NC-v4 EAc4:Demand response

Battery Storage System

Hi there,

we are working in a project where the deisgn team wants to install a battery storage system, which can store energy when the energy price is lower, allowing its use when the grid demand is high, therefore reducing grid demand in peak periods).

We think this system may be considered towards this credit purpose (reducing grid demand in peak periods), namely in case 2 - Demand response program not available, however the reference guide is not clear if the demand reduction required must be in the grid. 

Has anyone had experience with this system used in the credit? How can we demonstrate compliance, if applicable? 

Thank in advance

We have not done this on a project but it should qualify. Make sure that the system has the capacity to be controlled remotely on a signal from the utility. You demonstrate compliance the same way you would do with any demand response strategy, you demonstrate that the control systems are in place to reduce the project's demand by at least 10%.
