What is Generator Peak Shaving?

Peak shaving generally refers to smoothing out the peak electricity consumption of industrial and commercial users. Peak shaving is the process of reducing the amount of energy purchased from public utilities during peak energy demand periods. Monitoring these power consumption peaks is not only important for grid stability, but also affects utility costs. These costs are usually charged based on the maximum peak load, which means that due to the grid load and the amount of electricity that must be generated, costs will be incurred to adapt to these peak loads and electricity demands.

How does peak shaving work?

In short, peak shaving allows consumers to reduce their electricity consumption during intermittent periods (known as "load shedding") to avoid peak electricity consumption. This can be achieved by using commercial on-site generators.

Usually, generator equipment companies and power plants use the main generator to offset the electricity provided by utility units, or to use the main generator when their stations are unable to provide power. This is usually done during peak electricity usage, a process known as load management or peak shaving. This helps to reduce costs during peak periods.

Other applications for peak shaving

Peak shaving is not only beneficial for avoiding the costs of public utilities. Peak units may also benefit from demand response incentive plans, which always aim to reduce regional energy demand during periods considered "peak load" (i.e. the time of day when electricity demand is highest).

This may or may not be a feasible option, depending on the region and location, as EPA level regulations and regulations vary from place to place. According to its expected application, all generators must comply with specific EPA emission regulations.

If you are interested in peak shaving but unsure if your generator is qualified, please contact Dingbo Power for consultation. Dingbo Power provides emission upgrades, which may help you meet the regulations and rules established by the EPA.

If your generator meets the requirements of demand response incentives, you will be able to utilize a strategy called "put back", where you can profit from unused energy and sell back electricity to the market.
