Peak Shaving
Peak Shaving in the energy market
How does Peak Shaving work?
Peak Shaving is a technique used in the energy market to reduce peak electricity demand. This is achieved by making use of stored energy during moments of high demand, thus reducing the load on the power grid.
During peak hours, when electricity demand is highest, Peak Shaving can help reduce costs by releasing energy from storage sources. This can be done, for example, by battery systems that store energy when demand is low and release it when demand is high.
Benefits of Peak Shaving
- Cost savings: By reducing peak loads, companies can save on their energy bills.
- Efficient energy management: It helps balance supply and demand on the power grid.
- Reduction of grid load: By reducing peaks, pressure on the power grid is reduced, which can help prevent outages.
Applications of Peak Shaving
Peak Shaving is often used in commercial and industrial settings where large amounts of energy are consumed. It can also be useful in residential settings with solar panels and battery storage.
Peak Shaving offers an effective way to manage energy costs and reduce load on the grid. By using smart technologies and storage solutions, businesses and households can benefit from lower energy costs and more sustainable energy consumption.
