4 FAQs about Conakry peak shaving

Can peak shaving reduce energy costs?

Modern consumers actively seek cost-effective energy solutions and sustainable practices. This white paper explores peak shaving as an effective method to minimize energy costs. Energy and facility man-agers will gain valuable insights into how peak shaving applications can help unlock the full potential of energy storage systems.

What is peak shaving?

Peak shaving is a method that involves adjusting battery charging and discharging based on load fluctuations to minimize reliance on grid power during peak periods. This strategy allows businesses and homeowners to save on energy costs by limiting power import from the grid when demand—and consequently, electricity prices—are at their highest.

Should peak shaving be a strategy?

BESS is one of the most effective ways to achieve a sus-tainable future. The decision to adopt peak shaving as a strategy should be carefully assessed by consumers on a case-by-case basis. Peak shaving is particularly relevant in regions where Time-of-Use (TOU) rates are implemented by electric utilities and where demand charges are substantial.

What is a reserved SoC for peak shaving?

1. Reserved SOC for Peak Shaving: State of Charge (SOC) is a critical parameter that determines how much stored energy is available for peak shaving. Users can set a Reserved SOC to ensure sufficient battery power is available during peak demand periods. Higher household consumption requires a higher Reserved SOC for optimal performance. 2.
