Standstill is the most expensive operating state

In production every hour counts: a power failure interrupts running orders, can damage workpieces and machines, and endangers delivery dates. In server rooms, data loss and service outages loom. At the same time, saws, presses, compressors and CNC machines create short start-up peaks that define the demand charge for the whole year on metered tariffs.

• Production lines continue in a controlled way during outages
• Servers and controls stay powered without interruption
• Inrush currents of large machines are buffered
• No more artificially staggering machine start-ups
• PV power from the hall roof covers the base load

How it works

From cost factor to competitive edge

1. Cap load peaks

   The battery supplies the short-term extra power when machines start in parallel. The grid demand peak drops — and with it the demand charge.

2. Backup power & black start

   During an outage the battery keeps critical systems running; on the OmniCube, switchover takes under 20 milliseconds per the manufacturer's datasheet.

3. Optimise self-consumption

   Commercial halls have large roofs: PV plus storage cuts purchases of expensive grid power — especially during the morning and afternoon peaks.

The right technology

Values per the OmniCube A215 manufacturer datasheet:

• 215 kWh capacity, 100 kW output
• Backup switchover < 20 ms (with STS)
• Cycle-proof: > 6,000 cycles @ 80 % EOL
• Pre-integrated all-in-one system, fast commissioning
• Scalable into the MWh class (up to 10 units in parallel)
