1. Introduction: Significance of Peak Shaving for Industrial and Commercial Enterprises

As the world transitions to new energy systems, all businesses are trying to cope with new challenges, such as the growing cost of energy along with new regulatory restrictions. Among all energy control techniques, peak shaving has emerged as a key energy management technique to optimize energy costs. The definition of peak shaving is the use of stored energy to avoid consumption of electricity when the public power grid requested energy the most during the day. Peak shaving shifts consumption from the more expensive to the cheaper periods of the day, resulting in lower operational costs. In addition, lower peak consumption reduces pressure on public power grid.

The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is fundamental to effective peak shaving.  For 16 years, The Origotek Co., Ltd.—jointly established by Tianjin Lishen Battery Co., Ltd. and Shandong Shangcun Energy Co., Ltd.—has been focused on industrial and commercial energy storage. In 2009, when Mr. Cheng’s team started designing and developing energy storage solutions for the company, it began a long journey of product iterations and upgrades, now on its fourth product generation. These advanced systems are designed for peak shaving and other key applications, providing enterprises with trusted partners for sustainable energy solutions.

2. The Core Value of Battery Energy Storage Systems in Peak Shaving

Battery Energy Storage System for Peak Shaving provides three key values to solve the predominant challenges facing industrial and commercial enterprises, which are:  cost saving, operational flexibility, and grid-friendly operations.

Cost Savings During Peak Hours: Installations can cut back on high-cost peak hour electricity usage when off-peak hour electricity is stored in a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and is discharged during high rate hours. Many of Origotek’s clients outlined a 15% to 30% reduction in electricity monthly costs when a BESS is used to avoid peak hour power purchases in energy intensive manufacturing plants.

Operational Versatility: Fixed energy saving strategies like equipment replacement lack the flexibility of a BESS which can be changed dynamically in response to shifts in enterprise production plans and grid demand. Origotek’s energy efficiencies custom designed for systems allow easy shifts between peak shaving, backup power, and multiple other modes to provide operational balance.

Public Utility System Support: BESS used for peak shaving facilitates a reduction to the enterprise’s peak discretionary demand and back-to-back usage on a public utility. This reduction limits the risk of grid overload, blackouts, and unstable power supply to the enterprise. Using a BESS for peak shaving meets energy system sustainability goals such as Origotek’s vision of energy freedom for mankind.

3. Key Technical Considerations for Battery Energy Storage Systems in Peak Shaving

Not all Battery Energy Storage Systems suit peak shaving functionality. There are three value determining areas to optimizing performance for enterprises to consider: battery lifespan, system efficiency, and safety design. These three are all areas where Origotek’s fourth generation products shine.  

Battery Lifespan: Peak shaving entails multiple cycles of frequent charging and discharging. Under the expertise of parent company Tianjin Lishen Battery, Origotek’s systems utilize high quality battery cells that withstand upwards of 6,000 charge-discharge cycles to offer nominal service years of 10-15 years. This is notable when the industry average is 8 years.  

System Efficiency: Peak shaving benefits are also largely determined by the efficiency of battery energy conversion (storage to discharge). Origotek’s fourth generation BESS boasts a staggering overall efficiency of 90%. This means there is nearly 10% energy loss during and use, and that enterprises can gain all the benefits of every stored kilowatt hour theoretically.  

Safety Design: There are no substitutes when it comes to safety of stored energy. Origotek systems provide multi-layered protection by means of PRA, temperature control, and integrated fire suppression systems. These systems eliminate potential hazards to valued assets, a hallmark of Origotek, and protect human life during active discharge cycles. This is the promise of safer energy storage systems for industrial and commercial use.

4.Practical Application Scenarios of BESS for Peak Shaving  

Not limited to just one industry, Origotek’s BESS for Peak Shaving customized solutions to fit a variety of application scenarios.  
  
Heavy industries (steel, chemical, and automotive manufacturing) operate at high and steady energy requirements. Origotek’s BESS enables these industries to flatten their high-demand peaks for energy during highly charged periods, thereby reducing their total energy cost and their penalty charge for exceeding their contracted power silhouette.  
  
Commercial energy demand fluctuates throughout the day and peaks at periods needing significant air-conditioning (for example, small shopping complexes and office buildngs during summer afternoons). The BESS captures energy during low-demand periods (like early mornings) and releases it during peak raw power periods, ensuring a steady supply to power lighting, elevators, and air conditioning.  
  
Data centers need guaranteed constant power for 24 hours a day. They are primarily concerned about backup power, but Origotek’s BESS also saves energy with their peak shaving functionality for data center energy cost savings. The business’s highly sought-after fourth generation products are able to integrate peak shaving with a backup power feature and control three-phase unbalance.
