The Mobility House Energy is strengthening the platform of technology company terralayr as one of three leading European optimizers for battery flexibility. Operators of battery storage systems who market their assets via terralayr gain direct access to The Mobility House Energy’s many years of trading expertise – without having to build their own integrations or trading infrastructure.
At the heart of the collaboration is terralayr’s “Enhanced Trading of Flexibility - ETF” approach. Instead of relying on a single trading strategy, storage operators can spread their capacity across multiple strategies and optimizers, much like a portfolio. The Mobility House Energy contributes to this multi-optimizer model with the experience it has built up over many years in trading stationary battery storage systems and electric vehicles.
Tangible benefits for battery storage operators
For terralayr customers and battery storage operators, the integration of The Mobility House Energy offers the following key benefits:
· Access to top-tier trading expertise
Storage operators can have their assets optimized by three leading European battery optimizers - without having to set up their own trading teams or complex market connections.
· Improved risk–return profile
The Mobility House Energy’s trading strategies for day-ahead, intraday, primary and secondary reserve markets are embedded into terralayr’s ETF approach alongside the strategies of two other optimizers. This reduces revenue volatility and limits the risk of being dependent on a single market position.
· Trading of unused capacity as well
Via terralayr’s flexibility platform, The Mobility House Energy gains fast access to virtual battery storage capacity (BESS) that can be flexibly scaled and traded on different markets. As a “designated optimizer”, The Mobility House Energy not only handles the optimization of the allocated capacity, but also ensures that unsold capacity is still placed on the markets. In this way, The Mobility House Energy and terralayr help asset owners better secure minimum market revenues.
· Lower integration effort
Storage systems are connected to the terralayr platform once. The connection to The Mobility House Energy is made virtually via this interface – no additional technical integration is required on the asset side.
· Gentler battery usage
By combining different schedules and leveraging so-called netting-off effects, unnecessary cycles are avoided. This reduces stress on the battery and supports a longer economic lifetime of the storage systems.
Years of experience in trading battery flexibility
The Mobility House Energy is one of the pioneers in optimizing batteries in the European energy market. The company brings together more than a decade of experience in trading large-scale stationary storage systems, second-life systems and fleets of electric vehicles. Building on this foundation, The Mobility House Energy develops data-driven, market-oriented trading strategies that consistently take technical constraints and manufacturer requirements into account.
Through the cooperation with terralayr, this expertise is now also available to battery storage operators who optimize their assets via the LAYR platform. They gain easy access to professional risk and revenue management for battery storage.
"We are bringing ten years of experience in marketing battery flexibility – from large stationary storage systems to electric vehicles – into this partnership. Asset owners on LAYR benefit from our deep technical understanding of assets, our knowledge of battery ageing and our clear focus on multi-market trading strategies. Together with terralayr, we translate this know-how into more stable cash flows and more efficient use of every single MWh of storage capacity."
