C&I energy storage systems for industry and commerce
Commercial and Industrial (C&I) energy storage systems are electrical solutions used in businesses and industry. They can sometimes be operated in combination with renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic systems. Modern energy management systems continuously monitor and optimize the flow of electricity to ensure efficient energy use.
C&I energy storage systems make it possible to secure electrical energy during periods of low grid load. During periods of high load, the stored energy can be accessed, which not only reduces energy costs but also provides a reliable reserve in the event of power outages or emergencies.
The European commercial storage market is currently experiencing a huge boom. Companies that rely on climate-friendly technologies benefit not only from increased efficiency of their renewable energy systems, but also from increased grid independence and significantly lower electricity costs. See here what C&I storage systems can do for your business.
Self-consumption optimization
Modern storage systems maximize the yield of your solar or wind power plants. Excess electricity is intelligently stored and fed back into the grid when needed—for example, during periods of low sunshine. This allows you to utilize a significantly higher proportion of your self-generated electricity and reduce your energy costs in the long term. These systems also expand the capacity of your charging infrastructure. Companies that already use electric vehicles or want to electrify their fleet benefit from the fact that the battery storage system acts as a buffer, optimally utilizing the existing grid capacity. This avoids expensive grid connection expansions, while simultaneously reducing high load peaks and the associated additional costs.

Managing load peaks
Another decisive advantage: through the targeted control of load peaks, unnecessary costs can be avoided. High power loads can occur during intensive production phases or when starting up plants. With an intelligent peak-shaving approach, you define a power limit above which the storage system automatically kicks in and absorbs excess energy. A concrete example shows how reducing peak load – from an original 300 kW to just 60 kW – has reduced grid fees by almost 80 percent. This not only ensures a constant energy supply but also significant financial savings.

Safety during power outages
A reliable storage system offers far more than cost advantages – it also protects your company from unexpected power outages. Even brief grid interruptions can lead to significant economic losses. Advanced storage systems act as a backup grid in an emergency: They stabilize voltage and frequency, deliver critical power, and enable the continued operation of important systems. This ensures your company remains operational even in exceptional situations.

A high-performance energy storage system for commercial and industrial applications consists of four key components that interact seamlessly to ensure reliable energy storage.
-
Battery system: This forms the "heart" of the system and serves as a storage device for electrical energy – usually based on high-density lithium-ion cells, which are known for their long service life and efficiency. The battery cells are arranged in modules and racks to provide the required capacity and voltage.
-
Battery Management System (BMS): The BMS acts as the "brain" of the battery unit by continuously monitoring key parameters such as voltage, temperature, and current. It ensures safe operation, balances cell voltages, and regulates cooling to prevent overheating—a crucial factor for the longevity of the battery system.
-
Inverter or Power Conversion System (PCS): As the "drive" Within the system, the PCS converts direct current (DC) from the batteries to alternating current (AC) for powering electrical consumers or feeding into the grid. The system also enables the reverse process by converting alternating current to direct current to charge the batteries when needed. This bidirectional functionality ensures efficient control of the energy flow.
-
Energy Management System (EMS): As the "control center" of the entire system, the EMS monitors and optimizes all operating processes. It collects real-time data such as state of charge (SOC), voltage, and current, analyzes it, and controls the charging and discharging processes based on it. Using intelligent algorithms, the EMS ensures that the system operates efficiently, stably, and safely.
