Enabling peak shaving with increased self-consumption with single-phase battery storage systems


Prerequisites:

  • For projects with self-consumption:

    • You have opened a project and planned it up to the project page System (quick planning) or Determine self-consumption (detailed planning).

  • For energy system projects:

    • You have opened a project and planned it up to the project page Energy system.

Procedure:

  1. For energy systems, on the Energy system page, click the button [Battery System] in the central workspace and enable the option Take battery-storage systems into account.
  2. For PV systems with self-consumption, on the page System (quick planning), enable the option Take battery-storage systems into account, or on the page Determine self-consumption (detailed planning), enable the option Intermediate storage of excess PV energy.
  3. Select the single-phase option button.
  4. In the Application drop-down list, select the option Peak load shaving and increased self-consumption (multiuse).
  5. In the Device drop-down list, select the desired device.
  6. To have a suggestion for the peak load shaving limit calculated, select [Determine consumption limit]. It only makes sense to configure the following settings with a grid-supply limit that is suitable for the system.
  7. Select [Apply proposal].
  8. To define the "multiuse" function, select [Settings]. The suggestion for the grid-supply limit has been applied in the dialog box.
  9. In the field SOC limiting value, enter the desired value.
  10. If necessary, click the Adaptive increase of the grid-supply limit options.
  11. If the Adaptive increase of the grid-supply limit was clicked, if necessary click the Automatic reset at the end of the accounting period option button and select the duration of the accounting period.
  12. Click on [OK] to save the settings.
