From "Hardware Competition" to "Operation Victory": eTrader Power Trading Platform Drives Revenue Surge for Energy Storage Power Stations
Amid the wave of electric power marketization reform, competition in the energy storage industry has shifted from hardware rivalry to operation contest. As a powerful solution in the operation dimension, the eTrader Power Trading Platform by Origin Energy has delivered remarkable results.
01. Operation Performance:
Western Inner Mongolia and Ningxia Power Stations Rank High in Revenue
In March 2026, two energy storage power stations deeply empowered by the eTrader Power Trading Platform—Taiyao Xinchufeng Energy Storage Power Station in Western Inner Mongolia and an energy storage power station in Wuzhong, Ningxia—stood out among peer energy storage projects in their respective regions. Both achieved top-tier trading revenue, solidly demonstrating the robust strength of the eTrader platform with tangible results.
The 500MW/2000MWh Taiyao Xinchufeng Energy Storage Power Station in Western Inner Mongolia recorded a revenue 20% higher than the regional average after connecting to the eTrader platform.
Meanwhile, leveraging the intelligent empowerment of the eTrader platform, the 200MW/400MWh energy storage power station in Wuzhong, Ningxia secured a leading position in regional March trading revenue, with its revenue 25% above the regional average.
Spanning different regions and covering varied installed capacities, the two power stations have both achieved leading revenue performance. This fully verifies the strong adaptability and practical value of the eTrader Power Trading Platform across diverse market environments and project scales.
02. Trading Scale and Business Coverage
01 Business Coverage
The platform’s services have expanded to more than 10 core provincial power trading regions nationwide, providing in-depth support for multiple electric power spot pilot areas including Western Inner Mongolia and Ningxia, with continuous market expansion underway.
02 Installed Capacity
The total installed capacity of energy storage power stations connected to the platform exceeds 10GWh, covering projects of various scales such as 500MW/2000MWh and 200MW/400MWh. It can concurrently support trading and operation demands of large, medium and small-scale power stations. Capable of parallel trading across multiple power stations, regions and markets, the platform features large-scale, standardized and intelligent support for power trading and operation.
03. Behind the Outstanding Performance:
How eTrader Boosts Power Station Revenue
Impressive results are no coincidence. Against the backdrop of fully scaled-up electric power spot markets, where electricity prices fluctuate every 15 minutes with volatile 96-interval time-of-use pricing, traditional scheduling relying on manual experience can no longer cope with complex market changes.
Tailored for the new-type power market, the eTrader Power Trading Platform serves as a "core trading brain" for energy storage. Centered on AI agents, it differs from conventional AI assistants: it can proactively identify profit goals, independently break down and execute trading procedures, and realize cross-system linkage. Faced with market fluctuations and complex scenarios, it delivers autonomous analysis, optimization and problem-solving capabilities.
04. Three Core Engines to Build Intelligent Trading Barriers
1. Intelligent Trading Decision Engine
Powered by self-developed electricity price prediction models, load forecasting algorithms and market rule engines, it integrates massive historical market data, real-time supply-demand data and new energy output data. It automatically identifies optimal charging and discharging timing, accurately captures price spreads, optimizes revenue portfolios across multiple markets, and dynamically adjusts trading strategies in real time.
2. Unified Multi-Market Trading Platform
It fully supports electric power spot trading, medium and long-term transactions and auxiliary service markets, with reserved expansion interfaces for green power and carbon trading. The platform enables unified access to multiple markets, centralized revenue management and coordinated optimization of trading strategies, resolving the industry pain point of fragmented multi-market operations.
3. Full-Process Digital Operation System
Covering all trading scenarios, it provides a panoramic overview of regional power markets and one-click switching between trading regions. Based on 15-minute/96-interval multi-day electricity price forecasts, it accurately marks high-revenue time windows, supports one-click generation of intelligent daily reports, and enables precise accounting and multi-dimensional revenue review.
