Battery system - tariff optimization and peak shaving

[Daniela Silva]

Hello.

In battery systems, is it possible to conduct a study with tariff optimization (charging from the grid during periods when energy is cheaper and discharging during periods when it is more expensive) and peak shaving?

Thank you.

Dear Daniela Silva,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Unfortunately, tariff optimization and peak shaving are not currently possible. Battery management currently focuses exclusively on optimizing self-consumption.

Functions whose implementation in PV*SOL we are currently discussing:

• Dynamic charging and discharging
• Dynamic electricity prices
• Seasonal feed-in of PV electricity into the grid (own consumption in winter, feed-in in summer), seasonal adjustment of charging time for time-controlled charging and discharging
• Time-controlled feed-in curtailment (possibility to limit export at certain windows during the day)
• Battery-only application (purchase cheap electricity from the grid, store it temporarily and feed it into the grid at times when the feed-in tariff is higher)

We cannot provide any information on whether and, if so, when these functions will be implemented.
