1. Introduction
Large commercial and industrial (C&I) facilities often face steep electricity bills, especially from peak demand charges. Commercial energy storage systems help reduce these costs through a strategy called peak shaving.
2. What Is Peak Shaving?
Utilities charge extra when your power usage spikes. A BESS stores energy during off-peak hours and discharges it during demand peaks, flattening the load curve and avoiding those high charges.
3. BESS System Components
- High-capacity batteries (100–1000kWh+)
- PCS (Power Conversion System)
- EMS (Energy Management System)
4. Financial Benefits
In regions with high demand charges (e.g., parts of the US, EU), BESS can reduce electricity costs by 20–40%. Payback periods range from 4 to 8 years.
5. Additional Benefits
- Grid stability participation (demand response)
- Renewable energy integration
- Lower carbon footprint
6. Conclusion
For factories, office parks, and data centers, commercial energy storage is not just a green solution—it’s a financial win.
