Commercial and Industrial (C&I) storage systems are used for the energy management of industrial and commercial enterprises and are sized according to individual need (capacities in the range from 20 kWh up to several MWh). Due to their comparatively high capacity and performance, they can also provide system services – in particular, a charging infrastructure for electric vehicles without requiring a cost-intensive and lengthy grid expansion.
Battery packs and inverters are important components of commercial and industrial energy storage solutions. Battery packs offer new application flexibility and unlock new business value across the energy value chain, including conventional power generation, transmission & distribution, renewable power, and industrial and commercial sectors. They support diverse applications including firming renewable production, stabilizing the electrical grid, controlling energy flow, optimizing asset operation and creating new revenue.
These storage systems ensure a reliable and secure energy supply, and in combination with a PV system, they can even replace a dedicated conventional fossil-fuel power plant. They are also economically attractive as they help to avoid expensive peak loads (peak shaving) and can accommodate variable electricity tariffs. In combination with photovoltaic electricity generated for self-use, commercial storage can help increase the solar self-sufficiency of the business.
