Business Requirements
The small business, a local office space, requires a backup power system to protect its computers, servers, and other critical equipment during power outages. Additionally, the business aims to optimize its energy consumption and reduce its electricity costs by using on - site renewable energy, such as a small wind turbine installed on the roof.
Battery Setup
Three EVE 230AH 3.2V batteries were installed in a dedicated battery room within the office building. The batteries were connected to the wind turbine system and the building's electrical grid. A smart energy management system was implemented to control the charging and discharging of the batteries based on the power availability and demand.
Performance Evaluation
Sufficient Capacity: The 230AH capacity of each battery has provided enough energy to keep the critical office equipment running for several hours during power outages. For example, during a recent storm that caused a power outage in the area, the batteries powered the office for over 6 hours, allowing the employees to save their work and continue some operations remotely.
Good Cycle Life: With a cycle life of ≥4000 times, the batteries have been able to withstand the regular charge - discharge cycles in the office environment. Over the past two - and - a - half years, the capacity of the batteries has remained stable, ensuring long - term reliability of the backup power system.
Low Internal Resistance: The internal resistance of ≤0.3mΩ has led to efficient charging and discharging. The batteries can quickly charge from the wind turbine when there is sufficient wind, and they can discharge steadily to meet the power demands of the office equipment. This has improved the overall energy efficiency of the business.
Business Benefits
The 5 - year warranty provided by EVE has reduced the maintenance costs for the business. The use of the battery storage system has not only ensured the continuity of business operations during power outages but also helped the business to reduce its electricity costs by using more renewable energy. The efficient energy management system, in combination with the EVE batteries, has been a valuable asset for the small business.
