Encavis Launches AI-Optimized Battery Storage in Germany

Encavis AG, a Hamburg-based operator of wind and solar parks, has partnered with Entrix to optimize its first 24 MWh battery storage system in Hettstedt, Saxony-Anhalt using AI technology. The system, with a 12 MW output, aims to enhance flexibility and optimize economic performance across various electricity markets, including balancing energy, day-ahead, and intraday markets.

Entrix's AI-driven strategy integrates real-time market data, storage status, and technical framework to maximize returns.
