Evolution of business models for energy storage systems in Europe
As energy storage systems become less expensive and competition grows, trading strategies gain in complexity. Until recently, energy storage systems in Europe relied on "traditional" revenues that were mostly reliant on frequency control services such as the Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) in countries like France or Germany.
