Applications

A commercial storage system is not a bigger home battery. Businesses have higher power levels, more complex load profiles, larger PV systems, e-mobility, grid connection limits, load peaks and, in some cases, backup power requirements.

Industrial storage systems are intended for sites with high power levels, critical processes, charging infrastructure, large-scale PV or grid connection limits.

Mobile storage solutions are intended for projects where energy is needed temporarily, flexibly or independently of a fixed site.

Agricultural businesses often have large roof areas and high PV potential — and at the same time critical loads such as refrigeration, milking systems, ventilation, pumps, feeding systems and controls.

In practice, charging infrastructure usually fails not at the charging station but at the grid connection. Several charging points or DC chargers create very high short-term power demand.

Storage can support energy communities technically, but the economics are complex. The decisive factors are the metering point, grid level, grid fees, ownership structure, metering concept and billing.

In peak shaving, the storage system delivers energy exactly when the business briefly needs high power. This reduces the maximum power drawn from the grid.

Many customers believe that every battery storage system automatically provides emergency power. That is not true. Backup power requires transfer, grid disconnection, protection systems, defined loads and a suitable operating strategy.
