Peak-shaving power station two-stage generator

What is generator peak shaving?

Generator peak shaving is a strategy used to minimize a facility’s peak power consumption by avoiding peak demand charges and supplementing the electrical grid during periods of high demand with a backup generator. This strategy not only protects your business from power outages but also helps you save money on electricity.

Can a generator shave a peak power demand?

Underestimating power demands is a typical error that businesses make when adopting generator peak shaving. It is critical to ensure that the generator is suitably scaled to manage peak demand; otherwise, it may not be able to keep up during peak power consumption periods.

What is peak shaving in hybrid energy storage system scheduling?

Hybrid energy storage system scheduling result of peak shaving. As can be seen from Figure 5, when the HESS only participates in peak shaving of power grid, the peak shaving effect is very obvious. In the 5-min peak-shaving scheduling, MG reduces the electric load by 78.97 kW, and the peak-shaving ratio reached 8.19%.

Should businesses use generator peak shaving?

Businesses may ensure a successful adoption of generator peak shaving and reap the cost savings and other benefits by avoiding these typical blunders. Businesses can cut their peak demand charges and enhance their bottom line while also supporting environmental goals by limiting energy use during peak hours.
