How can a company reduce the cost of electricity?
Is your company facing high electricity and network charges? Did you know that smart energy management can reduce network load and reduce costs in the long run? One of the most effective ways to optimize consumption is to use an electricity storage device. With the correct integration of the storage tank, companies can take advantage of lower tariffs, increase energy independence and reduce network fee costs. In this article, we will present how the savings bank can concretely affect the cost of the network fee and how companies can make the most of it through smart management.
What is a network fee and why is it important?
The network fee is the cost that companies pay for the use of the power grid. The amount of the network fee depends on several factors, including:
• Connector power — higher connection power means higher fixed costs.
• Consumption spikes— sudden network loads lead to higher costs.
• Consumption period- tariffs depend on the time of use of energy.
By optimizing these factors, companies can significantly influence the amount of their costs.
How does the electricity storage help reduce the cost of the network fee?
1. Reduction of peak loads (peak shaving)
One of the main factors in the high cost of network fees is consumption spikes. The electricity storage allows you to store energy at times of low consumption and release it at peak times. This reduces the load on the network and, consequently, the network charge.
2. Use of cheaper energy
The energy storage unit allows you to store energy at times when tariffs are lower (e.g. at night or on weekends) and use it during times of more expensive tariffs. Thus, companies directly save on energy costs.
3. Better use of renewable resources
Companies that own solar power plants can store excess energy and use it later, rather than returning it to the grid at low purchase prices. This increases energy independence and reduces the need for additional electricity from the grid.
4. Optimization of connection power
Companies often hire higher connecting power than they actually need to avoid penalties for excesses. With a power bank, they can optimise their connection power, as it takes over temporary loads and prevents unnecessary power from being overcharged.
An example of a successful implementation of an electricity and savings storage
With the existing solar power plant with a nominal capacity of 89.25 kWp and the Tesvolt TS HV 50 E electricity storage, we have enabled Impuls Domžale to comprehensively optimize its electricity consumption, focusing on smart management, which ensures that the transmission to the grid is adapted to specific constraints, since the transmission power of the solar plant is lower than its installed rated power.. The system is designed to effectively reduce peaks in electricity consumption, allowing the company to keep consumption below the agreed billing capacity and thus avoid increasing network costs.
Is a savings bank the right solution for your business?
Electricity storage is not only an investment in savings, but also in energy independence and a sustainable future. With it, companies can reduce the cost of network fees, optimize their energy consumption and improve the use of renewable resources.
