Dynamic electricity prices
Take advantage of dynamic electricity tariffs and turn price fluctuations into your advantages. With the intelligent energy management system that uses the Voltfang Energy Trader, you save automatically by always charging the battery storage system at favorable electricity prices. Your electricity requirements are covered by clever discharging of the battery storage system – perfect for companies with high energy requirements and flexible consumption times.
Why use battery storage with dynamic electricity prices?
Dynamic electricity prices offer enormous savings potential through hourly rate fluctuations. To take full advantage of this, a battery storage system is essential. It stores electricity purchased at low rates and releases it when prices are higher. Without a storage system, consumption would have to be manually shifted to times when rates are lower, which is often not feasible. A smart battery storage system handles this task automatically and optimizes electricity consumption based on the best price signals. This provides operational flexibility.

Automated cost optimization with the Voltfang Energy Trader
What sets the Energy Trader apart is its combination of real-time data processing and AI optimization: It uses EPEX’s day-ahead market prices, which are published daily at noon, to create the optimal schedule for the next 24 hours. To do this, it also generates comprehensive forecasts for consumption and generation. The Energy Trader updates the schedule every 15 minutes, taking into account various battery states such as self-consumption optimization, delayed discharge, or active charging from the grid.
Clear Advantage
The Energy Trader can reduce electricity procurement costs by up to 40%by reacting to market prices and adjusting battery operation through:
- Charging from the grid during periods of low electricity prices
- Delaying discharge until electricity prices rise
Other use cases, such as optimizing self-consumption or peak load shaving, can still be implemented by the battery storage system’s energy management system.
Advantages of dynamic electricity prices and storage
Lower electricity costs through dynamic electricity pricing
through smart storage utilization
Automated Optimization Based on Electricity Prices
Store excess power instead of curtailing it
Which types of businesses are suited for a dynamic electricity tariff?
Dynamic electricity tariffs are particularly interesting for companies with high energy requirements that cannot flexibly adjust their electricity consumption to hourly electricity prices, but could benefit from fluctuating prices. A combination with a battery storage system is advisable here. Industrial companies, data centers or retail stores can therefore use a battery storage system to make targeted use of cheap electricity phases and thus save considerable costs.
