Služby výkonové rovnováhy (SVR)

Jak baterie vydělává stabilizací sítě (SVR)

ČEPS udržuje rovnováhu mezi výrobou a spotřebou. Pokud se síť vychýlí, baterie umí během sekund dodat nebo odebrat výkon. Za připravenost a aktivaci získáváte finanční odměnu.

Řídící centrum elektrizační soustavy a monitorovací panely

Jak SVR fungují?

Provozovatel přenosové soustavy ČEPS průběžně hlídá rovnováhu mezi výrobou a spotřebou. Když se systém vychýlí (frekvence/rovnováha výkonu), aktivují se regulační zdroje. Bateriové úložiště reaguje automaticky – během sekund dodá nebo odebere výkon podle aktivačního signálu.

Aktivace v řádu sekund

Aktivační signál přichází z dispečinku (typicky přes agregátora). Baterie automaticky dodá nebo odebere výkon podle požadovaného regulačního profilu.

Odměna za disponibilitu i aktivaci

Výnos se obvykle skládá z platby za připravenost (disponibilitu) a platby za skutečně dodaný/odebraný regulační výkon.

Řízení, monitoring a reporting 24/7

Řízení baterie, komunikaci a vyhodnocení zajišťuje automatizovaný systém. Vy máte přehled přes reporting; aktivní zásah je potřeba jen výjimečně.

What BESS is most often used for

Main BESS use cases

Every project has different goals. Below are the scenarios where BESS most often delivers value— from peak shaving and PV optimization to backup for critical loads.

Peak shaving

Reduce peak demand and stabilize import—often driven by reserved capacity and capacity charges.

  • lower peak demand
  • controlled power over time

PV + battery (higher self-consumption)

Store PV surplus and use it later (evening/peaks). Helps also with export limitation.

  • fewer exports
  • better PV utilization

Backup and operational continuity

Coverage for outages and transitions (as designed). Important for IT, production and building technologies.

  • fast response
  • backup modes tailored to operations

Load shifting

Charge off-peak and discharge during peaks—aimed at operational optimization and predictability.

  • shift consumption in time
  • better planning

Interconnection constraints / power control

If import or generation is limited, controlled BESS helps keep power within limits without restricting operations.

  • power under control
  • embedded in operating rules

Monitoring, reporting, supervision

Storage value is created in operations. We set up monitoring, alarms and dashboards for engineers and management.

  • alarms and service modes
  • metering and data export

Tip: If you also manage on-site consumption (lighting and building technologies), our smart lighting can be a strong add-on.

When BESS delivers the most value

We don’t push “a battery at any cost”. We look for clear value—that we can calculate, design and verify in operation.

  • Peak shaving – reduce peaks and often the reserved capacity.
  • PV + self-consumption – higher use of generated energy, fewer exports.
  • Backup / UPS – continuity for critical technologies, IT and production.
  • Flexibility – controllable power for grid/market services (per project rules).
  • Operational stability – better on-site energy control, supervision, alarms.
The result must be measurable

We build on data (profiles), operating scenarios and clear KPIs—then deliver monitoring and reporting.

One accountable partner

Engineering, electrical works, controls and handover—less risk and faster delivery.

What we need to start

You can start with minimal information. The final design is built on data and an on-site review.

  • primary goal: savings, backup, PV, peaks, flexibility
  • basic demand data (invoices / 15-minute data if available)
  • info about interconnection, transformer, switchboards, installation space
  • control/integration needs (BMS, automation, SCADA, fire system)

With battery storage

  • Reserved capacity 350 kW
  • Monthly capacity charge ~ €3,409
  • Annual distribution costs
    €40,907 Savings 30%
How it works: At the moment your consumption exceeds the set limit of 350 kW (orange line), the BESS automatically supplies the missing power from the battery. This "shaves" the grid consumption peak, allowing you to reduce reserved capacity with the distributor and save tens of thousands of euros annually.

* The stated values are illustrative for HV (high voltage) and are based on list prices for reserved capacity (approx. €9,740/MW/month). Actual savings may vary depending on your distribution tariff, location, and consumption profile. Contact us for an accurate calculation.

Safety is the core discipline in BESS projects

Storage is a power system with high energy density. That’s why safety is part of the design: layout, monitoring, operating modes, alarms and handover documentation.

  • Risk assessment and safety scenarios (normal operation, fault, service).
  • Detection & alarms (temperature, smoke/gases per concept, BMS/PCS states).
  • Segmentation and shutdown – emergency stop, disconnection logic, service modes.
  • HVAC and operating conditions – for lifetime and stable performance.
  • Handover documentation + operator training + recommended maintenance plan.

Note: Specific safety elements depend on size, technology and placement (indoor/outdoor), investor requirements and applicable regulations for the project.

Quality milestones during delivery

High-value projects require a controllable process—so we use clear milestones and checkpoints.

1) Concept & sizing

Goal, data, modes, interconnection limits, power/energy sizing and benefit forecast.

2) Safety design

Placement, segmentation, alarms, shutdown logic, operating rules and documentation.

3) Integration & control

EMS/SCADA, metering, communications, limits, reporting and BMS/automation integration.

4) Commissioning

Protective tests, operating modes, load scenarios, handover and training.

Where BESS delivers the strongest business case

BESS brings the most value where energy is no longer just an operating line item, but a strategic topic. Typically this means manufacturing sites, logistics centers, technology-heavy operations, facilities with higher demand peaks, companies with PV, or operations where even a short outage translates into financial loss.

Most often we design storage for companies dealing with one of these situations: high charges for reserved capacity, an unstable load profile, interconnection constraints, PV surplus, the need to back up critical technologies, or an interest in flexibility and ancillary services.

But one rule always applies: the battery must deliver measurable value in real operation. That’s why we base the design on data, operating modes and the investor’s goal—not on a “feeling”.

Manufacturing companies & industry

BESS helps reduce peaks, stabilize operations, protect sensitive technologies, and manage energy in line with production.

Logistics, warehouses & sites

Where loads vary, equipment charging, refrigeration, or the need for energy stability is present, storage often makes excellent sense.

Municipalities, public buildings & energy projects

In public-sector and larger energy applications, the key value is often the combination of PV, consumption control, backup, interconnection limits, and long-term operational oversight.

BESS delivery scope

What’s typically included in a BESS delivery in practice

With BESS, it’s not just about the battery itself. In real projects, design, safety, electrical works, controls, and handover must fit together. That’s why we treat BESS as an end-to-end project—not a standalone technology delivery.

A typical scope includes load and operating-scenario analysis, power and capacity sizing, a safety concept, engineering documentation, grid-connection preparation, EMS/SCADA integration, parametrization, testing, commissioning, documentation, and a recommended service regime.

Depending on the project, it can also include PV integration, switchboards, metering, export/flow control, backed-up circuits, communication with a higher-level system, and preparation for flexibility and ancillary services.

Data-driven analysis & sizing

We evaluate load profiles and operating scenarios, then size kW/kWh and operating modes for measurable value in real operation.

Electrical connection & controls

Connection, metering, communications, and integration into EMS/SCADA or a higher-level system—including limits and supervision.

Safety concept & engineering

Safety is part of the design: placement, scenarios, and operating rules—so delivery and handover run without improvisation.

Commissioning, handover & service

Testing, parametrization, training, and a complete handover package—plus a recommended service regime based on criticality.

BESS often makes the most sense as part of a broader energy solution

A standalone storage system can be the right path, but in many operations the biggest value appears when BESS is part of a wider technical setup. Typically that means combining it with PV, switchboards, electrical inspections, energy metering, and consumption control.

If your project depends on other site technologies, we can deliver the related parts as well—so the result works as one coherent system, not as a set of disconnected supplies.

Most common questions before deciding on BESS

How quickly can we tell if BESS makes sense for us?

As a first step, we typically only need basic information about your operation, the approximate project goal, and ideally consumption data. From that, we can already estimate whether the main potential is peak shaving, backup, PV, flexibility, or a combination.

Do we need PV for BESS to make sense?

Not necessarily. BESS can work standalone for peak reduction, power management, backup, or operational stability. PV is often beneficial, but it’s not a requirement.

Do you handle sites with a limited connection or without increasing reserved capacity?

Yes. This is one of the most common reasons BESS enters the discussion. A properly designed system helps keep power within limits without having to restrict operations.

Can you deliver larger projects with controls, switchboards, and documentation?

Yes. For larger projects, this is essential. It’s not only about the technology delivery, but about getting the whole system through engineering, safety, commissioning and handover without improvisation.

Can BESS be designed for future expansion?

Yes. In many cases it makes sense to design the project so power, capacity, or additional control modes can be added in a later phase.

When BESS makes sense, the design must be precise

With battery storage, mistakes happen most often not during installation, but already in the brief. The wrong power, an unsuitable operating mode, weak integration, or underestimated safety can devalue even expensive technology. That’s why we start with the goal, data, and operational constraints—only then does it make sense to discuss a specific configuration.

Frequently asked questions

How do we know whether BESS makes financial sense?

We start with data (load profile / 15-minute data, tariffs, and optionally PV) and the project goal. We calculate value for peak shaving, reducing reserved capacity, load shifting, increasing PV self-consumption, and/or backup. What matters most is how the battery is operated (when and how it charges/discharges), not only the energy capacity.

How big does the storage need to be (kW / kWh / MWh)?

Sizing is driven by demand peaks, connection limits, required backup duration, tariff structure and PV integration. We propose power (kW), energy (kWh/MWh) and an appropriate C-rate so the battery delivers value in real operation and maintains reasonable lifetime.

What are typical BESS applications for companies and municipalities?

Most common: peak shaving (reducing peaks), increasing PV self-consumption, limiting export and controlling power, load shifting, backup for critical technologies, and—where suitable—energy flexibility under the project’s rules and constraints.

Can you design BESS as backup (backup/UPS) for critical operations?

Yes. We design backup based on load priorities and required coverage time. We define transition scenarios, shedding logic and commissioning tests so the result is verified and safe.

How do you address BESS safety (risks, detection, shutdown)?

Safety is part of the design: placement, segmentation, operating modes, emergency shutdown, monitoring and alarm states (BMS/PCS) and site-specific fire/operational rules. Commissioning includes tests of protective and safety functions.

Do you integrate with EMS/SCADA and connect to BMS/automation systems?

Yes. We set communication, power limits, alarms, logging and reporting. Depending on the project, we integrate into EMS/SCADA and related systems (BMS/automation) so operation is controlled, auditable and serviceable.

How do you handle connection constraints and power control (import/export limits)?

We design control around interconnection conditions and operational requirements. BESS can help keep power within limits (import and, where relevant, export), stabilize demand and reduce peak impacts without restricting site operations.

What is included in commissioning and what documents do we receive?

Commissioning includes parameterization, tests, mode verification and load scenarios, operator training and handover protocols. We deliver configuration summary (limits, modes, alarms), maintenance recommendations and—depending on scope—documents for required inspections.

What service do you provide—can you offer SLA?

We provide warranty and post-warranty service, preventive inspections, monitoring, configuration management, updates and response times based on operational criticality. SLA is tailored to your operating mode and outage impact.

Can BESS be used for SVR (ancillary services) or flexibility?

Yes—when it makes sense for the project and technical/operational conditions are met. We design control modes, metering and data outputs to meet requirements for operation and evaluation. The final setup always follows the goal, interconnection and chosen control concept.
