1. Energy Cost Management and Savings
Reduce costs by storing excess energy during off-peak times and use it during peak periods.
2. Renewable Energy Integration
Store excess energy generated from renewable sources like solar for use when those sources are not producing electricity — typically when the weather is overcast or at night.
3. Grid Resilience and Backup power
Provide immediate backup power during grid outages, ensuring uninterrupted operations and preventing revenue loss due to downtime.
4. Boost the Grid
Power assist technologies seamlessly inject additional power into the main supply from the batteries to boost grid power for high-demand projects where the grid supply is not adequate.
5. Off-Grid
Off-grid power systems provide independence from the traditional grid, ensuring a reliable power supply where a grid connection is either too costly, too remote or during grid outages.
6. Environmental Sustainability and Brand Reputation
Reduce carbon footprint by using stored energy during peak times when conventional power sources may be less efficient or dirtier, maximise solar consumption and demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, enhancing brand image.
7. Avoided Infrastructure Upgrades
Delay or avoid the need for costly infrastructure upgrades by managing energy demand more efficiently.
8. Virtual Three phase from a single phase supply
Creating a virtual three-phase supply from a single-phase source enhances power quality and quantity enabling the operation of three-phase equipment more efficiently and reducing electrical stress on machinery.
9. Decoupling from the grid to work around DNO restrictions
Separating the grid side of a power system from the operations side with a DC battery is a smart way to work around DNO restrictions for renewables and lack of grid supply.
10. Voltage and Frequency Regulation
Stabilise voltage and frequency levels, improving the quality of power supplied to sensitive equipment.
As well as many other reasons for a battery like market arbitrage (buying and selling energy at different times), regulatory compliance, scaling up projects and becoming a more competitive business.
