Benefits of battery storage for UK businesses
Battery storage technology has a key part to play in ensuring businesses can be powered by green energy even when renewable energy sources are not performing optimally. Battery storage technologies are essential to speeding up the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy, improving grid stability and providing backup power.
Benefits of battery storage for businesses:
Off-peak charging:
If a site has a tariff which is split between day and night rates, then the battery storage system can charge overnight via the cheaper tariff and discharge during the day to offset the more expensive peak grid electricity import – this is one way of load shifting a sites energy usage.
Backup Power:
Critical circuits can be backed up, so that in the instance of a power cut, these circuits will still operate as normal. This can prevent downtime, and any associated operational losses.
Increased Grid Resilience:
Implementing a battery storage system alongside renewable generation reduces the volume of grid import, protecting the site from market volatility.
