The examples describe common sites, not specific customers. The site analysis shows what fits your site.
Grocery and retail
A store uses electricity around the clock, but the peaks come when a lot starts at once.
Where the peaks come from
Ventilation and heating start before opening, refrigeration and freezers run all the time, and defrosting and EV charging for customers come on top. The highest hours are often in the morning and early afternoon.
What PeakGuard does
PeakGuard controls ventilation and heating through the building control system (SD-anlegg), so start-up is staggered and falls in cheap hours. EV charging is adjusted so it does not set a new peak. Control of refrigeration, freezers and defrosting is assessed per project.
What the analysis looks at
When the peaks happen, how much refrigeration and charging contribute, and whether a battery pays for the peaks that remain.
Warehouses, cold stores and workshops
In warehouses and workshops, the peaks often come at the start of a shift, when everything is switched on at once.
Where the peaks come from
Heating large halls, compressors, doors left open and charging forklifts and vans. In cold stores, the refrigeration compressors come on top.
What PeakGuard does
PeakGuard controls the heating through the building control system and moves van charging to the night and the cheap hours, so the vans are charged by morning. Compressors and other process loads are assessed per project.
What the analysis looks at
What the start of a shift costs in capacity charge, what can be started in turn, and whether short, high peaks are better handled with a battery.
Hotels and office buildings
In hotels and office buildings, the biggest peak often comes early in the morning.
Where the peaks come from
Ventilation and heating start at the same time, hot water is reheated when guests shower, and staff and guests charge EVs when they arrive.
What PeakGuard does
PeakGuard heats the building and the hot water in cheap hours before the peak, controls ventilation through the building control system and spreads EV charging across the day.
What the analysis looks at
How much of the morning peak can be moved, and what limits you want for temperature and hot water.
Agriculture
Many farms have a small grid connection, so peaks hit hard, both in capacity charge and when more equipment needs connecting.
Where the peaks come from
Milk cooling and hot water for washing after milking, grain drying in season and heating in winter.
What PeakGuard does
PeakGuard heats the hot water outside the peaks and in cheap hours, and warns before a new peak is set. Control of the water heater is set up for each farm, and the analysis checks how it can be connected. Milk cooling and grain drying are assessed per project. If the connection is too small, a battery can take the peaks so it does not have to be upgraded.
What the analysis looks at
How the peaks are spread over the day and the year, and whether a battery pays better than upgrading the connection and paying a connection fee.
