Peak Shaving

LVK BESS charges during low-tariff off-peak hours and discharges during peak demand, lowering electricity bills and demand charges.

  • Lower demand charges
  • Time-of-use optimization
  • Predictable monthly bills
  • Stabilize site load profile

Core Advantages

  • TOU Arbitrage

    Charge during off-peak hours and discharge during peak hours to capture price spreads.

  • Demand Charge Cut

    Cap the site's peak demand to reduce monthly demand charges from the utility.

  • Predictable Cost

    Smooth the load profile for more predictable monthly electricity bills.

  • Drop-In Solution

    Container or cabinet form factor for fast installation at any commercial site.

How It Works

The LVK BESS charges from the grid during low-tariff periods, then discharges during high-tariff periods to power the site load. Demand charges are also reduced by capping the site's peak draw.

  1. Off-Peak Charge

    BESS charges from the grid during low-tariff nighttime hours.

  2. Peak Detection

    EMS detects when site demand is rising toward peak-tariff hours.

  3. Battery Discharge

    BESS discharges to supply the load and cap the grid import.

  4. Lower Bill

    Site demand and TOU charges are significantly reduced.
