As more storage comes online, competition increases in comparatively shallow ancillary services markets.

Choosing the right automated bid optimization software can often make the difference between profit and loss. </p></div><div class="blog-card_description w-condition-invisible w-dyn-bind-empty

As more storage comes online, competition increases in comparatively shallow ancillary services markets. Maximizing asset value requires complex state-of-charge (SOC) management decisions and difficult choices of how and when to participate in ancillaries or energy across day-ahead and real-time markets. Choosing the right automated bid optimization software can often make the difference between profit and loss. </p></div><div class="blog-card_buttons"><a
