Pozadie：
Steel processing factories are energy-intensive operations requiring consistent and reliable power. This factory in Sweden sought a solution to manage rising energy costs, meet sustainability goals, and maintain operational efficiency. Additionally, grid stability was becoming increasingly critical, as fluctuating energy demands and peak loads strained local infrastructure.
Výzvy：
- Grid Dependence and Peak Loads: High energy demand during peak production times resulted in significant demand charges and grid strain.
- Frequency Regulation Requirements: Maintaining grid stability required the factory to participate in frequency regulation, demanding a reliable energy management solution.
- Energy Costs: Rising electricity prices and operational costs impacted the factory’s profitability.
- Sustainability Goals: The factory needed to align with local sustainability initiatives to qualify for council rewards.
Riešenie：
POWEROAD provided its Vonkajšia chladiaca skriňa FLEX 215 ESS with a capacity of 500kW / 860kWh, tailored to the factory’s needs:
✅ Frequency Regulation: Balances power supply and demand, supporting grid stability while optimizing energy usage.
✅ Peak Shaving: Reduces peak loads by storing energy during off-peak hours and discharging it during high-demand periods, lowering demand charges.
✅ Energy Cost Optimization: Minimizes operational costs by reducing reliance on grid power during expensive peak periods.
✅ Sustainability and Rewards: Supports eco-friendly operations, enabling the factory to qualify for council incentives.
With POWEROAD’s FLEX 215 ESS, this steel processing factory has transformed its energy management approach, achieving cost savings, operational efficiency, and sustainability. By addressing key energy challenges and aligning with local green initiatives, the project sets a benchmark for innovative and sustainable industrial operations.
