As I see the graph, it doesn't so much maximize revenue but rather works its *** off to stabilize the grid.
At the left it alternates generation and load while the price is pretty much stable.
When the price drops rock bottom it does charge, but at varying rates.
so far so good.

Then, some time before the price goes positive again, it starts generating power!
At a loss. Because it has already seen the upcoming demand and is playing in on it?

It would have been easy to not do that and maximize profit.
I really think it does good there.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
