Commercial Behind the Meter Battery Energy Storage System M&V Study

The 5 MegaWatt Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are being evaluated as a Demand Response Load shedding system for commercial customers.  In addition to Demand Response, the systems shift load from on-peak time periods to off-peak time periods. The ESS functions by supplementing grid supplied electricity with a battery and inverter system.  When facility load approaches a pre-determined threshold for each utility meter, the ESS supplements the load in order to minimize the facility’s on-peak and noncoincident demand charges on a monthly basis.  The following items, among others, are detailed out in this comprehensive report:

1. Fleet State of Charge over 5 MW
2. Demand Reponse Particiaption Values under Capacity Builidng Model
3. Shared Savings Model Effectivness
4. Control Logic Operating the Batteries
