Battery storage for businesses
Full power grid bottleneck for businesses
The power grid is becoming increasingly crowded, so how can you make sure you have a stable power supply? It is a question that is asked in many companies and that is not surprising. Power is very important for smooth business processes, at the same time companies are more and more aware of the importance of making sustainable choices. For example, they are purchasing electric cars or tools, or they are looking at ways they can make better use of the energy from their solar panels.
If you are a company that wants to make more use of the output of solar panels, Cellpower battery storage for businesses is an interesting option. Solar panels are a good way to generate renewable energy, but the yield is very variable. On some days you still need power from the grid, while on days with a lot of sunshine you can’t use up your own generated power. Energy storage systems allow companies to store the energy generated by the panels and use it when needed. This way, they are no longer completely dependent on the power grid.
The need for reliable power
For some businesses and organizations – such as hospitals and emergency rooms – a stable power supply is an absolute necessity. For other companies in all kinds of industries, an interruption due to power problems is annoying and costly. You’d rather avoid such situations.
Generating power from renewable sources, while a very good initiative, is as yet highly variable in yield. With Cellpower energy storage, you control the continuity of your own power supply and are no longer completely dependent on the grid.
A stable power supply is essential to ensure business continuity and in some situations – such as hospitals and emergency rooms – even vital. In the past, many companies chose to solve this with a diesel generator, but this is pricey and often not sustainable. Moreover, a generator takes a while to start up. Hospitals and data centers cannot afford just a few seconds without power.
Grid congestion causes problems
If you face grid congestion, it can cause significant problems in your operations. Normally the grid operator increases your capacity when you need more power, but sometimes that option is not available. This greatly affects manufacturing companies, for example, because if you can’t scale up your production, you can’t meet your customers’ demand.
This is especially true for companies that face seasonal peaks, as they process crops, for example. At the time the crop is harvested, the supply is high and often the processing time is very short. Power capacity will then have to be increased significantly to process the crop on time.
Achieve a stable power supply
Not only grid congestion can cause problems, a stable power supply is also important if you want to grow your business. It is therefore wise to start looking to the future and ensure a stable power supply that can keep up with growth. This is especially important for businesses with high energy needs, such as manufacturing companies. With our handy energy storage for businesses, you can ensure a stable power supply yourself. This will keep your expansion plans on st(r)oom nicely!
Our enterprise energy storage is suitable for all kinds of industries. Whether it’s a data center or a retail business, it’s always worth taking a critical look at your energy supply. It seems so natural to have power, but the grid is now congested and the consequences of power outages can be substantial. With battery storage, you avoid this risk. Under normal circumstances you use power from the grid, during peak loads and power outages the energy storage system compensates.
Making smart use of your generated energy
Our battery storage for businesses is useful during grid congestion and provides a stable power supply for companies with growth ambitions, but there is a third application. That’s because our batteries allow you to be smarter with your generated energy!
By using solar panels, you generate your own green power, which is, of course, sustainable. One disadvantage of solar power is that it is not exactly constant. During dark days, your panels generate little energy, while on sunny days the output is sometimes so high that you can’t even consume it all and you even have to pay feed-in charges.
This can be done much more efficiently by using battery storage for businesses. This stores previously generated, in-house energy. The moment there is little sun and thus your panels generate little power, you switch to power that was previously generated and stored in the battery.
As a result, you not only make better use of your own generated energy, you also ensure a lower load on the grid and thus reduce the risk of power outages.
