Applications
Following are some specific applications of our services.
Reduce User Disruptions During Power Outages
Our system manages energy consumption in a smart manner by adjusting the rate of battery utilization and controlling specific loads and circuits to minimize disruption and prioritize service to any critical or important loads during power outages.
Use Smart Battery Management to Reduce Costs
ModBESS controls optimize the charging and discharging of batteries to periods that minimize electricity costs for consumers. Our system factors in user demand changes, such as charging an electric vehicle, instead of operating on a fixed schedule.
Minimize Demand Charges
Demand charges, which are calculated from the largest short-term consumption spike in a given period, can represent a significant portion of electricity costs for larger consumers. We can help you avoid these costs by intelligently monitoring your current demand and optimizing battery charging and discharging.
Avoid Unnecessary Solar Power Curtailments
The production of solar at the wrong location or wrong time can result in the need for utility companies to curtail solar production, in effect "throwing away" free energy. Our smart battery management system helps avoid this situation by readying your battery to absorb energy during curtailment periods and deliver it back after curtailment needs are over.
Coordinate Multiple User Storage Options
Many users have multiple ways of storing energy, even if they are not aware of it. Hot water (whether in a pool or a tank), elevated ponds, refrigeration equipment and thermal building energy are all examples that can be integrated and managed by our BESS software to optimize energy consumption and storage.
Coordinate Multi-User Energy
The current electric grid is not designed to have an unlimited amount of distributed generation, which can limit users' access to renewable energy and solar production. ModBESS can work with your local utility to help develop a coordinated multi-user system to allow a greater penetration of solar and distributed generation without exceeding grid supply limits.
Manage Golf Course Irrigation
Irrigation systems can account for up to 50% of a golf course facility's energy use. Our H2Optimizer can help facilities develop a coordinated pumping system that accounts for complexities like solar energy production, energy purchased from a local utility, the condition and status of various well pumps and additional storage capabilities to reduce costs and improve your bottom line.
Integrate Solar Production and Water Pumping
Many private and municipal water supply stations are supplemented at least in part by solar arrays that provide some of the electricity needed for pumping. ModBESS specializes in coordinating water levels at various reservoirs with solar energy storage and other storage devices to optimize operations.
Develop Green-Friendly Housing Complexes
In today's world, any new housing development demands the use of technologies that support a "greener world." ModBESS works with small scale projects involving less than 100 KWh of storage to larger projects with as much as 4 MWh of storage to manage energy from a variety of sources, thus reducing costs and providing a renewable and reliable electricity supply to meet the needs of the individual owners.
