BESS for manufacturing companies

First we understand the production. Then we design the energy system.

Production lines, compressors, furnaces, pumps and cooling create their own load profile. Annual consumption alone does not show whether a company needs to address peaks, a power shortage or unused PV surpluses.

BESS – Battery Energy Storage System can help with several of these needs. However, the design must be based on the production process.

01

Where can a benefit arise?

Demand peaks.The battery can supply part of the power when more equipment runs at the same time. We first examine the cause of the peak and the options for time-based load management.
Production expansion.If a new line needs additional power only at certain intervals, storage can supplement the grid connection. In the case of a permanent power shortage, we also look at upgrading the infrastructure.
Own photovoltaics.Work shifts, shutdowns and weekends determine how much electricity the company uses directly and how much is worth storing.
02

Not all processes can be shifted.

Production has its priorities. Some equipment must run at a precise time, other equipment has operational flexibility. We look for that flexibility only where using it will not disrupt the production process.

Load management can reduce the required battery size. The aim is not to compensate every peak at any cost, but to find an appropriate solution.

03

An outage can be more expensive than electricity.

Sometimes the whole production line does not need to keep running. It is enough to supply the controls, cooling, pumps or selected drives needed for a safe shutdown.

Backup operation must be part of the technical design. A battery alone does not provide automatic backup.

We evaluate more than energy savings.

When a plant expands, the possibility of starting new equipment earlier can also be important. For a sensitive process, it may be reducing the consequences of an outage. We assess these values separately from electricity savings.

For the analysis, we need the load profile, invoices, work shifts, main equipment, own generation and development plans. Based on these, we compare a battery, load management and other options.
