collide. Orchestration software exists precisely to referee them.
The stack, layer by layer
- Energy arbitrage: charge cheap (midday solar trough), discharge dear (evening peak).
- Demand-charge reduction: shave the site's monthly peak to cut network charges.
- FCAS: sell frequency-control services to AEMO, often the highest-value layer.
- Network and VPP services: be dispatched to support the local grid as part of a fleet.
Why orchestration is the asset
The hardware is increasingly a commodity; the value sits in the dispatch logic that decides, second by second, which market to serve. That is the same logic that lets thousands of small home batteries behave as one virtual power plant — and it is where the durable margin in storage now lives.
We size storage against your actual revenue stack, not a brochure cycle count, so the asset is busy earning every day of its warranted life.
