Project Overview
Project Background
An LVK 2088kWh modular C&I BESS with 500kW STS at a multi-tenant Kenyan industrial park, achieving 35% virtual transformer capacity expansion with zero production downtime.
Customer Needs
As the park attracted more investment, the total power load frequently exceeded the rated safe capacity of the existing distribution transformers during peak daytime production hours. This led to frequent circuit breaker trips in parts of the industrial zone, causing unexpected power outages for tenant production lines and exposing them to the risk of claims for delayed orders.
Application Focus
Industrial Park
Solution Design
Integrated ESS Design For Site Operations
An LVK 2088kWh modular commercial and industrial energy storage system was deployed, featuring an integrated 500kW Static Transfer Switch (STS). By discharging the battery to the grid, the system balances peak loads, eliminating the need to apply for time-consuming and costly physical transformer upgrades.
