Modelling BESS dispatch with confidence across hybrid PV projects

Aukera is a BESS-led independent power producer (IPP) developing, building, and operating renewable energy and battery storage assets across the UK, Germany, Italy, Romania, and Belgium. 

In our interview, Eduardo Gonzalez, Head of Solar Engineering at Aukera Energy, shared how his team used to piece together data from different folders and teams — from the development team to land surveyors — just to run a proper LCOE analysis, a process that could take weeks and created real friction across the whole team. With RatedPower, the team now works from a single source of truth, expediting processes that used to slow every new project down. 

"One of the key features we're using is the software's capacity to simulate dispatching in a hybrid project with PV and BESS: you can upload your own electricity prices and simulate with your own data, which helps a lot to validate and optimise our base designs." — Eduardo Gonzalez, Head of Solar Engineering at Aukera Energy 

🔍 What you’ll learn from their story: 

• How Aukera Energy replaced scattered Excel files and GIS data with one centralised platform

• How RatedPower's dispatching simulation helps validate and optimise hybrid PV and BESS designs 

• Why faster LCOE optimisation freed up Aukera's engineering team for other tasks across the project lifecycle 

• How an intuitive platform and a supportive team make onboarding new users straightforward 

• How documents generated automatically throughout the development phase help expedite the process even further
