Getting more out of your own photovoltaic system
Photovoltaic systems generate electricity when the sun shines – however, a company’s energy demand follows its own load profile. If generation and consumption do not coincide in time, surplus energy can be temporarily stored in a battery storage system and used later.
This allows for increased self-consumption of self-generated solar power and reduces the amount of electricity drawn from the public grid. This is particularly interesting for businesses whose energy demand remains high during evening and night hours.
Targeted reduction of peak loads
Not only the amount of energy consumed, but also the maximum power drawn can significantly influence the electricity costs of a commercial or industrial site.
If, for example, production plants, machinery, or charging infrastructure cause short-term high power peaks, a battery storage system can provide additional power. This so-called peak shaving smooths the load profile and can help to reduce demand charges.
At the same time, the storage system can relieve the existing connected load – an increasingly important factor when additional consumers such as charging infrastructure or electrical production processes are to be integrated into the site.
Using energy flexibly and intelligently
In combination with an intelligent energy management system, battery storage opens up further possibilities. Energy can be specifically stored or provided – depending on generation, consumption, electricity prices, and the requirements of the operation.
This makes the storage system a flexible component in the entire energy system: photovoltaics generate, battery storage shifts energy, and energy management coordinates the energy flows.
Correct sizing is crucial
Not every commercial site requires the same storage. For economical operation, storage capacity and power must be matched to the individual load profile and the specific use case.
Volturo therefore first analyzes the existing energy flows, peak loads, generation profiles, and future requirements of the site. Based on this, we plan and implement battery storage systems for industry and commerce – upon request as part of a holistic energy system consisting of photovoltaics, battery storage, charging infrastructure, and intelligent energy management.
