4 FAQs about Peak-shifting energy storage solution

What is peak shaving & load shifting?

Peak shaving and load shifting are two essential energy management strategies that help businesses and households reduce electricity costs, improve energy efficiency, and support grid stability. These strategies are especially powerful when combined with battery energy storage systems (BESS). What is Peak Shaving?

What is load shifting?

Load shifting is the process of moving electricity consumption from peak periods to off-peak periods, typically when electricity is cheaper and grid demand is lower. A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) enables this by charging during off-peak times and discharging during peak times. Example:

Why is energy storage important in grid balancing?

Energy storage technology plays an important role in grid balancing, particularly for peak shaving and load shifting, due to the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources such as solar energy and their inherent intermittency and unpredictability.

What is peak shaving?

Peak shaving, also known as load shedding, refers to the practice of reducing electricity usage during periods of high demand to avoid expensive demand charges and peak-hour electricity rates. It's an effective way to manage energy costs, especially for industrial and commercial users.
