Architectural and Requirements Consulting; Marketing of Large-Scale Battery Storage Systems
Brief description
PTA is supporting an energy trading firm as a strategic partner for architecture and product management in developing a platform to market large-scale battery storage systems on the electricity markets. As an independent third party, PTA contributes architecture and engineering expertise, prepares the requirements and architecture documentation, designs the integration into the existing IT landscape, and facilitates technical and architectural workshops involving trading, billing, and IT teams.
Supplement
The implementation follows an MVP approach with a clearly defined target date. At the core of the solution is an optimizer written in Python that optimizes the use of battery storage systems across all markets (balancing power, balancing energy, day-ahead, intraday) while taking physical and regulatory constraints into account. In the future, a master optimizer will aggregate multiple battery storage systems and transparently allocate trading results to the individual storage systems. Market and trading connectivity is provided via the API of a third-party trading platform. The data is stored in an Oracle database and integrated into the existing billing infrastructure. As technical recommendations, the PTA provides a Git workflow, a logging concept, DevOps fundamentals (environments, CI/CD, containerization), and an assessment of security requirements using a business impact analysis.
Subject description
The goal is to create a robust technical and architectural foundation to automate the marketing of large-scale battery storage systems across all relevant electricity markets in a stable, scalable, and maintainable manner. The solution optimizes battery utilization within physical and regulatory constraints and enables transparent billing of trading results that is traceable to each battery storage system. The architecture is service-oriented and designed to accommodate growing business volumes.
