Lithium-ion batteries, especially Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP/LiFePO4) type batteries have become the most popular type of energy storage system. They come with the following advantages:
Solar PV system installations for commercial and industrial are already seeing good adoption, bringing a different set of problems. For places with no net metering option or with a gross metering option, the solar PV system owner tends to divert the additional solar energy generation into storage, preferably an LFP-based energy storage system.
Net metering is a system in which any excess energy sent to the grid can be adjusted in the energy utilization from the utility company, hence lowering the energy bills. Gross metering is a system in which any excess energy sent to the grid is paid a different value (usually lower than the buying price of energy from the utility company) compared to the energy taken from the utility company, sometimes leaving the PV system owners feeling they didn''t get a fair price for their energy export.
Many countries began with net metering to encourage solar PV system installations. When they see a rise in solar PV system generation, they tend to switch to gross metering to safeguard the utility company''s regular energy supplier''s commitment to take energy.
No net metering or Zero export is a system in which excess energy can not be sent to the grid. This situation leads to the PV owner looking for energy storage options.
Energy storage systems can support excess energy demands for commercial and industrial applications when the power requirement increases. This situation arises for industries where the production is at maximum utilisation (which happens occasionally).
Energy storage systems are an ideal solution to ensure continuous power supply during power outages. It is a perfect replacement for a diesel generator if the power outage pattern is known.
Energy storage systems can reduce costs during peak usage times when electricity rates are higher than the cost of energy from off-peak time and the total cost of ownership of the battery, including the battery efficiency losses during its charge and discharge. The savings are even higher if the user has free energy from a solar PV system during excess generation.
Part 2 of Understanding Energy Storage Systems for Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Applications will focus on battery and bi-directional inverter (both non-hybrid and hybrid) technical details and system functionality details.
