European Value Stacker

Co-optimised multi-market trading for BESS in European electricity markets

European BESS revenue comes from combining day-ahead, intraday, and ancillary service markets intelligently. The European Value Stacker co-optimises across all of them — cycling selectively to maximise lifetime returns, not just today's revenue.

Market Coverage

Every layer of the European value stack, captured in one optimisation

Day-Ahead Auctions

Participates in European day-ahead auctions (EPEX, Nord Pool, OMIE and others). Optimal charge and discharge scheduling across 24 hours.

Intraday Continuous

Trades continuously on European intraday order books (XBID and equivalents), responding to price movements as they develop. Order timing and sizing are optimised to avoid market impact while capturing available spreads.

Intraday Auctions

Participates in European intraday auctions (e.g. EPEX IDA3, Nord Pool IDA) to refine the schedule closer to real time.

Ancillary Services

Co-optimised participation in frequency containment reserve (FCR), automatic frequency restoration reserve (aFRR), and other ancillary services where available for the asset's market area.

Multi-Country

Live in Germany and the Netherlands, with coverage expanding to further European markets. Market-specific constraints, auction schedules, and ancillary service rules are handled natively per country.

Selective Cycling

Maximise lifetime returns — not just today's cycle count

A higher cycle target does not automatically mean higher lifetime revenue. The right approach is selective cycling: avoiding low-value opportunities that consume finite cycle life, while acting decisively on large price spreads.

Crucially, energy market volatility may decline over time — so capturing today's high-value cycles is not just acceptable, it is strategically important. The aim is to maximise lifetime returns: act on high-value opportunities, pass on low-value ones.

Our 2025 German results illustrate this clearly: at 1 cycle per day, the European Value Stacker achieved 301 €/MW/cycle — 36% more than the next benchmark.

Not a Black Box

Open-Core

Built on the open-source LF Energy RTC-Tools framework. Every optimisation decision is auditable and explainable — no magic, no lock-in.

Fits Your Stack

Integrates via REST API into your existing systems. Use your own price forecasts or third-party providers; we enhance them and return optimised schedules and trade instructions.

Always Solves

Mathematical optimisation engines don't always converge to a feasible solution — or converge in time. Our proprietary low-level solver technology guarantees a solution on every auction and dispatch cycle, so your asset is never left without a schedule.

Proven in Europe

Live in Germany and the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, we delivered a 30% uplift in intraday trading revenue for a customer versus their prior approach. German results are benchmarked against published indices — see the 2025 performance data below.
