External signal
Gridual
Supported steering: batteries, PV, imbalance market
Gridual is an external energy partner that operates the connected assets by sending steering signals to the EMS. Gridual optimizes per site rather than per portfolio: it continuously weighs the value of a market trade against the cost the site avoids by consuming the energy locally.
