3. FOREWORD Energy storage is the key solution to meeting the challenges of energy transition, using renewable energy and provid- ing energy cost reductions for the following 4 main applications. • Behind-the-Meter Energy Storage: Reduce peak consumption and maximise PV energy self-consumption. SUNSYS PCS² (IM) can limit the impact of increases in the electricity retail price by supplying the load to cut peak demand (peak shaving), maximising PV energy self-consumption at building or community level.
Page 10
• Grid support: Meet the challenge of demand-response energy balance. When directly connected to the grid, SUNSYS PCS (IM) improves stability and management of grid operators thanks to voltage and frequency regulation, load shifting, peak shaving and ancillary services for grid support. •...
