Thomas Riedel GmbH adopts smart energy solutions with PV and battery storage
At be.storaged, we are proud to highlight Thomas Riedel GmbH’s major step toward energy efficiency and sustainability with the implementation of a cutting-edge photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage system.
Now fully operational, the project integrates a 1 MWp solar array with a 1.38 MWh battery capacity, optimizing energy consumption, reducing costs, and increasing self-sufficiency.
A Smart Solution for Energy Management
The system is managed by our advanced energy management platform, okean, which enables Thomas Riedel GmbH to achieve the following:
- Maximize Self-Consumption:
The system maximizes on-site energy usage by storing surplus power in the batteries and deploying it when demand exceeds generation. - Reduce Energy Costs:
Our smart automation shifts energy usage to times when electricity prices are lowest. The battery charges itself with inexpensive electricity and releases the stored energy when electricity prices rise. - Control Peak Demand:
okean helps prevent costly demand spikes by strategically distributing power, thereby lowering grid fees.
Project Execution & Collaboration
This project was executed in close collaboration with EWE Vertrieb, which handled the PV installation, and with us at be.storaged, who managed the battery supply and system integration. With the system now fully connected to the facility’s grid, Thomas Riedel GmbH has gained independence from volatile energy prices while also capitalizing on favorable market conditions by selling surplus electricity at advantageous times.
Operational Benefits and Long-Term Impact
By combining PV generation with battery storage and utilizing okean, Thomas Riedel GmbH is now able to:
- Enhance Self-Sufficiency:
A significant portion of the facility’s energy needs is now met through self-generated and stored power, reducing reliance on the grid. - Reduce Energy Costs:
Smart energy management enables cost savings by taking advantage of dynamic pricing and minimizing peak loads. - Improve Sustainability:
The facility reduces its carbon footprint by optimizing renewable energy use and decreasing its dependency on fossil-fuel-based electricity.
