Avangrid, Tyba Complete Pilot to Advance Battery Energy Storage Systems - CleanTechnica

Avangrid, Inc., a major U.S. energy company and part of the Iberdrola Group, has successfully completed a pilot project with Tyba, an energy analytics and optimization platform, aimed at advancing battery energy storage system (BESS) development. The collaboration focused on enhancing Avangrid’s ability to model BESS operations, identify optimal locations for storage assets across seven regional U.S. power markets, and improve revenue forecasting for standalone and hybrid storage projects. Key innovations included using new pricing metrics to estimate potential BESS revenue based on daily electricity price volatility, enabling Avangrid to pinpoint sites with the greatest return on investment. Throughout the pilot, Avangrid leveraged Tyba’s platform to simulate battery operations under various market conditions, including real-time, day-ahead, and ancillary services markets. This allowed fine-tuning of charging and discharging strategies and running extensive scenario analyses tailored to different grid operators. The project helped build Avangrid’s internal expertise in the evolving U.S.
