PEAK SHAVING & LOAD SHIFTING
Reduce costs with smart battery integration
Voltic EMS works with battery storage to cut peak demand charges and shift energy use to cheaper time windows - automatically.
The result: lower energy bills, better use of solar, and more charging capacity without grid upgrades.
PEAK SHAVING
Cap your maximum power draw
When your site approaches a defined power limit, the battery kicks in to cover the excess - so the grid never sees a spike. This directly reduces demand charges, one of the biggest line items on commercial energy bills.
What it is
You set a maximum power cap for your site - say 150 kW. When total consumption gets close to that limit, the battery covers the difference so your grid draw stays flat.
Once demand drops back down, the battery stops and recharges - ready for the next spike.
When to use it
How it works
Threshold Set
You define a peak power limit - for example, 150 kW from the grid
Battery Kicks In
When consumption approaches the limit, the battery starts discharging to cover the excess
Auto Recovery
Once demand drops, the battery stops discharging and recharges for the next spike
Limit Guaranteed
The grid never sees a peak above your defined threshold - your demand charges stay flat
LOAD SHIFTING
Move consumption to cheaper hours
Instead of drawing from the grid when electricity is most expensive, the system uses stored energy or delays charging to shift consumption to off-peak windows - reducing costs and making better use of solar generation.
What it is
The battery charges when electricity is cheap - overnight or during peak solar - and releases that energy when rates go up. Your site stays powered without paying top price.
EV charging sessions can also be timed to hit the cheapest windows automatically.
When to use it
How it works
Tariff Monitoring
The system tracks energy prices and tariff windows throughout the day
Off-Peak Charging
The battery charges when electricity is cheapest - overnight or during solar peaks
Stored Energy Delivery
During expensive hours, stored energy powers the chargers instead of the grid
Schedule Alignment
Charging sessions are timed to match the cheapest available windows automatically
