As energy demands fluctuate throughout the day, businesses often face high electricity costs during peak consumption periods. Peak-shaving, facilitated by Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), offers a strategic solution to mitigate these costs and enhance grid stability.
Peak-shaving involves reducing the amount of energy drawn from the grid during periods of high demand. By utilising stored energy from BESS during these peak times, businesses can lower their peak demand charges and alleviate stress on the grid.
Dale Power Solutions' BESS enables effective peak-shaving through the following process:
Charging During Off-Peak Hours: The BESS charges using electricity from the grid or renewable sources when demand and rates are low.
Discharging During Peak Hours: During high-demand periods, the BESS discharges the stored energy to supply the facility's needs, reducing reliance on the grid.
Cycle Repetition: This charge-discharge cycle repeats daily, optimising energy usage and cost savings.
This approach not only reduces electricity bills but also contributes to a more balanced and efficient energy grid.
