As State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) implement dynamic Time-of-Day (ToD) power tariffs across India, commercial establishments face higher tariff rates during evening peak windows. Commercial BESS systems offer peak-shaving solutions when paired with solar PV.
Key Financial Drivers of BESS
- Peak Shaving: Storing cheap afternoon solar power and discharging during high evening tariff hours.
- DG Replacement: Reducing carbon footprint and operational fuel costs associated with diesel generator gensets.
- Demand Charge Optimization: Avoiding heavy DISCOM penalties for exceeding contract demand.
