Ok, lets start with the day ahead market.
- The ‘look ahead’ window jumps from about half a day to one and a half day around 13:00 when new prices roll in.
- On many days the ‘midday low price’ window runs somewhere between 10:00 and 17:00
- Every morning DESS trade plans to charge the battery midday but only to the level that it knows it can sell back profitably within it’s known look ahead window, which is upto midnight that same day until the new prices roll in.
- Therefore DESS typically misses the opportunity to charge up much more in the late morning, not aware of the sell opportunity the next day early morning.
- And by the time to the new prices roll in, it’s too late obviously.
So my question is, how can DESS be made aware that there is a reasonable and quite stable additional sell opportunity within the next 24 hours, in the morning?
Like right now, DESS is missing 2,5 hours of low price charging opportunity
