Grid Balancing & Control Solutions
Make flexible assets ready for market activation
Flexible energy assets can create value when they can be monitored, controlled and activated at the right time. Value in terms of improved bottom line, pay-back periods, and high security of supply for the asset owner, and value in terms of grid balance for the TSO.
Inopower helps asset owners, utilities and energy partners connect physical energy infrastructure to the electricity markets. We make flexible assets ready for market activation — securely, reliably and with fast response.
Our Grid Balancing & Control Solutions are built around proven RTU technology and we have more than 20 years of experience. It enables remote control, real-time monitoring and integration with existing SCADA and control systems. That makes flexible assets ready for balancing, fast response and market participation. Our solution is qualified for participation in all markets; mFRR, aFRR, FCR, FFR, FCR-D and FCR-N and have VPP as well as PPC functionalities to optimize several different assets.

What are Ancillary Services?
The electrical grid must be kept in balance at all times. Production and consumption need to match – minute by minute, second by second.
Ancillary Services are used by transmission system operators (TSO) to help maintain that balance. Flexible assets can be activated to increase or reduce production and/or consumption when the grid needs to be balanced.
As the amount of electricity produced from renewable sources increases, the need for fast, controllable flexibility is growing. That creates opportunities for asset owners with infrastructure that can respond reliably to market and grid signals. With Inopowers Grid Balancing & Control Solutions your assets will be able to benefit from these opportunities.
From passive assets to active market value
Many energy assets already hold flexibility. The challenge is making that flexibility accessible and commercially valuable.
With Inopower's Grid Balancing & Control Solutions, assets can move from passive infrastructure to active resources that can respond to market signals, support grid balancing and create new revenue opportunities.
The value is created when physical assets can be:
- monitored in real time
- activated quickly
- integrated with existing systems
- connected to relevant market opportunities
The role of the Inopower Grid Balancing & Control Solutions
The Inopower Grid Balancing gateways and regulators are the connection between the physical assets and the electricity market.
Inopower’s Grid Balancing & Control Solutions enable real-time communication, monitoring and high-speed regulation, making assets flexible and responsive - ready for grid interaction.
The solution can be used with Inopower E-boilers, but it is not limited to boiler installations alone. It can also support other controllable assets where flexibility can be activated without compromising operations.
Inopower provides technology, configuration and integration that make assets technically ready for market activation. We prepare data and conduct the pre-qualifications test as specified by the TSO. Commercial market participation is typically handled in collaboration with the customer, energy partner and/or balance responsible party.
Flexible assets we can help activate
Inopower Grid Balancing & Control Solutions can support a range of controllable energy assets. The key requirement is that flexibility can be activated without compromising operations.
E-boilers
Fast-response electric heat and steam assets that can support production or heat supply while participating in Ancillary Services markets.
BESS
Battery Energy Storage Systems with potential for fast response, balancing and market activation including peak-shaving.
Solar and wind
Renewable energy assets that can create more value when combined with flexible load, storage or controllable infrastructure.
Heavy-consuming industry assets
Large electric loads, cooling, heating, steam or process assets that can provide flexibility when operations allow it.
Data centres and charging infrastructure
Energy-intensive assets where uptime, load management and grid interaction must be handled carefully.
From setup of Grid Balancing gateway to market-ready activation
Getting an asset ready for participating in the Ancillary Services markets requires more than hardware. It requires the right configuration, integration, testing and collaboration between the asset owner, Inopower and the relevant energy partner.
- Assess the asset: Identify whether the asset has the right flexibility potential, energy volume and operational tolerance.
- Configure the Grid Balancing gateway: Set up the gateway with the required software, communication and control logic.
- Integrate with existing systems: Connect the asset to SCADA, control systems and relevant market interfaces.
- Test and approval: Support testing, documentation, and approval so the asset can be activated reliably.
- Activate flexibility: Make the asset ready to respond to market and grid signals through Ancillary Services.
Your benefits with Grid Balancing & Control Solutions
Market access for flexible assets
Inopower makes flexible energy assets ready for participation in Grid Balancing & Control Solutions. With control, real-time monitoring and secure communication, physical assets can be connected to the electricity market and activated when flexibility is needed.
