Industrial Storage

An industrial storage system is a large-scale battery storage system developed specifically for industrial applications. It stores electrical energy and makes it available again when needed, in order to optimise energy flows within the company.

Typical applications of industrial storage systems

Industrial storage systems are used in energy-intensive operations to reduce electricity costs and make energy processes more flexible. They are particularly often deployed in combination with an energy management system.

• Peak shaving
• Reduction of grid charges
• Optimisation of industrial energy processes
• Integration of renewable energies

Capacity and dimensioning

The capacity of industrial storage systems can vary widely. They typically range from several hundred kilowatt-hours up to the megawatt-hour range – depending on the energy demand of the respective company.

Grid-supporting applications

In addition to economic benefits, industrial storage systems can also take on grid-supporting functions. These include, for example, atypical grid usage or supplying electrical infrastructure such as a charging park. In this way, industrial storage systems contribute both to the profitability of companies and to the stability of the power system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is an industrial storage system?

An industrial storage system is a large-scale battery storage system developed specifically for industrial applications, in order to store energy and make it available flexibly.

What are industrial storage systems used for?

Industrial storage systems are used to reduce peak loads, lower grid charges, optimise energy flows and make better use of renewable energies.

How large is a typical industrial storage system?

Industrial storage systems often have capacities ranging from several hundred kilowatt-hours up to the megawatt-hour range.

What role does an energy management system play in industrial storage systems?

An energy management system controls the storage system automatically and ensures that energy is stored or made available precisely when it is economically worthwhile.

How do industrial storage systems help to reduce grid charges?

Industrial storage systems can reduce peak loads or shift electricity consumption into periods with lower grid charges, which significantly reduces grid charges.

Can industrial storage systems also take on grid-supporting functions?

Yes. Industrial storage systems can, for example, contribute to atypical grid usage, balance out peak loads or provide energy for charging infrastructure.
