Peak Shaving

At Modular Battery Systems, we help businesses manage their energy intelligently. One of the most effective applications of our modular battery systems is Peak Shaving – the reduction of peak loads. By temporarily supplying additional power from a battery, you can prevent exceeding your grid connection capacity and avoid costly network upgrades or peak demand charges. It can also help enable the expansion of your business or machinery fleet — without the need for the normally required grid reinforcement. This way, grid congestion won’t stand in the way of your operations.

What exactly is peak shaving?

Peak Shaving literally means ‘shaving off’ the peaks in your energy consumption. At times when your business or installation requires more power than your grid connection can handle, a battery provides temporary additional energy. Once the peak has passed, the battery is recharged — for example, using cheaper off-peak electricity or sustainably generated energy from solar panels.

This keeps your consumption within the limits of your grid connection, prevents grid congestion, and saves you the costs of grid reinforcement or higher capacity tariffs.

Peak Shaving with MBS: our approach

At Modular Battery Systems, we believe a solution is only truly effective when it matches your consumption profile and future plans. That’s why we first analyse your current energy usage, identify peak moments, and advise on a suitable solution.

Our modular systems are highly versatile – from temporary rentals to permanent installations – and can be seamlessly integrated, via our intelligent Energy Management System (EMS), with solar panels, generators, or charging infrastructure.
