Integrating solar, storage, and EV logistics under tight grid constraints
The situation
- A facility with an existing solar installation added a large battery energy storage system and high-power EV chargers.
- The site operates with a limited grid connection and is subject to strict contractual limits on both electricity import and export.
- Electric trucks must be fully charged each morning before commencing distribution operations.
What was built
- The Teleport was installed to connect and coordinate the on-site inverters, battery system, EV chargers, and metering infrastructure.
- A battery peak-shaving application continuously monitors the main grid connection, automatically balancing solar generation, battery storage, and vehicle charging in real time.
- The control strategy prioritises charging the battery first, enabling vehicles to draw power later from both the battery and the limited grid connection.
The result
- Steddion successfully integrated a high-capacity energy system onto a heavily constrained grid connection without compromising operational reliability.
- The electric fleet is fully charged and ready for morning distribution schedules.
- The end customer avoids power interruptions by utilising stored battery energy whenever grid capacity is insufficient.
