Logistics & cold stores
Conveyors, refrigeration, forklift charging, air curtains and fleet charging create predictable but high peaks. Storage smooths these loads and supports charging infrastructure.
Applications
Storage for sites with measurable peaks.
Battery storage delivers value where load profiles are volatile, PV generation does not coincide with consumption, or charging infrastructure creates new power peaks.
Industries
Where storage typically works.
Production & industry
Machine start-ups, compressors, presses, welding processes, cooling and shift starts can cause short peaks. The key is analysing the real 15-minute values.
Commercial & real estate
PV roofs, heat pumps, charging parks and mixed user profiles make sites complex. Storage helps to better manage self-consumption and grid draw.
Fleets & depots
Electric vans, trucks or service fleets often charge at the same time. Storage and load management shift power into the charging windows without oversizing the connection.
PV-intensive sites
When a lot is generated at midday but consumed in the morning, evening or at night, storage can increase self-consumption and structure grid draw.
Campus & infrastructure projects
Multiple consumers, charge points and generators come together at one site. WERAX assesses how storage, EMS and grid connection work together.
Suitability
Three questions decide the potential.
- 01Are there short, high peaks? Sites where a few peaks determine the demand charge are especially interesting.
- 02Is there flexibility in consumption? Storage becomes more valuable when charging windows, PV generation or operating hours can be actively controlled.
- 03Is the grid connection a cost or time factor? When an upgrade is expensive, slow or difficult, storage can create strategic value.
Not automatically worthwhile
Top advice also means: declining cleanly.
If a site pays little demand charge, has a very even load profile or the battery would rarely work, storage may not be economical. That is why WERAX starts with data rather than a standard size.
