Energy storage systems for commerce and industry.

In energy-intensive industries such as manufacturing, sudden peak loads can lead to high electricity costs. This is because industrial electricity tariffs include demand charges, which increase significantly during short-term consumption peaks.

The reason: industrial electricity tariffs include demand charges that increase significantly with short-term consumption spikes.

With a Mercedes-Benz Energy Storage System, these peaks can be efficiently balanced (peak shaving). Cost-effectively sourced energy is stored and used during peak times to reduce the load. This keeps demand charges stable and significantly lowers overall electricity costs.

Benefits of load management with MBESS:

✔ Cost savings through reduced peak loads

✔ Lower demand charges in industrial electricity tariffs

✔ Greater independence and security against grid fluctuations

Renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind power often generate electricity independently of actual demand. Without storage, surplus energy is lost or must be fed into the grid under unfavourable conditions.

A Mercedes-Benz Energy Storage System decouples generation from consumption by storing excess energy and making it available precisely when needed. This maximises self-consumption and allows surplus energy to be fed into the grid at optimal times for higher returns.

Benefits of storage integration:

✔ Higher self-consumption, lower electricity costs

✔ Flexible grid feed-in for maximum returns

✔ Grid stabilisation through demand-driven use of stored energy

The 50 Hz grid frequency (in Europe) is a key factor in ensuring a stable electricity supply. Fluctuations occur when power generation and consumption are out of balance. Without targeted countermeasures, such deviations can compromise grid stability or even lead to disruptions.

The Mercedes-Benz Energy Storage System (MBESS) responds to frequency fluctuations in real time, helping to stabilise the grid. If the frequency drops below the target value, the system feeds stored energy into the grid. If it rises above the target, MBESS absorbs excess energy. This ensures a constant balance between generation and consumption.

Benefits of frequency regulation with MBESS:

✔ Real-time response to frequency fluctuations for maximum grid stability

✔ Ensures balance between power generation and consumption

✔ Participation in the balancing power market for economic optimisation

✔ Compensation for balancing power fluctuations through optimised charge/discharge management

A stable power grid is essential for a secure energy supply. Fluctuations in frequency and voltage can not only affect the quality of the grid, but can also disrupt sensitive electronic equipment or cause production downtime. In energy-intensive industries, grid instability is a serious risk.

The Mercedes-Benz Energy Storage System (MBESS) actively balances grid fluctuations by instantly supplying or absorbing energy as needed. This minimises frequency and voltage fluctuations and increases overall grid reliability. Thanks to efficient battery technology, this stabilisation is achieved with minimal energy loss.

Benefits of grid stabilisation with MBESS:

✔ Real-time monitoring and stabilisation of frequency and voltage

✔ Protection of sensitive electrical equipment from grid fluctuations

✔ Prevention of production downtime through reliable energy supply

✔ Efficient grid balancing with minimal energy loss

Reducing CO₂ emissions is one of the greatest challenges of our time. To achieve this, the expansion of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind power is essential. However, their uncontrollable availability is a major challenge for companies: how can clean energy be made available exactly when it is needed?

With the Mercedes-Benz Energy Storage System (MBESS), surplus energy from renewable sources in public power grids can be stored efficiently and used precisely when it is needed. This not only ensures a stable energy supply but also improves the CO₂ footprint of production sites.

Benefits of CO₂ reduction with MBESS:

✔ Efficient storage and utilisation of clean energy

✔ Counter-cyclical availability of renewable energy sources

✔ Support for a sustainable and low-emission energy consumption
