Why Proper Selection Matters
Selecting the correct battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity and power is essential for optimizing energy efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
- Avoid Resource Waste: Oversized systems increase upfront investment and maintenance costs, while undersized systems risk power outages and increased generator fuel consumption.
- Extend Equipment Lifespan: A well-matched energy storage system minimizes generator start/stop cycles, reducing wear and tear.
- Boost Sustainability: Foxtheon’s hybrid technology reduces fuel consumption by up to 40%, and proper sizing can further amplify this advantage.
How to Determine the Right BESS Size
Key Factors to Consider
Load Analysis:
- Peak Power: Identify the maximum instantaneous power demand (e.g., crane startups, crusher load surges).
- Daily Energy Consumption: Calculate the total energy consumption in kWh per day.
- Operational Pattern: Determine whether the load is continuous (e.g., tunnel lighting) or intermittent (e.g., piling machine operations).
Energy Mix:
- Solar Hybrid Applications: If combined with solar power, consider local solar conditions to adjust storage capacity.
- Diesel-Storage Systems: Size the storage system to handle generator startup delays and sudden load increases.
Environmental Adaptability:
- Add 10%-20% capacity redundancy for high-temperature, low-temperature, or high-altitude environments.
Applications and Recommended Solutions
Case 1: Tunnel Power Supply
- Load Characteristics: 24/7 operation, including ventilation, lighting, and tunnel boring machines (peak power: 500kW).
- Recommended Solution:
- Hybrid Generator HP1000 (1000kVA): Combines a generator and BESS to manage peak power demands.
- Benefits: Stores excess power during low-demand periods and supplies power during low-efficiency generator phases.
Case 2: Mining Microgrid
- Load Characteristics: Intermittent high-power surges (e.g., crushers and conveyors), with a daily energy demand of 2,000kWh.
- Recommended Solution:
- Hybrid Generator HP1000-HP1400: Select based on peak power requirements.
- Benefits: Reduces fuel consumption by over 45% by meeting instantaneous power needs and storing excess energy.
Case 3: Construction Crane Power Supply
- Load Characteristics: Short-term high-power demand (crane startup current can be three times the rated value), operating 6 hours per day.
- Recommended Solution:
- HP750 Hybrid Generator (750kVA) or P200 + Generator:
- Benefits: HP750 supports short-term overload (up to 110%) and smoothens load fluctuations via FoxMind EMS.
Case 4: Off-grid Office Power Supply
- Load Characteristics: Continuous operation of office devices (computers, printers, air conditioning), with a daily energy demand of 100kWh.
- Recommended Solution:
- EnergyPack P100/M100 + Solar Panels + Generator:
- Benefits: Delivers 24/7 reliable power with zero emissions and noise, creating a sustainable working environment.
