Industrial Energy Storage Use Cases. 1. Demand Response and Load Shifting. Industries often face peak demand charges, where electricity costs more during high-demand periods. Energy storage systems can store energy during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper and release it during peak hours, reducing energy costs significantly. 2.

Industrial facilities are considered to be the leading users of energy at 54% of the world''s total delivered energy (Haiwei and Wang, 2009). Therefore, ES technologies should be matched to a facility to reduce or shift maximum power demands away from the power plant, a process known as demand-side management (DSM).
