- Manufacturing Facilities
- These are energy-intensive and often have inflexible loads that cannot be shifted to off-peak times. Peak shaving helps reduce demand charges by using stored energy during peak periods, thereby lowering operational costs.
- Data Centers
- Energy storage systems help manage electricity costs and reduce grid dependency during peak hours, ensuring that these data centers maintain continuous operation efficiently.
- Commercial Buildings
- Offices and shopping centers use energy storage to shave peak demand, reducing electricity costs and minimizing reliance on the grid, especially for HVAC systems.
- Agricultural Operations
- Farms benefit from energy storage by utilizing renewable energy to meet evening spikes in demand and optimize energy usage.
- Healthcare Facilities
- Energy storage systems ensure uninterrupted power supply for hospitals, serving as reliable backups and supporting cost-effective energy management.
- Telecommunications
- Telecom systems can benefit from peak shaving by managing energy demands during peak times, ensuring stable operations while reducing costs.
- Industrial Processes (e.g., Oil Refineries, Chemical Companies)
- These processes are often critical and cannot be easily shifted. Energy storage helps manage peak demand and reduce associated costs.
- Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations
- Battery energy storage systems can help control the high power demand during peak charging times, reducing demand charges and minimizing grid strain.
These industries leverage peak shaving for cost savings, grid stability, and sustainability by utilizing energy storage systems to mitigate high energy demand periods effectively.
