Challenge: Energy cost pressure and sustainable development transformation
In a remote industrial area of the Czech Republic, there is an aerosol factory. This factory is dedicated to the production of various spray-type products, and the power demand in the production process is always under high load. In particular, compressed air equipment, mixers, automatic filling machines and other equipment run almost uninterruptedly to ensure the smooth operation of the production line.
With the expansion of the production scale, the pressure of power costs has gradually become difficult to ignore. The rising electricity costs, the cost of equipment maintenance and the pursuit of sustainable development have prompted the factory management to start thinking about how to deal with energy waste and high electricity bills effectively.
Investment and challenges of photovoltaic systems
The factory chose to install a photovoltaic system, hoping to reduce its dependence on external electricity with the help of solar energy, especially on sunny days, when most of the factory’s power needs can be met by photovoltaic power generation. However, the amount of electricity generated by photovoltaic power generation during peak hours far exceeds the factory’s needs, resulting in power waste.
Solution: On-grid energy storage system
The factory management team decided to cooperate with SCU to introduce a green energy storage system. SCU provides it with the GRES-300-200 energy storage system, which is connected to the grid, not only to achieve photovoltaic consumption but also to reduce peak loads and fill valleys, further reducing electricity costs.
The energy storage system can store electricity when there is excess photovoltaic power generation, and when the electricity consumption peaks, the stored electricity can be quickly released to meet the needs of factory equipment. In this way, the factory can not only maximize the use of solar energy but also effectively reduce its dependence on the external power grid.
Results: Reduce electricity costs and achieve green transformation
By reducing peak loads and filling valleys, the factory successfully optimized the way of electricity use and significantly reduced the cost of electricity consumption. The introduction of the energy storage system also solved the problem of power fluctuations in the factory and ensured production stability. At the same time, while reducing dependence on traditional energy, the factory reduced carbon emissions and promoted green transformation.
Outlook: Laying the foundation for sustainable development
Through cooperation with SCU, the aerosol factory has not only achieved significant improvements in economic benefits but also paved the way for future energy transformation, demonstrating how innovative green energy solutions can help traditional manufacturing achieve sustainable development.
