The energy landscape is evolving fast. With dynamic pricing, virtual power plants (VPPs), and increasing renewable penetration, peak shaving is set to become even more essential. Future-ready energy storage systems will not just manage peaks—they'll: Choosing a partner with scalable, flexible, and certified systems is crucial.
Modern consumers actively seek cost-effective energy solutions and sustainable practices. This white paper explores peak shaving as an effective method to minimize energy costs. Energy and facility man-agers will gain valuable insights into how peak shaving applications can help unlock the full potential of energy storage systems.
Peak shaving can be accom-plished by activating on-site power generation sys-tems, such as diesel generators, or utilizing a bat-tery energy storage system. During peak shaving, the consumer's overall electricity consumption remains consistent, but a portion of their demand is met through the BESS instead of drawing power from the grid.
According to the results obtained in this study, more than the economic savings achieved by the peak shaving operation of the storage system is needed to compensate for the battery investment, considering the typical costs of industrial battery storage.
