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 involves selectively transferring specific loads within a facility from the grid to an energy storage system. This process is accom-plished by disconnecting the power supply of a specific load(s) from Source A (typically the grid) and connecting them to Source B (an energy stor-age system).
It is essential to differentiate peak shaving from load shifting. Load shifting involves adjusting en-ergy consumption patterns or postponing electric-ity usage to a later time. Base Peak shaving, sometimes called load shedding, involves reducing the peak electricity demand to lower demand charges.
BESS is one of the most effective ways to achieve a sus-tainable future. The decision to adopt peak shaving as a strategy should be carefully assessed by consumers on a case-by-case basis. Peak shaving is particularly relevant in regions where Time-of-Use (TOU) rates are implemented by electric utilities and where demand charges are substantial.
