How can Arctium Energy Storage Solution (BESS) Be Used?

Peak shaving refers to reducing electricity demand during peak usage periods by discharging stored energy. This helps:

  • Lower electricity bills for businesses on time-of-use (TOU) pricing plans.
  • Reduce strain on the grid during high-demand periods.
  • Avoid costly demand charges imposed by utilities.

What is an Electric Bill Made Of? Electric bills typically include two main components:

  1. Energy Charges: Based on the total amount of electricity (kWh) consumed.
  2. Demand Charges: Based on the highest level of power (kW) drawn from the grid during a billing cycle.

What is a Demand Charge? A demand charge is a fee imposed by utilities for the peak power usage within a specific interval (e.g., 15 minutes). Businesses with high peaks in energy usage pay significantly more due to these charges.

How Does Peak Shaving Help? By using ESS to discharge energy during peak usage periods, businesses can:

  • Reduce their peak demand and thus lower demand charges.
  • Optimize energy consumption and reduce overall costs.

Example: A commercial facility can use ESS to discharge power during peak afternoon hours, avoiding higher utility rates and demand penalties.

Load shifting involves storing energy during periods of low demand (and lower electricity rates) and using it during peak demand periods. This process optimizes energy usage and balances the load on the grid.

How Load Shifting Works: During off-peak times (when grid demand and electricity prices are low), ESS charges from the grid or renewable sources. This stored energy is then discharged during peak periods, alleviating stress on the grid and reducing costs.

Infrastructure Benefits: Load shifting allows charging during times when the grid is less constrained, such as during the night or midday when demand is lower. This prevents overloading grid infrastructure during high-demand periods, avoiding potential outages and costly upgrades.

Example: Solar energy can be stored in ESS during the day when generation is high and used during the evening when demand spikes.

As EV adoption grows, ESS plays a critical role in:

  • Charging station support: Providing backup power or supplementing grid power to meet high EV charging demand.
  • Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G): Allowing EVs to act as mobile ESS, supplying energy back to the grid when needed.
  • Avoiding infrastructure upgrades: By deploying ESS, high-capacity EV charging stations can meet peak demand without requiring costly upgrades to transformers, substations, or distribution lines. The ESS acts as a buffer, storing energy during off-peak times and delivering it during peak EV charging periods.

Example: An EV charging station equipped with ESS can store energy during low-demand hours and discharge it to support multiple high-speed chargers simultaneously during peak hours, avoiding the need to upgrade grid infrastructure.

Power factor correction (PFC) refers to the process of improving the power factor (PF) of a site using ESS. The power factor is a measure of how efficiently electrical power is converted into usable work output. A poor PF results in increased reactive power, leading to inefficiencies and higher utility charges in certain jurisdictions.

How Does ESS Improve Power Factor?

  • ESS can absorb or supply reactive power, which helps align the current and voltage waveforms.
  • By correcting the PF, ESS ensures that electrical equipment operates more efficiently, reducing energy losses.

Why Is Power Factor Important?

  • In certain jurisdictions, utilities impose surcharges if the power factor falls below a specific threshold (e.g., 0.7). These surcharges can be a percentage of the entire utility bill, significantly increasing costs.
  • A better PF reduces the overall load on the grid, benefiting both the utility and the consumer.

Example: A manufacturing plant with a poor PF can use ESS to supply reactive power during operations, improving the PF and avoiding a 10% surcharge on their utility bill.

ESS enhances grid reliability and resilience through:

  • Frequency Regulation: Stabilizing grid frequency by rapidly absorbing or discharging power.
  • Voltage Support: Maintaining stable voltage levels across the grid.
  • Black Start Capability: Providing initial power to restart the grid after a blackout.
  • Spinning Reserve: Acting as a backup resource, ready to deliver power when needed.

Example: During sudden spikes in demand or renewable generation drops, ESS can provide immediate power to balance the grid.

ESS can act as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), providing backup power during outages to critical facilities such as hospitals, data centers, and military installations. Backup power ensures these facilities continue to operate seamlessly, even when the primary power source is disrupted.

Advantages of ESS for Backup Power:

  • Fast Response: ESS can deliver power instantly, ensuring no disruption in operations.
  • Silent and Clean: Unlike diesel generators, ESS operates silently and without emissions, making it suitable for sensitive environments.
  • Scalability: Backup power capacity can be increased as needed by adding more storage units.

Example: A hospital equipped with an ESS can maintain essential operations such as emergency rooms and ICU units during a grid outage, ensuring patient safety and continuity of care.

Energy arbitrage involves buying electricity when prices are low, storing it in ESS, and selling it back to the grid or using it when prices are high. This enables:

  • Maximizing profitability for grid-scale operators.
  • Reducing energy costs for consumers.

Example: A utility-scale ESS can charge during off-peak hours and sell power back to the grid during peak pricing periods.

ESS facilitates higher penetration of renewable energy sources like solar and wind by:

  • Smoothing intermittency: Storing excess energy when generation is high and discharging it when generation is low.
  • Time Shifting: Allowing renewable energy to be used even when the sun isn’t shining, or the wind isn’t blowing.

Example: A solar farm paired with an ESS can supply power reliably to the grid 24/7, even during the night.

Canada offers several federal tax incentives and benefits to encourage the implementation of Energy Storage Systems (ESS) across all provinces:
