Peakshaving with batteries works by making smart use of energy storage. The battery connects to the power grid, renewable energy sources or a generator. During off-peak hours, when energy demand is low, the battery charges. When consumption rises, the battery automatically delivers extra power to fill the gap, flattening peaks and reducing load on the grid connection. This keeps power demand more stable, helping to lower costs and prevent grid overload. It makes peak shaving an effective solution for grid congestion at locations with limited grid capacity.rnrnBattery peakshaving can be applied in construction projects, events, EV charging sites, temporary power supplies and shore power solutions. The battery provides temporary power support exactly when it is needed, with zero emissions and no noise.

Peak shaving and load sharing both help use energy more efficiently and reduce peak loads, but they work in different ways. rnrnIn peak shaving, energy peaks are flattened, which reduces the load on the grid. This is especially useful in cases of grid congestion, limited connection capacity or projects that need temporary power support.rnrnLoad sharing distributes energy demand across multiple sources. The battery works together with other energy sources such as solar panels, wind turbines or a generator. The Energy Management System (EMS) ensures that each source contributes optimally to the total power supply. This means there is always enough power available, while maintaining the most sustainable setup possible.rnrnBoth techniques help use energy more efficiently, reduce CO₂ emissions and relieve pressure on the grid. At Greener, these solutions are often combined into a hybrid…

The right battery for peak shaving depends on three key factors: required power output (kVA), energy capacity (kWh) and the duration of the peak load. For short but heavy peaks, such as those caused by construction machinery or fast chargers, a battery with high power output is important. For longer peaks, such as at events or temporary housing, a larger storage capacity is required.rnrnAt Greener, our experts help determine the right battery and setup. Our Energy Management System analyses expected usage, predicts peaks and calculates the most efficient configuration. The result is an emission-free, efficient solution tailored to your project.

For businesses, peak shaving offers a smart way to use energy more efficiently and reduce costs. By reducing peak loads, the grid is less heavily burdened, keeping energy usage stable. This provides both financial and sustainability benefits.rnrnMain benefits:rn- Lower energy costsrn- No need for grid reinforcementrn- Reduced CO₂ emissions and fuel usern- Reliable and stable power supplyrn- Smart energy managementrn- Positive impact on sustainability

The cost of renting a battery for peakshaving depends on your energy demand, required power output and project duration.rnrnFor projects with high peak loads, using a battery is often cheaper than requesting a grid upgrade. The battery absorbs temporary peaks and avoids peak tariffs. Renting a battery is also flexible. You only pay for the capacity you need and for the period you use it.rnIn addition to lower energy costs, peak shaving brings indirect savings such as reduced fuel consumption, less maintenance and lower CO₂ emissions.

Smart software is essential for peak shaving. It ensures that the battery knows exactly when to charge and discharge, without any manual action required.rnrnAt Greener, we use our own Energy Management System (EMS). This software is designed to manage energy storage as efficiently as possible. It continuously measures energy consumption and automatically decides when the battery should supply or store power.rnrnUsers can access the online platform at any time for real-time insights into energy usage, CO₂ savings and battery performance.
