With arbitrage, you earn money through price differences in the electricity market. This lesson shows how businesses and professionals profit from daily price fluctuations.
The Basic Principle
- Analyze: Check price forecast for tomorrow (available from 12:42)
- Charge: Fill battery during cheap hours (e.g., 2-5 AM)
- Wait: Hold energy in storage
- Use/Sell: Discharge during expensive hours (e.g., 6-8 PM)
Example: Commercial Operation
| Position | Value |
|---|---|
| Storage size | 100 kWh |
| Buy price (3 AM) | 5 ct/kWh = €5.00 |
| Use price (7 PM) | 35 ct/kWh = €35.00 |
| Spread (profit) | €30 per cycle |
| Monthly (30 days) | €900 |
| Yearly | €10,800 |
