Specifically, we're talking about energy storage systems (ESS) that: California's compressed air storage (CAES) provides 300MW for 10 hours – equivalent to powering Ouagadougou's entire night-time load.

However, peak shaving can still be achieved by combining on-site solar generation with battery energy storage systems (BESS). Battery storage allows a facility to store electricity when it is inexpensive or readily available, and use it later when demand is high.

This guide explains how a peak shaving energy storage system works, and uses a real-world case study to show how you can cut commercial energy costs by 40% through smart energy arbitrage.

We analyze the potential of each strategy to reduce peak demand and shift energy consumption to off-peak hours, as well as identify the key themes critical to the success of peak shaving for smart grids, including effective coordination and communication, data analytics.
