Forged aluminium wheel manufacturer, Yunlin
Problem
assess behind the meter storage for a forged aluminium wheel producer with a power intensive forging and machining load.
Work
- profiled the demand driven by heavy forging and machining equipment, and assessed storage against the resulting load shape and tariff.
short, sharp demand spikes
forging and machining equipment produced short, sharp demand spikes rather than a smooth load curve, which made the storage power rating, not its energy capacity, the binding design constraint.
Consequence
the system was sized on power rating first, with energy capacity following once the spike behaviour was captured.
