Parallel Multi-Use

Parallel multi-use is a special form of multi-use. In this case, a battery storage system fulfils several applications simultaneously, instead of using them one after another in time.

Several functions at the same time

A battery storage system can, for example, be used in parallel for self-consumption optimisation and at the same time contribute to peak shaving. In this way, the available storage capacity is used particularly efficiently and several economic benefits can be realised simultaneously.

Benefits for companies

• higher utilisation of the battery storage system
• simultaneous use of several applications
• optimised integration of PV systems or charging infrastructure
• increasing profitability of the energy system

The role of the energy management system

An intelligent energy management system coordinates the different applications of a storage system and ensures that they can be operated efficiently in parallel.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does parallel multi-use mean?

Parallel multi-use means that a battery storage system fulfils several applications simultaneously, for example peak shaving and self-consumption optimisation.

How does parallel multi-use differ from general multi-use?

In general multi-use, different applications can be used one after another. In parallel multi-use, several functions are fulfilled simultaneously.

Which applications can be combined in parallel?

Typical combinations are peak shaving, self-consumption optimisation of solar power or the support of charging infrastructure.

Why does parallel multi-use increase the profitability of a storage system?

Since several applications are served at the same time, the utilisation of the battery storage system increases and with it the economic efficiency of the system.

What role does an energy management system play in parallel multi-use?

An energy management system coordinates the different applications of a storage system and ensures that they can be operated efficiently at the same time.
