Balancing Group and Balancing Energy: Why Storage Projects Lose Economic Viability During Operation

Benefits of Furo

Your storage system becomes an active part of your energy strategy.

The load profile that the utility uses for planning is changing.

The utility procures electricity in advance based on historical consumption. The storage system charges during off-peak hours and discharges during peak hours, causing the actual grid draw to deviate from the forecast. This deviation results in balancing energy costs, which are passed on to the customer through the bill.

What the dynamic rate offers and what it might take away

A dynamic tarif instead of a fixed one reduces electricity costs. The bulk of the savings comes from optimizing electricity purchases: charging when electricity is cheap. The full potential is realized through the combination of both measures. However, if the utility does not factor in the storage system, balancing energy is required, which offsets a portion of the savings.

Submission of the Storage Schedule

Optimization by Furo, supply by the right partner.
Furo operates independently of utility providers: We manage the storage system, while our partner handles supply, the balancing group, and marketing — all tailored to optimization. Upon request, we can provide the right partner right away; a blind provider switch is not necessary.

„The great added value of Furo from our perspective is that, after the simulation, we can show customers the virtual battery and give them a direct insight through the platform into what is possible for them in terms of optimization. This way, the customer has only one supplier for sizing and optimization."

„What would be an absolute dream scenario for us — and where we perhaps already have an inkling of where Furo is headed — is to truly have it as a holistic tool that is continuously developed further, from system planning and sizing through profitability calculation, the marketing interface and the integration of the energy management system, all the way to live data from storage systems. A tool that lets us really cover everything."

"With our open-source-based energy management system FEMS, featuring schedule generation based on generation and consumption forecasts and multi-use capability, we can unlock significant added value compared to conventional battery energy management combinations. The challenge was to find and implement a planning tool that could also comprehensively capture and map these possibilities. I'm delighted that we landed on Furo and can now give our partners the perfect tool to work with."

FAQs

Questions? We have answers!

Furo is a hardware-agnostic software platform — compatible with any battery storage system. Plan your project for economic viability, start with the virtual battery even before commissioning, and optimize operation and energy trading from day one. All seamlessly in one platform.

Furo generates daily 24h forecasts for prices, consumption and weather, derives optimal dispatch schedules from them, and controls charging and discharging fully automatically. Connection to energy suppliers and direct marketers included.

Furo is hardware-agnostic and works with various storage manufacturers and control technology. Which hardware is specifically in use is best clarified in a short demo call.

The virtual battery simulates the real-time operation of your battery storage system — even before it goes into operation. Instead of historical average values, it uses real market and load forecasts to show daily what your storage system would have earned today.

Furo continuously evaluates all use cases (e.g. self-consumption, peak shaving, dynamic tariffs, flexibility marketing) and automatically decides where the storage system currently delivers the highest value.
