The Challenge
The Solution
The developer turned to Energy Toolbase to acquire the turnkey energy storage system. The system will play a preemptive role in improving overall savings at the campus by working against high “on-peak” windows. At the campus, the company elected to deploy four BYD CHESS 120 kW, 2-hour energy storage systems equipped with Energy Toolbase’s Acumen EMS™ controls software. The primary EMS control strategy used will be Time-of-Use Demand Charge Management. The Acumen-controlled ESS is situated with the pre-existing 885kW solar system to shave peak demand and spread self-generated energy use across more hours of the day. The customer will have access to the performance of the system and savings through the ETB Monitor platform.
