The energy paradox: How to turn renewable waste into savings during demand peaks
Omnetics launches its new High-Speed version of the Nano-D connector
The current energy market is facing an unprecedented paradox that is directly affecting the industry. On one hand, we have surplus energy; on the other, we pay extremely high penalties for consuming it. How is this possible.
The double challenge of modern industry
- The “over‑generation” trap: The rise of renewable energies has caused us to produce far more energy than we can consume during the central hours of the day. In Europe, this non‑storable excess (“over‑generation”) is equivalent to the annual consumption of the entire city of London, forcing us to waste energy and driving prices down to negative values in countries like Spain.
- The hidden cost of “Peak Demand”: Internally, your company faces the startup of heavy machinery or simultaneous processes that generate spikes in electrical consumption. These peaks not only stress the grid but also drive the power term on your bill sky‑high and trigger severe financial penalties.
We have a surplus of cheap energy at midday that goes to waste, and a critical need for power at specific moments for which we pay a premium.
The integrated solution: Connecting the dots with Ampowr
The answer to both issues converges in a single technology: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
As authorized distributors of Ampowr through RC Microelectrónica, we provide the technology you need to turn this paradox into profitability:
- Smart Storage: It captures surplus solar energy (either from your own panels or by taking advantage of the extremely low grid prices during over‑generation) instead of letting it go to waste.
- Peak Shaving: It uses that same stored, low‑cost energy to power your machinery during demand peaks. Your grid consumption remains flat, eliminating power‑excess penalties at the source.
- Infrastructure Optimization: It prevents the need to make costly investments to increase your electrical grid connection capacity.
Ampowr’s BESS storage is not just a battery; it is a financial manager that buys cheap, avoids waste, and protects you from penalties.
The Ampowr range includes single‑phase and three‑phase home systems, as well as systems that can reach power levels of up to 1 MW for commercial and industrial projects.
