Batteries : the solution of the future
Are you interested in batteries , green energy and renewable energy storage ? Then you've come to the right place at Bos. After all, Bos has grown into an important player in the energy market and has been active in the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland since 2012. Bos specializes in purchasing surplus solar energy , supplying green energy and controlling small and large storage systems . In addition, Bos facilitates the exchange of renewable energy between various parties so that they can monitor the market in an advantageous and transparent manner. In short, the expert in batteries.
Since batteries are the solution for the unbalanced energy supply due to renewable sources, Bos supports companies in the search for the best tailor-made battery storage system solution. Various storage systems are possible and desirable, from small proprietary storage systems or home batteries to mega batteries . Each project requires its own specific approach. Below is a more detailed explanation of which batteries are desirable where and when and why.
Many companies are already working on it: installing solar panels on the roof to achieve a higher return. It features a private listener gieproductie therefore appeals to the imagination. Unfortunately, there are also occasional unforeseen problems. For example, it is possible that the available solar energy is not always in balance with the local consumption and that a surplus of solar energy is created during a succession of a few sunny days. This is where the solar batteries come into the story. By providing our own storage system instead of injecting solar power directly into the grid, it is possible, for example, to use solar energy as a power source at night. So with a battery storage system you are independent of the distribution network . In addition, the system also functions as an emergency generator in the event of a power failure, so that the devices on the own network remain operational.
Energy storage as main power supply
The most chosen solution for energy issues in areas without a grid connection is a generator . However, the Battery Box can also be used for projects where the energy requirement can be accurately estimated in advance. This is an interesting option to consider, especially when strict regulations apply at the location of the deployment with regard to emissions or noise pollution. In case of a greater power demand, it is also possible to combine several Battery Boxes with each other. With connected Battery Boxes, a total power of several mW can be realized, which can be interesting for large festivals or construction sites, among other things.
Energy storage as part of a hybrid energy solution
Energy storage systems are ideal for use in hybrid energy solutions . These energy solutions are the first step in accelerating the energy transition. The coupling of a Battery box with an extender, such as a generator (running on (bio) diesel or hydrogen ) or wind or solar energy , results in a significant reduction in emissions and fuel savings. In addition, this enables you to work completely autonomously.
The role of energy storage within this solution depends on the other energy sources used and the application. For example, the Battery Box can serve as a main power supply with a generator as a backup, or as a backup for the electricity grid for peak shaving.
Energy storage and a generator
In many situations there is a fluctuating consumer profile. The selection of a generator is based on the maximum power within the requested profile. Most of the time the generator runs at a lower power, which means that the generator is not used efficiently. However, this is possible by combining a generator with the Battery Box. In such a hybrid combination, the Battery Box is the primary energy source. When the Battery Box is empty, the generator switches on automatically to charge the Battery Box, whereby the generator is optimally used. In addition to significant savings in emissions and the required fuel, it is often also possible to use a smaller aggregate. This generator only needs to run while charging the Battery Box and is otherwise silent.
Energy storage and the grid: peak shaving
Peak shaving is dealing with peaks in energy demand. This application is often seen in construction and at events, where certain machines or a stage require much more energy at certain times than the grid can supply at that moment. At such moments, an energy storage system such as the Battery Box can step in and absorb the peak. The Battery Box itself is continuously recharged by the grid. If a grid connection still has to be installed at the project location, the Battery Box can make the difference in the choice between a small or a more expensive large connection.
