Battery & Energy Storage
See how Energy Analyst controls a 400 kW BESS to prevent costly demand spikes at an industrial manufacturing facility.
Integration & Control of a 400 kW BESS
T350 direct interface with BESS at an industrial manufacturing facility — delivering real-time peak shaving and load shifting with millisecond precision.
- T350 controlling BESS at ~100 millisecond frequency to prevent reverse power from on-site generation
- Energy captured by reverse power protection is then discharged to reduce grid load
- When on-site generation is not operating, Energy Analyst uses the BESS to take advantage of load shifting and peak shaving strategies to reduce energy spend
On the Edge: Flexible Grid
Learn how leading commercial, industrial, and utility organizations are using edge intelligence and real-time energy analytics to reduce peak demand costs, respond to grid signals, and build more resilient energy operations.
This guide covers capacity tag strategy, demand response best practices, battery storage integration, and the analytics capabilities that make it all possible.
Why Peak Load Management Matters
Utilities charge based on both consumption volume and timing. The hours when you use the most electricity have an outsized influence on what you pay — for months or even years to come.
Monthly Peak Demand Charges
Most commercial and industrial customers face demand charges based on the highest 15-minute average interval recorded during a billing period. A single unmanaged spike — caused by HVAC startup, production equipment cycling, or an unexpected load — can set your demand rate for the entire month.
Energy Analyst continuously monitors interval data in real time, sending alerts and triggering automated controls before you breach a costly new peak. Heatmaps and load overlays give your team the visibility to understand patterns and act proactively, not reactively.
Capacity Tag Management
ISO and RTO capacity programs like PJM's 5CP, NYISO's ICAP, and ERCOT's 4CP set your long-term capacity obligations based on your load during a small number of system-coincident peak hours. These tags can drive hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual charges for large commercial or industrial facilities.
Energy Analyst integrates directly with grid operators to receive real-time peak alerts and day-ahead forecasts. When a coincident peak event is likely, your team gets early warning — and your automated controls can shed load before the hour arrives.
