Applications

PQpluS is a versatile Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) designed to optimise energy use, enhance grid stability, and support the transition to cleaner power. Its key applications include:

  • Peak Shaving: Reduces energy costs by discharging stored power during peak demand periods, helping avoid utility penalties and ensuring a more balanced load profile.

  • Time-of-Use Optimisation: Enables users to store energy from RES or the grid during off-peak hours and use it during expensive peak times, without changing consumption habits.

  • Renewable Integration: Acts as a buffer for intermittent sources like solar and wind, storing excess energy and releasing it when generation drops, thus stabilising the grid.

  • EV Charging Support: Powers fast EV chargers in remote or grid-constrained areas, reducing the need for costly grid upgrades.

  • Black-Start Capability: Restores power independently after outages, supporting grid recovery and enhancing energy resilience.

  • Seamless Grid Transitions: Smoothly switches between grid-tied and off-grid modes (and back), maintaining a power supply and improving waveform quality
