Challenges

From Connected to Profitable

Most CPOs today have already made the move - or are about to - to deploy on-site battery storage. But connecting and running a co-located BESS efficiently is rarely straightforward. Two challenges stand between a battery on paper and a profitable, compliant system in operation.

Connecting & Controlling

Integrate your BESS without losing control. Every charger, battery, and grid interface speaks a different technical language. To co-locate a BESS, you need a system that bridges them all - without vendor lock-in.

warning

Optimising

Make the numbers work. Even once connected, a battery used for only one purpose - whether peak shaving, boosting, or arbitrage - rarely delivers the ROI to justify the investment.
The real value comes from combining multiple use cases and market opportunities.

Let’s change that

The Solution

Connect & control any BESS

Thanks to a state-of-the-art architecture and abstraction layer that
we have developed, you can easily connect & control any BESS
brands of your choice.

Improve the ROI with Value Stacking

Once your BESS is connected and under control, the real optimisation begins. Thanks to the HARMON-E platform, every kilowatt can serve more than one purpose - maximising both operational and financial performance. We call it Value Stacking.

Value Stacking means combining multiple use cases so your co-located BESS creates value every hour of the day - not just during charging peaks.

Instead of running a battery in isolation, HARMON-E orchestrates it dynamically across all available opportunities:

DNO Curtailment

Automatically adjust site consumption when requested by the grid operator, ensuring compliance and grid-friendly operation

BESS-based Peak Shaving

Limit grid draw during high-demand moments to avoid costly power fees.

Tariff Arbitrage:

Charge when prices are low, discharge when prices spike.

Frame-3

Flexibility & Ancillary Markets

Earn additional revenues by supporting grid stability (FCR, FFR, aFRR, etc.).

Each use case contributes part of the business case — but together, they unlock the full return on investment.

BESS-based 
Peak shaving

Reduce your grid draw during high-demand periods and avoid costly power fees. Our intelligent control discharges the battery precisely when site load exceeds your grid limit, maintaining stability and cutting operational costs - without compromising charging performance or user experience.

Arbitrage

Set a schedule for the BESS, including desired SOC at time of day, and periods of discharge to cope with demand.
Data points on 24h ahead electricity prices and historical load profiles are available to enable data driven decision making.

Flexibility & Ancillary Services

Turn your co-located BESS into an active grid asset. When not powering your site, the system supports the grid through frequency response and curtailment programs — unlocking new revenue streams while maintaining full operational control and compliance with market and DNO requirements. Profit from flexibility, effortlessly.
