Battery storage for achieving atypical grid usage

Introduction

Going against the grain – earning money with atypical behavior

Due to its early working hours, a bakery already behaves differently from most other grid customers, but sometimes that is not enough to have the grid operator reward the difference. With battery storage and the achievement of atypical grid usage, the Musswessels bakery is able to react flexibly even to varying peak load time windows without having to cut back.

Project details

Atypical grid usage at Musswessels

Electricity prices are rising almost continuously and represent one of the main cost factors in the production process for many companies. To optimize electricity procurement and the resulting higher economic efficiency for commercial customers, we have installed a battery storage system at the Rhede location. Musswessels is a large bakery that supplies more than 75 specialist bakeries and consumes 700 MWh of electricity per year.

The battery storage system is installed via a sub-distribution panel in a utility room at the bakery. In terms of grid topology, the battery storage system is connected in parallel to the utility grid . No major modifications were required for this. The system enables atypical grid usage is implemented here as follows: The battery storage system discharges during periods of high grid load and recharges when the grid load is lower. This grid-supporting behavior enables, among other things, the integration of renewable energy generation systems and is rewarded by the grid operator with particularly significant cost reductions. The customer’s production process can continue to operate without any restrictions.

Scalability – The system can be used flexibly due to the use of different cabinet sizes. In addition, several storage cabinets can be coupled so that the overall system can be expanded modularly.
