4 FAQs about Senegal air energy storage peak-shaving power station

Can peak shaving reduce energy costs?

Modern consumers actively seek cost-effective energy solutions and sustainable practices. This white paper explores peak shaving as an effective method to minimize energy costs. Energy and facility man-agers will gain valuable insights into how peak shaving applications can help unlock the full potential of energy storage systems.

How does peak shaving work?

Peak shaving can be accom-plished by activating on-site power generation sys-tems, such as diesel generators, or utilizing a bat-tery energy storage system. During peak shaving, the consumer's overall electricity consumption remains consistent, but a portion of their demand is met through the BESS instead of drawing power from the grid.

What is base peak shaving?

Base Peak shaving, sometimes called load shedding, involves reducing the peak electricity demand to lower demand charges. This technique is often employed by commercial and industrial electricity consumers who aim to momentarily reduce their grid-power consumption to help avoid spikes in their energy usage.

Should peak shaving be a strategy?

BESS is one of the most effective ways to achieve a sus-tainable future. The decision to adopt peak shaving as a strategy should be carefully assessed by consumers on a case-by-case basis. Peak shaving is particularly relevant in regions where Time-of-Use (TOU) rates are implemented by electric utilities and where demand charges are substantial.
