Manufacturing facility uses solar + storage to reduce demand and mitigate high utility charges

The Energy Toolbase team built a solution to overcome these challenges. To supplement the lack of historical data, a virtual energy storage system was installed at the site giving engineers the requisite data to evaluate the contribution to savings by the ESS by setting up various sizes of virtual storage to run in real-time. It also allowed us to collect historical data to train the machine learning models ahead of deploying the physical storage unit. To overcome the unpredictable nature of the EV charger as well as the size difference between batteries, the team changed how the system was evaluating the incoming data and made changes to the tolerances which improve the responsiveness and overall behavior of the system.
