First define the technical and economic objective of storage. Then select power, capacity, architecture, protection and control strategy.
Request an industrial BESS studyAn industrial project may pursue several outcomes. Prioritising them avoids oversizing and allows scenarios to be compared on the same basis.
Power relates to the kW that must be covered; capacity relates to the kWh that must be shifted or backed up. Real curves and operating constraints are simulated, not monthly consumption alone.
The scope is adapted to project maturity and clearly separates assumptions, equipment and pending engineering work.
Load and production curves, bills, contracted power, single-line diagram, goal, location, space, critical loads and expansion plans. The better the time-series data, the more useful the proposal.
It allows an initial estimate but does not describe peaks or time distribution. For peak shaving, backup or arbitrage, 15-minute or higher-resolution curves are recommended.
Start from the power and energy of critical loads, their peaks, simultaneity, required hours, available SOC, efficiency and reserve. Autonomy does not depend on nominal capacity alone.
It depends on the requested scope. The proposal should state whether it includes equipment, BOS, protection, engineering, installation, commissioning and maintenance to avoid incomplete comparisons.
We work with installers and engineering companies. Send the available information and we will identify what is still needed for sizing.
