Abstract: From the power supply demand of the rural power grid nowadays, considering the current trend of large-scale application of clean energy, the peak shaving strategy of the battery energy storage system (BESS) under the photovoltaic and wind power generation scenarios is explored in this paper.
Grid operators are charged not only by their total energy demand, but also by their highest power demand from the superior grid level. The maximum demand charge is usually imposed on the peak power point of the monthly load profile, hence, shaving demand at peak times is of main concern for the aforesaid stakeholders.
In particular, the relative savings from peak shaving increase from 44% in 2019 to 62% in 2022 when using the day-ahead load curve forecast. Moreover, the respective values with the use of day-ahead peak load forecast range from 48% in 2019 to 78% in 2022.
In this paper, we present an approach for peak shaving in a distribution grid using a battery energy storage. The developed algorithm is applied and tested with data from a real stationary battery installation at a Swiss utility.
However, the demand for ES capacity to enhance the peak shaving and frequency regulation capability of power systems with high penetration of RE has not been clarified at present. In this context, this study provides an approach to analyzing the ES demand capacity for peak shaving and frequency regulation.
The process of reducing electrical power consumption during periods of high demand is called peak shaving. Utilities adapt the peak loads on the demand side with the end-users’ participation , , on the generation side (e.g., dispatchable power plants) and by grid upgrade measures , .
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
