Peak shaving involves proactively managing overall demand to eliminate short-term demand spikes, which set a higher peak. This process lowers and smooths out peak loads, which reduces the overall cost of demand charges. We believe solar + battery energy storage is the best way to peak shave.
[pdf] Grid scale BESS can be used for frequency regulation, peak shaving (i.e. reducing demand during peak hours to lower grid stress or avoid high tariffs) and grid stability. The 750 kW BESS project at the PECC2 Innovation Hub in Ho Chi Minh City is an example of this.
[pdf] Lithium-ion batteries can play a significant role in both strategies—acting as the sharp edge of the energy-saving razor. Storing energy for future use is a valuable peak shaving strategy, and LiBs play a major role in these systems.
