Kommerzieller Wedge

Wedge A · Dispatch decision support for BESS / energy communities proposed

Kunde

Stadtwerke, Mieterstrom / gemeinschaftliche Gebäudeversorgung operators, small BESS operators

Problem

Batteries and community assets run on rule-based schedules that leave money on the table against day-ahead / intraday prices and §42b allocation rules.

Was es sie heute kostet

Unknown until asked — the first ten conversations quantify it. Hypothesis: 5–15 % of achievable storage revenue.

Bauen

optimize_dispatch on the existing MILP · validate_constraints (SoC, power, grid connection) · generate_explanation in German · weekly PDF/CSV recommendation, € gap vs their schedule

Nicht bauen

any write path to inverters or BMS · a portal · multi-tenant UI · new forecasting models before a baseline

ROI-Metrik

€ per month vs the customer's own schedule, measured on their data, reported with the assumptions listed.

Einstieg

Energie Teilen paid intake (Stripe) → data-sharing agreement → four-week recommendation trial.

Entscheidung

D-009

Wedge B · Time-to-power / behind-the-meter siting analysis proposed

Kunde

Data-centre and industrial developers (US first via EIA data)

Problem

Grid connection lead times decide project viability; developers pay for defensible BTM scenarios.

Was es sie heute kostet

Cost of delay per MW-month — the calculator exists; the price the buyer pays for the answer does not yet.

Bauen

nothing new until wedge A has a customer or B has an inbound paying user

Nicht bauen

EU data integration before a paying US user

ROI-Metrik

Subscription revenue; months of delay avoided as reported by the buyer.

Einstieg

timetopower.ai subscription (exists).

Wedge C · Constraint prediction / hosting capacity for DSOs proposed

Kunde

DSOs, Stadtwerke network arms

Problem

Connection requests are refused or delayed for lack of feeder-level constraint forecasts.

Was es sie heute kostet

Long sales cycle, procurement, NIS2 scope. Not the first wedge.

Bauen

nothing before A is sold

Nicht bauen

DSO integrations on speculation

ROI-Metrik

Connections approved per feeder per year; engineering hours per request.

Einstieg

Warm DSO contact only after A produces a reference.
