Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Tyba (Tyba Energy) operates a software platform used by developers, owners and operators of battery energy storage systems (BESS) to optimize projects from initial design through live operation. The platform covers four stages: modeling thousands of project configurations to identify an optimal design, developing bidding strategies and risk tolerances from market price forecasts, deploying dispatch strategies with real-time optimization for operating assets, and managing optimization across multiple assets and markets as a portfolio grows.

Core product components include configurable project simulations that project production and commercial outcomes, AI-generated price forecasts with confidence intervals for day-ahead and real-time market products, and automated execution of daily bidding strategies that balance ancillary services with energy arbitrage. Customers can use the system either as an automated "auto-pilot" or as a control center in which their own team retains decision-making. Published case studies cover ERCOT and CAISO, including standalone storage assets and a co-located wind-plus-storage project sharing a single point of interconnection.

Business model

Software platform sold to energy storage developers, owners and operators, positioned as an all-in-one bidding, dispatch and optimization system for storage portfolios.

Traction

The company reports more than 6 GWh of assets under management, revenue uplift of over 50% relative to existing operations, and revenue outcomes in the top 5% for operating storage assets. Case studies describe a May 2024 ERCOT month in which its balanced energy and ancillary services approach produced net revenue in the top 5% of ERCOT assets and outperformed top assets by up to 40%; an August 2, 2024 CAISO day where forecasts and bid strategy captured over $50,000, including $34,000 in a single hour; a co-located wind-plus-storage project netting $16/kW-month and 22% higher revenue than the median ERCOT asset; and a November 10, 2024 price spike during which a 40 MW BESS discharged at full capacity and generated $24,000 in a 15-minute period.

Latest developments

The company published a news item titled "CEO Michael Baker on Tyba's Series A" dated 2025-02-06, alongside ongoing market research output such as an analysis of ERCOT storage performance three months after RTC+B.
