Grey Power BESS: Standalone, Wind & PV — FCR, aFRR & Spot Arbitrage without EEG

This analysis compares grid-connected battery storage across three scenarios: as a pure standalone BESS, as a BESS with dispatch optimized to wind generation profiles, and with PV profiles — each without EEG direct marketing (grey power). Revenue sources are FCR, aFRR, and day-ahead/intraday arbitrage. Across all three scenarios, 5 MW · 5 MWh (1C rate) is the optimal configuration.
