Dynamic ESS Spain now supports PVPC price for Red Electrica

Dynamic ESS now supports PVPC prices for different regions of Spain for customers of Red Eléctrica.

To try it out, simply select ‘Spain’ as your country and ‘Red Eléctrica’ as your provider. Select where in Spain you reside in the ‘Bidding zone’ dropdown.

Your price formula will now take Red Eléctrica’s base price as ‘P’. Add or subtract any taxes and or costs related to your sell or buy energy contract.

Any feedback on this feature is welcome :pray: !

Hello,

Thank you very much for this improvement, it’s a really useful feature. I would like to know if you have any plans to add indexed prices for Spain as part of the available price options in the future.

Thanks again for your hard work!

Hello Barbara.

I can’t select the country (I explained it in Can't switch to dynamic prices on DESS - #2 by Swapper ), who can help me?

There is something wrong with DESS and Spain prices: Video

Hola @Swapper ,

Thank you for mentioning that Red Electrica has disappeared from the list of Spanish providers. I’ll check with the team where it went.

Kind regards,

Barbara

Hello Barbara.

The problem isn’t limited to the Spanish supplier, Red Electrica. Depending on the country selection made previously, sometimes none of the Spanish suppliers appear.

Once a Spanish supplier is selected for energy purchases, if dynamic prices are also selected for energy sales, the graph doesn’t display the sales prices (it shows the same sales and purchase prices).

It seems that there is a problem obtaining prices from a supplier that affects the ability to select suppliers or the correct display of dynamic purchase and sale prices.

Beest Regards.

Hi @Swapper ,

You should be able to select Red Electrica as an energy provider in Dynamic ESS again!

Hi @Barbara

I can select Red Electrica as energy provider, but the sell price is all day the same as the buy price, this is not correct:

Hi,

In the DESS configuration you can adjust the price formula for both. If you for instance need to pay 9% tax over selling your energy, you can make the formula Px1.09.

Hi.

I’m not sure I understand you.

When I select “Red Electrica” ​​as the buy prices supplier:

the graph shows these buy prices:

which is the PVPC rate, which can be viewed on the esios website (green line)

So, the Red Electrica buy prices shown by Victron DESS are the PVPC rate buy prices, without a formula.

But when I active the sell prices (with same configuration as buy prices), DESS does not show the same sell prices as the blue line of my last capture , why?,a formula would not be needed since the sell prices are shown on ESIOS page (like the buy prices)

Best Regards.

Hi Swapper, it’s been a while since this post.

I just wanted to ask whether you managed to set the OMIE selling prices in ESS Dynamic. I’m having the same problem, and the only solution I can see is to manually enter the PVPC - OMIE difference using a small formula every day, since the differences vary so much.

Hello Barbara,

I’ve just set up a Victron system in Spain. When trying to configure the DESS pricing, I could only find in Spain the “P” related to PVPC prices. But I didn’t manage to find the spot market pricing (OMIE). Is it available for Spain?

Searching, I found that, in the past, the spot market pricing was available. But it seems it was replaced by the PVPC. Could be possible to have again available also the spot market (OMIE) as reference? It can be obtained easily from the esios API.

It looks for me that after this post the pricing was changed from spot market to PVPC: Request to the DESS Developer Team. Energy price Spain PVPC - VictronEnergy

Many people have the PVPC pricing, but also many people have the price indexed to spot marked (OMIE). Ideally both should be available.

Thanks for your help on this and for the job done.
