Energy Toolbase and Socomec Deploy Energy Storage System in Southern California to Offset High Demand
Energy Toolbase and Socomec have deployed an energy storage system at a Southern California Logistics center. This project is part of a long-term partnership between Energy Toolbase and Socomec to provide developers with end-to-end energy storage systems.
The Five Ways an Energy Management System (EMS) Can Capture Value for Solar + Storage Assets
An Energy Management System (EMS) is a crucial part of an energy storage system (ESS), functioning as the piece of software that optimizes the performance and efficiency of an ESS. An EMS coordinates and controls various aspects of the system’s operation to ensure that the stored energy is used most effectively to save the end customer money and that the battery is operating efficiently.
Acumen EMS™ Deployed at Minnesota Electric Manufacturing Headquarters
All Energy Solar, a project developer based in St. Paul, Minnesota, was searching for a solution for the host customer, Trystar, a leading designer, manufacturer, and supplier of electrical power solutions for the entire power market. All Energy Solar tapped BYD, a direct storage hardware partner of Energy Toolbase, to procure a turnkey energy storage system.
A Simplified Approach to Battery Project Economics
Energy Toolbase’s Developer product has revolutionized the economic analysis of solar and energy storage projects. It provides a rapid way to model project economics accurately
Leading Tech Company Deploys BYD Energy Storage System Paired with Acumen EMS™
A California-based global tech company expressed interest in utilizing a new approach to enhance its electric bill savings by deploying a behind-the-meter energy storage system (ESS). The developer turned to Energy Toolbase to acquire the turnkey energy storage system.
Battery Management vs. Energy Management Systems for an Energy Storage System
Battery management and energy management: two approaches leveraged to achieve greener operations, reduce utility costs, and cut energy consumption – both intertwined yet serving different functions and essential to the core functionality of an ESS to ensure maximum savings.
Modeling & Deploying Energy Storage: Steps for a Successful Deployment
Deploying storage can be complex, and many developers face challenges with this relatively new technology. From pricing and sizing the system, to selling, pre-commissioning, commissioning, and end-user education, the Energy Toolbase Operations team helps developers ensure a smooth deployment from the point where the project is sold, all the way into permission to operation (PTO).
Southern California Logistics and Fulfillment Center Installs Energy Storage System to Complement Existing Solar System and Offset High Demand Charges
PVCA, a California-based commercial electrical contractor specializing in solar operations and maintenance, was searching for a solution at a fulfillment center that needed to reduce demand charges after a change in the utility’s rate structure it w as on. PVCA selected Energy Toolbase’s Acumen EMS™ paired with Socomec’s HES L battery to install alongside the solar system to target those high demand charges that typically occur in the afternoon hours.
