Commercial behind-the-meter (BTM) energy storage systems offer several significant benefits for businesses and organisations, enhancing operational efficiency and financial gains. These systems, connected behind the utility service meter, primarily focus on energy management and electricity bill savings for the consumer.
Business Continuity: In the face of natural disasters, maintaining uninterrupted operations is vital. Grid backup solutions, such as off-grid systems, help businesses avoid revenue losses, safeguard perishable goods, and minimise downtime. These systems ensure that businesses can maintain operations during grid failures, which is essential for economic continuity
Resilience to Disruptions: Natural disasters can cause extensive damage to data centres, storage facilities, and other physical infrastructure. A robust backup and recovery strategy is fundamental to minimising downtime and financial loss. This involves regular backups to ensure that critical data can be recovered during a disaster. Cloud backup solutions augment in-house tools to help ensure critical data survives even if on-premises infrastructure is damaged or destroyed
Wireless Backup Solutions: Implementing wireless backup systems is a strategic move to strengthen business continuity in the face of natural disasters. These systems offer rapid deployment, redundancy, reliability, flexibility, and scalability. They ensure always-on connectivity, crucial for businesses to continue serving clients, processing orders, and accessing critical data even during infrastructure failures or natural disasters
Enhanced Emergency Services: For sectors like healthcare, uninterrupted connectivity is essential to provide critical care and coordinate rescue operations. During crises, wireless backup helps ensure these essential services continue functioning without interruption, which is vital for public safety
Energy Independence and Sustainability: Many backup generators rely on fossil fuels, which can be scarce or inaccessible during emergencies. Off-grid systems, powered by renewable energy sources, reduce environmental impact and eliminate dependence on fuel deliveries, contributing to sustainability even in emergencies
One of the critical advantages of BTM storage systems is their ability to regulate load demand and improve grid resilience. They can function as a load while charging and as a generator while discharging, effectively leveraging storage for grid resiliency. This dual capability allows businesses to manage their energy usage more efficiently, reducing peak demand charges, which often constitute a significant portion of commercial energy bills.
Regulate Load Demand
Reducing Peak Demand - Peak Lopping
adopting BTM solar and storage can help normalise and minimise peak demand, reducing utility peak demand overall. Additionally, these systems can offer snapback relief, reducing the sudden load burden on the grid following demand response (DR) events. This helps manage the grid's stability and prevents unnecessary transmission and distribution upgrades.
For businesses, the monetary savings from BTM BESS are clear. These systems can help reduce demand charges and shift energy consumption away from higher-cost periods, particularly in time-of-use (TOU) billing structures. Businesses can significantly lower their utility bills by intelligently managing the charging and discharging of storage systems. For example, a solution like Axiom's Virtual Battery, which uses artificial intelligence to manage a supermarket’s refrigeration system, demonstrates how BTM energy storage can reduce energy and demand charges, leading to substantial cost savings.
Monetary Savings
A 20-Year Track Record of Reliability
Furthermore, BTM storage systems enable businesses to participate in grid services programs such as demand response, creating new revenue streams. This not only provides financial benefits but also supports the broader grid infrastructure by offering flexible capacity.
In conclusion, the adoption of BTM energy storage systems offers a practical and financially viable solution for businesses looking to manage their energy costs effectively while contributing to grid stability and resiliency. For organisations considering these solutions, the importance of understanding their specific energy needs and the potential savings from BTM BESS cannot be overstated
