Most Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ Energy Storage.
What is an industrial battery?
An industrial battery, also called behind-the-meter battery storage (behind-the-meter energy storage), is an energy storage system that is located at a business site and stores electricity for its own use to reduce peak consumption and energy costs.
Why is battery interesting for businesses?
For businesses, a behind-the-meter battery lowers energy costs by reducing peak consumption, prevents grid aggravation during electrification and can generate revenue through flexibility on the grid.
How does a battery at a corporate site work?
The battery is located behind the meter (behind-the-meter) at the company site. It charges during low electricity prices or high solar production and discharges during peak times. It is controlled automatically via the Voltana Energy Management Platform.
What size battery is typical for a company?
Typical battery storage for energy-intensive companies in Belgium ranges between 1 and 10 MWh in capacity and 0.5 to 5 MW in power, depending on electricity consumption, the profile, and electrification plans. In addition, at Bnewable we also have projects that go even bigger.
What is the advantage of a battery without its own investment?
With a battery without its own investment, Bnewable finances and manages the installation. The company uses the battery without its own investment. Bnewable finances and manages the installation, while the company directly benefits from lower energy costs and receives a share of the revenues.
How does a battery project proceed?
A battery storage project consists of an analysis of your profile, a technical and permitting phase, a construction phase and then operation. Bnewable takes care of the entire process, including local optimization and trading on the energy markets.
For which companies is battery especially interesting?
Battery storage is particularly relevant to energy-intensive businesses such as manufacturing, logistics, transportation & trucking, and especially sites with solar panels, charge points or grid congestion.
When does a battery make money?
The profitability of a behind-the-meter battery depends on many factors such as peak consumption, energy prices and local consumption profile. Based on some simple parameters such as consumption figures, Bnewable can reliably estimate the profitability of a battery at your site.
What information is needed to for an initial analysis?
An analysis of the potential value of battery storage at your site usually requires: quarterly electricity consumption values, annual consumption, and possibly information on planned expansions, solar panels or charging infrastructure.
How does a battery help with the energy transition?
Battery storage provides flexibility to the power grid by matching supply and demand. It stabilizes the grid, makes more renewable energy usable and reduces dependence on fossil energy, thus companies are actively contributing to the energy transition.
