The company envisions three specific revenue sources: arbitrage using price fluctuations in the electricity market, capacity market, and participation in the supply and demand adjustment market. We aim to maximize profits by switching between these three activities at any time depending on the situation.
In addition, potential future profit opportunities include the use of battery storage as a moderating force to compensate for surpluses and shortfalls in generation planning of renewable energy sources by controlling control the charging and discharging of storage batteries and use VPP (virtual power plant) which can also be used for distributed energy sources etc.
