Battery energy storage systems can enable EV fast charging build-out in areas with limited power grid capacity, reduce charging and utility costs through peak shaving, and boost energy storage capacity to allow for EV charging in the event of a power grid disruption or outage.
This scenario would double the demand charge. Energy Storage Systems can help stations to balance this load and significantly reduce demand charge which helps cut the costs of a charging station by 70% according to studies. This allows stations to break even much faster. Enables Peak Shaving
For another example, review the Joint Offce of Energy and Transportation's (Joint Offce's) technical assistance case study Grid-Constrained Electric Vehicle Fast Charging Sites: Battery-Buffered Options. A battery energy storage system can help manage DCFC energy use to reduce strain on the power grid during high-cost times of day.
For the purpose of Section 1206.17, charging and storage covers the operation where mobile energy storage systems are charged and stored so they are ready for deployment to another site, and where they are charged and stored after a deployment. 1206.17.2 Deployment.
