Peak shaving
The storage discharges during short peak moments and thus reduces the billable power, provided your tariff has a relevant demand charge.
A battery storage system only pays off when load profile, tariff, grid connection, PV and operating strategy fit together. WERAX reviews this data and organises a feasible storage project from it.
The storage discharges during short peak moments and thus reduces the billable power, provided your tariff has a relevant demand charge.
Solar power is shifted in time and used when production, charging infrastructure or building systems need it.
Fleet and fast charging create simultaneity. Storage and load management can ease the grid connection and power costs.
Depending on the design, the storage supports operational stability, backup-power concepts or additional monetisation – always depending on grid and project.
kW describes the power: how strongly the storage can absorb a peak. kWh describes the capacity: how long that power is available. A project is well sized when power, capacity, charging windows and operating strategy match the real load profile.
For an initial assessment we ideally need 15-minute load-profile data, the power bill, tariff information, existing PV capacity, planned charging points and details of the grid connection.
Upload dataStorage is not automatically worthwhile. If the demand charge is low, peaks are rare, the grid connection is adequately sized or no sensible operating strategy is apparent, we say so openly. The goal is not the largest possible battery, but an economically sound solution.
No blanket promises: the calculation is based on your load profile, your tariff and your project goals.
