Peak Shaving Calculator
How to use the peak shaving calculator
Use the calculator to explore how a battery could reduce demand peaks for your site. Enter the tariff and interval load information requested by the tool, then review the modeled battery power, energy and savings outputs.
The result is an engineering starting point rather than a project guarantee. Actual performance depends on measured load data, tariff rules, operating limits, battery reserve and the final control strategy.
Save your assumptions and compare them with your utility bill. For a detailed review, contact BX engineers or read the BESS guide.
Project information to bring to the next step
When reviewing a system, separate the outcome from the equipment list. A battery may be asked to deliver a short, high-power response, several hours of backup or a daily charge and discharge cycle. Those duties affect the usable energy, inverter rating, reserve state of charge and expected operating schedule.
Site conditions matter as well. Confirm the electrical service, available installation area, access for delivery, ambient temperature and the control signals the system must exchange with existing equipment. Include safety, maintenance and commissioning responsibilities in the project scope.
Good project information makes the next conversation more productive. Keep the source of each number, note assumptions that still need checking and identify the person who can provide missing records. BX can then outline the next engineering step without treating a generic example as a promise.
Read related BESS applications, review the system platforms and contact BX when you are ready to discuss your site.
Supporting technical resources
For independent technical background, see the U.S. Department of Energy’s energy storage research and resources. Use that reference alongside your site data when reviewing system choices.
