Factory Peak-Shaving Deployment
A behind-the-meter storage scenario for energy-intensive plants — flattening demand peaks, protecting against voltage sags, and keeping production running through grid events.
01Project Background
Factory Peak Shaving
Energy-intensive sites face cost and reliability pressure that storage mitigates directly. This scenario shows how a plant-scale system is specified for peak control and ride-through.
This is a generic engineering deployment scenario used to illustrate system design — it is not a specific customer installation.
02Customer Challenge
Site challenge
A typical industrial facility faces pressure that storage addresses:
- Demand peaks from motors and compressors trigger steep utility penalties.
- A single voltage sag can halt a production line and scrap a batch.
- Energy-intensive sites need backup that rides through seconds-to-hours events.
- Decarbonization targets require measurable on-site storage.
03Solution Overview
Solution approach
A PCS behind the site transformer couples the battery to plant loads, charges from PV or off-peak grid, and discharges during demand peaks and grid events.
04System Architecture
Typical Factory Peak Shaving topology
A PCS behind the site transformer couples the battery to plant loads. PV can be added on the DC or AC side; critical machinery is prioritized during grid events.

09FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast does backup engage?
Transfer is automatic and designed to be seamless for protected loads.
Can it scale later?
Yes. Cabinets are added in parallel as load or PV grows.
Does it need a generator?
Optional. Storage can displace or supplement diesel for cleaner backup.
