Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the construction period for a energy storage power station? Is it necessary to cut off the power supply? If so, how long will the power outage last?
Once the formalities are completed, the actual construction period will take approximately 1 to 1.5 months. A brief power outage will be required for the installation of the grid-connected switchgear, and the outage will last about 2 hours.
After the energy storage power station is completed, who will be responsible for its operation and maintenance? Is it necessary for personnel from the owner’s side to participate?
For customers who choose a specific integrator, once the energy storage power station is completed, the integrator will be responsible for its operation and maintenance. Additionally, the integrator will typically provide basic training to relevant personnel from the owner’s side and offer guidance on handling special situations.
Will energy storage power stations increase the basic electricity charges for the owner?
No. If the billing is based on capacity, the basic electricity charge is inherently fixed. However, if the billing is based on demand, it’s possible that energy storage discharging to meet the load could reduce the peak demand, thereby lowering the basic electricity charge.
When designing the energy storage capacity, the transformer capacity and load have already been taken into account, ensuring that energy storage charging will not cause an increase in demand. If the charging were to result in a higher demand, the energy management system (EMS) would automatically detect this and halt the energy storage charging process.
Do energy storage power stations incur losses? If losses do occur, which party is responsible for them?
There is wear and tear; the wear and tear has already been factored into and deducted from the profit-sharing arrangement between the two parties.
Is the metering at the energy storage power station accurate?
Accurately, all installed electricity meters are metering devices that comply with national standards and have passed inspection.
Who is responsible for safety issues at energy storage power stations?
If the equipment provided by Party B causes a malfunction or loss/damage to Party A’s equipment, Party B shall compensate Party A for any resulting losses. Meanwhile, during the term of the contract, Party B shall be responsible for obtaining insurance coverage for machinery damage and all-risk property insurance related to the project, and shall bear the associated insurance premiums. The amount insured under the property insurance policy shall not be less than the actual value of the insured property.
