PRIMARY INDUSTRY

The battery responds to SRAD activations rather than cutting production, and sets prices for the rest of the year.

A primary industry facility with continuous production, its own photovoltaic power generation, and energy storage can capture two sources of economic return: savings resulting from time-of-use pricing and revenue from the Active Demand Response Service (SRAD).

Participating in SRAD typically involves halting or slowing down processes. The goal was to fulfill the commitment without affecting the plant’s energy consumption, especially since the plant cannot discharge excess power into the grid.

Solution

  • Economic Optimal Dispatch (EOD).
  • Price Arbitrage.
  • SRAD response using the battery.
  • Guarantee of commitment fulfillment.
  • Anti-spill control.

Key Facts

  • 6 MWp of photovoltaic capacity
  • 2.5 MW / 5 MWh of batteries

Result

Recurring Daily Savings

The plant reduces its supply costs on an ongoing basis through daily price arbitrage calculated by the EOD.

Compliance Without Intervention

Access SRAD compensation by responding to activations using the battery, without any downtime or process slowdowns, and without the need for plant personnel intervention.
