About Case Study
Smartecon partnered with Enscryb to assess where grid-scale battery energy storage systems and hybrid projects create the most value in the newly Continental Europe–synchronized Baltic market. Using a multi-stage, scenario-based techno-economic digital twin, the study modeled the full value stack - day-ahead and intraday energy markets, frequency containment reserve, automatic frequency restoration reserve, manual frequency restoration reserve, capacity and activation - at 15-minute granularity over multi-year horizons. The guided simulations produced transparent key performance indicators (revenues, net-load costs, state of charge and battery cycles) and event-level insight tied to liquidity shifts, interconnector limits, and operating policies.
Results show that, under today’s unsaturated Baltic conditions, battery storage projects have a positive near-term outlook without requiring prolonged modeling programs. As the market matures and begins to resemble more saturated European systems, scenario portfolios like these become increasingly valuable for right-sizing assets, setting dispatch policies, and planning portfolio roll-outs.
