A battery doesn't earn from one market, it earns from the best market, block by block, all day. Sparko forecasts and bids across all of them.
The base market. Bids for tomorrow clear once, around midday, for every 15-minute block. This is where Sparko sets the day's core charge/discharge plan.
Rolling auctions that gate every 15 minutes on the delivery day. Sparko uses it to chase intraday price spikes and to recover any day-ahead bids that didn't clear.
A day-ahead market for renewable energy. Relevant for green-linked storage and assets that want to trade clean power at a premium.
A scarcity segment with a higher price ceiling, used when the system is tight. Sparko forecasts whether it will clear and positions the battery for the upside.
Getting paid to stand ready. SRAS (secondary) responds automatically to grid frequency; TRAS (tertiary) is dispatched on instruction. Batteries are ideal, fast, precise, always on.
Not a market to trade, a penalty to avoid. Deviating from schedule is charged (or paid) against grid frequency. Tighter forecasting keeps a battery inside the penalty-free band.
When the grid can't move power freely between regions, prices separate by area. The premium between your area's clearing price and the national market clearing price is a real, forecastable edge, Sparko predicts where and when the grid will split, so the battery is on the right side of the constraint.
Indian power prices are among the most volatile in the world. Sparko's forecasting is validated on multi-year market data and benchmarked against deep-learning and foundation models, the numbers below are what makes the optimiser worth trusting.
Figures are backtested on historical cleared prices and vary with market conditions.
