Multi-use

An intelligent energy management system (EMS) adds even more economic value to a battery storage system. The EMS controls various possible applications, e.g. load peak capping, self-consumption optimization and grid services. Our system can implement several of these applications simultaneously. This principle is called multi-use.

What is a multi-use application scenario for ?

The multi-use system for battery storage enables the simultaneous use of storage systems for various applications. For example, a battery storage system can be used to optimize self-consumption, shave off peak loads, or purchase electricity at the most cost-effective rates under dynamic electricity pricing plans. A multi-use system thus offers greater flexibility and benefits for the user.

Thanks to the innovative energy management system of the Voltfang battery storage system, all energy flows can be transparently monitored, controlled and optimally utilized for multi-use applications.

Advantages of multi-use

Save on Electricity Costs

Maximum cost savings through intelligent use of storage

Off-grid capability

less dependence on the power grid and on price fluctuations

Quick Payback

The investment pays for itself sooner thanks to multiple sources of revenue

Energy Transition

More Renewable Energy in Use

For which companies is a multi-use is useful

The multi-use system for battery storage offers a wide range of options for using the stored energy. Companies can use the battery storage system to optimize their own consumption or for peak load management in charging parks, etc. Thanks to the flexibility of the multi-use approach, companies can maximize the economic benefits of battery storage and improve their energy efficiency. Using multiple applications of the battery storage system is an option for all companies – whether logistics centers, agriculture or the manufacturing industry.
