While the energy management system (EMS) has been operated with output power measurements from all generation units (GUs) in transmission system, most renewable energy sources (RESs) in distribution system have been installed behind-the-meter (BTM).
The EMS optimizes energy flow by deciding when to charge or discharge the battery based on energy prices, grid conditions, or renewable energy availability. It coordinates the interaction between the BESS, the power grid, and renewable energy sources like solar panels or wind turbines, ensuring that energy is used as efficiently as possible.
Effective implementation of an EMS, particularly with a focus on battery energy storage, can transform how your business manages and utilises energy. It leads to increased efficiency, cost savings, and a step forward in achieving sustainability goals. Get in touch with Wattstor's specialist team on [email protected].
