Battery storage systems in industry

Efficient use of solar power through intelligent battery storage

The energy transition poses new challenges for industrial companies: volatile electricity prices and grid fees, as well as ambitious climate targets in the commercial and industrial sectors, are increasing the pressure to act.

At the same time, decentralised energy generation – especially through photovoltaic systems – is creating new opportunities for economical and sustainable self-sufficiency.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) play a key role in this.

Function and benefits of battery storage systems

A battery storage system absorbs excess electricity from the photovoltaic system and makes it available again when needed – for example, in the evening hours, during short-term periods of increased consumption, or to cover peak loads.

This enables your company to:

  • Increase the amount of solar power you consume yourself

  • Reduce grid loads and smooth out power peaks

  • Stabilise energy costs in the long term

 

  • Improve security of supply within the company
  • Reduce CO₂ emissions and meet ESG requirements
Self-consumption storage

In addition to the direct use of photovoltaic systems, battery storage systems also offer further potential for businesses.

With self-consumption storage systems, you can use the energy you generate yourself when demand is at its highest, thereby increasing your independence from the energy market. This solution helps to increase energy efficiency while reducing energy costs.

Electricity market storage

Another advantage of battery storage systems is the possibility of using electricity market storage to profitably utilise free grid connection capacities without the need for investment on your part.

By placing a storage system on your premises, you can participate in the energy markets and contribute to grid stability at the same time.

Integration into an intelligent energy system

In conjunction with a higher-level Energy management system (EMS), such as our EPSherpa, battery storage systems can be controlled precisely and proactively. Forecast-based algorithms and the evaluation of real-time data enable the storage schedule to be tailored to actual energy requirements.

In addition, the system can be configured to take dynamic electricity tariffs into account – for example, by charging at specific times when tariffs are low. This creates a flexible and scalable overall system consisting of a Photovoltaic system, BESS, Energy management system and, if desired, supplementary E-Charging infrastructure.
