AI optimization engine

The AI brain behind your battery

The optimization engine reads EPEX SPOT every 15 minutes, models a 4-hour price forecast, and issues dispatch commands via encrypted API — never taking your battery below 20% SOC.

Built specifically for the German energy market

Price forecasting (4-hour window)

Our model ingests EPEX SPOT day-ahead and intraday prices, renewable forecast data from ENTSO-E, and historical dispatch patterns to generate a 4-hour price outlook refreshed every 15 minutes.

Dispatch latency under 60 seconds

From market signal received to inverter command issued in under 60 seconds. The edge agent runs on-site, so a cloud connectivity blip never strands your battery mid-cycle.

EPEX SPOT intraday + day-ahead

Connected to both the continuous intraday market and the day-ahead auction. Day-ahead bids are placed automatically; intraday positions are updated throughout the trading session.

FCR prequalification automated

encosa manages the weekly ENTSO-E FCR tender submission for your battery's capacity share. Prequalification paperwork and annual re-testing coordination are included in Pro and Enterprise plans.

Demand peak detection

Load forecasting from your smart meter feed predicts 15-minute peak events up to 2 hours in advance — enough lead time to begin discharging before the peak occurs and flatten your Leistungspreis reading.

Multi-stream stacking without conflicts

FCR requires a symmetrical SOC band (40–60%). The AI keeps that reserved while simultaneously trading the available capacity above and below in spot and peak-shaving modes. No manual switching required.

GDPR-ready Data processing hosted in Germany. Retention policy and DPA available on request. See Security.

The dashboard shows real-time SOC with 15-minute history, per-stream revenue accumulation for the current month, and a replay view of any historical dispatch window overlaid with the EPEX SPOT price curve it was optimizing against. No black box — every decision is auditable.
