Battery energy storage systems reduce peak demand by supplying stored electricity during periods of high load instead of drawing additional power from the grid. During off-peak hours or periods of low production, the system charges the batteries. These strategies are especially powerful when combined with battery energy storage systems (BESS). Additionally, these systems serve as reliable backup power sources, ensuring production continuity. . Peak shaving is about reducing energy consumption during peak demand. An energy storage system (ESS) is charged while the electrical supply system is powering minimal load at a lower cost of use, then discharged for power during increased loading, while costs are higher, reducing peak demand utility charges.
