NLPrevent peak impact before it impacts your returns
Grid costs are not determined by total energy consumption
They are determined by peak demand.
One 15-minute spike can increase your monthly charges.
One unmanaged peak can raise your contracted capacity for years.
One congestion event can lead to unnecessary infrastructure investments.
Enova prevents those moments before they happen.
Not by slowing down production. But by actively controlling flexible power within the limits of your operation.
What Peak Shaving really means today
Peak Shaving is about demand discipline.
The system continuously monitors your load profile and intervenes before a critical threshold is exceeded.
Not as an emergency measure. Not through manual intervention. But through automated, predefined control.
This can include:
- Temporary battery discharge
- Short load shifts within processes
- Intelligent use of existing buffers
- Redistributing power across your portfolio
The goal is not to use less energy. The goal is to use your power more intelligently.
When peak demand is controlled, capacity charges decrease, congestion costs are reduced, and grid reinforcement can often be postponed.
Where the savings originate
Grid costs are not linear. They are driven by peak demand.
That means your highest 15-minute peaks directly affect:
- Monthly capacity charges
- Annual congestion fees
- Contracted capacity increases
- Future grid investments
One uncontrolled peak can cost more than weeks of stable consumption.
Peak Shaving prevents a single moment from defining your yearly performance.
And it does so without disrupting your operation.
How Enova controls Peak Shaving
Peak Shaving is not separate from your market strategy or operational planning.
It is fully integrated into the Enova control system.
We:
- Analyse your historical peak demand profile
- Identify critical threshold values
- Model available power capacity
- Define operational guardrails
- Connect control logic to real-time market and grid conditions
Control is managed through our Energy Control layer and executed in Dispatch Control.
This ensures that peak reduction does not conflict with:
- Trading positions
- Balancing obligations
- Production planning
Everything is managed as one integrated system. That is the difference between a standalone peak tool and structural power management.
What this yields
Lower structural grid costs.
Reduced risk of contracted capacity increases.
More predictability in your energy budget.
For operations, it creates stability.
For finance, it creates control and helps postpone unnecessary investments, improving cash flow.
Peak Shaving does not create a new revenue stream. It protects and optimises your existing margin.
One integrated system
Peak Shaving does not operate in isolation. Within Energy Control, it works together with:
