Battery energy systems and co-location with renewables

As renewable generation continues to grow in Denmark, market participants are increasingly exposed to price volatility, negative price hours and lower capture rates. Co-locating battery energy storage systems (BESS) with wind or solar assets is one approach being explored to better manage these market conditions.

In this session, streamed live from Danish Energy Day, Søren Rygaard and Jakob Krogshave from Danske Commodities will share perspectives from two decades of trading and asset management experience in the Danish power market. The presentation will focus on practical considerations, commercial drivers and operational challenges linked to co-location strategies.

Themes covered in the presentation

• Market developments in Denmark and their impact on renewable revenues
• The role of BESS in managing surplus generation and price exposure
• Commercial and operational considerations when co-locating storage with renewables
• Participation across day-ahead, intraday and balancing markets

What you will learn

• How co-location can help manage exposure to negative prices
• Approaches to improving capture rates in a high-renewables system
• Key factors to assess when evaluating hybrid asset setups

Who should attend

Energy asset owners, renewable developers, producers, suppliers, investors and large commercial consumers interested in understanding how battery storage can be integrated alongside renewable assets in the Danish market.
