- Construction Period of Energy Storage Station? Does It Require Power Outage? How Long?
After the formalities are settled, the official construction period is about 1-1.5 months; a short power outage is needed for the installation of the grid connection cabinet, with the shortest outage time being about 2 hours.
- Operation and Maintenance of Energy Storage Station After Completion: Is the Owner Involved?
For customers who choose a certain integrated operator, after the completion of the energy storage station, the integrated operator will be responsible for operation and maintenance. They will also provide basic training to the owner’s staff and offer solutions for special circumstances.
- Will an Energy Storage Station Increase the Basic Electricity Cost for the Owner?
No. If it’s based on capacity fees, the basic electricity cost is fixed. If it’s based on demand fees, there’s a possibility that the energy storage discharges the load, reducing the maximum demand and thus lowering the basic electricity cost. During the energy storage capacity design, the capacity of the transformer and the load have been considered. The demand will not increase due to energy storage charging. If it increases the demand, the Energy Management System (EMS) will automatically determine and stop the energy storage charging.
- Are There Losses in the Energy Storage Station? Who Is Responsible?
Some losses have been considered and deducted during the revenue sharing between both parties.
- Is the Measurement of the Energy Storage Station Accurate?
All installed electricity meters meet national standards and have passed inspection.
- Who Is Responsible for the Safety Issues of the Energy Storage Station?
If Party B’s equipment causes Party A’s equipment failure or destruction, Party B will compensate for the losses suffered by Party A. At the same time, Party B is responsible for ensuring machinery damage insurance and property insurance related to the project during the contract performance period and bears the insurance cost. The property insurance amount should not be less than the actual value of the insured property.
- Is Power Outage Needed for Daily Operation of Energy Storage Station?
The daily operation of the power station does not require a power outage.
- Will Switching of Energy Storage Station Cause Power Flicker?
Energy storage equipment will not have a negative impact on the quality of electricity for users.
- During Emergency Power Supply of Energy Storage Station, Instantaneous Connection/Manual Adjustment
Switching strategies need to be set in advance. Unlike UPS, energy storage equipment cannot achieve fully automatic switching.
- Does Energy Storage Equipment Need to Be Replaced After Reaching Certain Wear and Tear, Who Bears the Cost?
The main wear and tear part of energy storage equipment is the battery core. The health of the battery core will decrease with the increase of usage time. Once it decreases to a certain level, the integrated operator will be responsible for replacement.
