Agro Fossil Free - Bennex Load balancing system

General Description

Electrical networks function best when the production and consumption of energy are (almost) equal. The techniques that are applied to balance generation and consumption are also known as load balancing or load matching. Finding this balance has always been difficult, especially with the use of renewable energy sources - because the weather is unpredictable and the sun shines most at times when consumption is low, production and consumption are further apart than ever.

This imbalance is increasingly causing grid congestion and major differences in peak and off-peak rates. Load balancing allows you to significantly reduce your costs by moving peaks to times when you generate the most yourself or to times when off-peak rates are applied.

However, many companies also have processes where peaks are not easy to move. It is very advantageous for these companies to invest in a storage system. This allows you to store your surplus of generated energy during the day to use during later peaks. In case you do not generate anything yourself, a battery system can still be advantageous, because you can buy the cheapest energy during off-peak hours and then cover your peaks during peak rates. Thanks to our intelligent solutions, you do not have to plan this yourself, but the system itself ensures that it is the cheapest for you.
