Energy storage systems play a vital role in the use of electrical energy, ensuring continuity of energy supply and increasing system reliability by providing superior energy management technology.

Innovative energy storage systems that aid in frequency regulation can reduce utilities' reliance on fossil fuel power plants and shift to more sustainable models over time.

Characteristics of Industrial and Commercial Energy Storage Systems

1. Using lithium batteries as energy storage devices, through the local and remote EMS management system, complete the balance and optimization of power supply and power demand among the grid, battery, and load;

2. Convenient access to new energy equipment such as photovoltaics, bringing application value in peak and valley power consumption, distribution network capacity expansion, and power safety;

3. As a core node to realize the access of the smart grid.

Commercial and industrial energy storage systems are used for energy management in industrial and commercial businesses and are sized according to actual needs (capacities ranging from 20 KWh to several MWh). These storage systems ensure a reliable and secure energy supply, and combined with photovoltaic systems, they can even replace dedicated conventional fossil fuel power plants. There are two main business models for the operation of industrial and commercial energy storage. One is that industrial and commercial users install energy storage equipment by themselves, which can directly reduce electricity costs, but users need to bear the initial investment cost and annual equipment maintenance costs. The other is that energy service companies assist users in installing energy storage. Energy service companies invest in the construction of energy storage assets and are responsible for operation and maintenance. Industrial and commercial users pay electricity bills to energy service companies.

Industrial and Commercial Energy Storage System Application Fields

Industrial and commercial energy storage systems have been used in critical infrastructure as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) during power failures for decades. Farms, telecom backup base stations, hospitals, data centers, and the industry are now increasingly interested in the multipurpose application of this storage.

Advantages of Industrial and Commercial Energy Storage Systems

1. Peak Shaving

Shift peaks to full valleys, reduce peak loads, enjoy peak-valley price differences, and reduce energy costs.

2. Economy

Reduce grid usage fees and electricity costs (peak shaving), use variable electricity prices (energy arbitrage), reactive power compensation, prevent grid expansion, and use self-owned electricity combined with decentralized renewable energy.

3. Maximize Solar Investment

Do not allow unused solar energy to be exported to the grid. This energy is stored for use when needed, avoiding paying retail prices for consumers.

4. Backup Power

It has the function of off-grid backup power, which improves the guarantee of power consumption; delays the transformation of the power system, and improves the utilization efficiency of power distribution assets. Long-term storage provides reliable backup power when grid power is unavailable due to public safety outages, extreme weather, or equipment failure. ESS solutions provide up to 12 hours of capacity to keep the lights on when the grid goes dark.

5. Demand Management

Improve load characteristics and reduce the impact of impact load on the power grid; 60KWh to 1MWh capacity-level modular battery energy storage system that can be flexibly expanded.

6. DC coupling scheme, compatible with series inverters.

7. Outdoor housing, easy to install and maintain due to modular design (Battery modules, BMS, control design)
