Tailor-made for this business
Every installation is different. At Merger BV, we saw two specific challenges.
Morning peaks from simultaneous charging. The business charges electric vehicles in the morning while industrial machines start up. This combination caused high grid peaks, precisely when the capacity tariff is determined. The InduBa EMS recognises this pattern and dispatches the battery to absorb this morning peak before it reaches the grid.
Solar surplus in the afternoon. On sunny days, the solar panels produce more than the business consumes. Without a battery, that surplus flows to the grid at a low feed-in tariff. The EMS stores this surplus and uses it later when production needs it.
Smart charging based on forecasting. The EMS learns the workday consumption pattern over the past months. Based on this, the system decides every night: charge or wait? If the next day is expected to be cloudy with little solar energy, the battery charges overnight at the lowest EPEX price. A sunny day expected? Then the system does not fully charge. Because why would you pay overnight transport costs for electricity that will come free from your own roof tomorrow?
That is the difference between a standard battery and an InduBa installation.
