Battery storage for agriculture

The solution lies in battery storage. With an advanced Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) from Frax, you can store energy at times of surplus and use it when demand peaks. More than just a technical addition, battery storage is a strategic step toward efficient and cost-effective energy management in the farmyard.

How does battery storage work on a farm?

A battery storage system, also called a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), stores electricity that your company generates itself, such as with solar panels or a wind turbine. Instead of delivering excess energy directly back to the grid, it is temporarily stored in a battery. At times when your energy consumption exceeds production, the battery automatically supplies power back to the company.

Frax's system works fully automatically and is designed to make your energy management easier. The smart Frax Energy Management System (EMS) continuously monitors how much energy is being generated, stored and consumed. Based on your settings and current consumption, the EMS determines the optimal times to charge or discharge.

In practice, this means that with a Frax battery solution you can respond to peak loads, for example when starting milking machines, cooling or ventilation systems, without incurring high energy costs. In addition, you can use energy when power prices are lowest, or operate completely off-grid when grid capacity is limited.

The benefits of battery storage for farmers and agricultural businesses

Battery storage offers numerous advantages for agricultural entrepreneurs who want to manage their energy smartly and become more independent from the power grid. With a reliable system from Frax, you get more return on your sustainable investment and ensure a more stable and future-proof operation.

• Lower energy costs: By storing energy when the sun shines and using it during peak times, you save on high grid costs and use more of your own generated power.
• Grid independence: A Frax BESS gives you more control over your energy supply, making you less dependent on grid congestion or outages.
• Optimal utilization of renewable energy: Instead of delivering back at low rates, use what you generate yourself, which is more efficient and more sustainable.
• Peak reduction (peakshaving): Reduce your maximum power draw by using temporarily stored energy during times of high consumption, which reduces connection and transmission costs.
• Better business continuity: Combined with emergency power, your business remains operational even in the event of a power outage.
• Future-proof business: With battery storage, you meet future sustainability goals, contribute to emission reduction and are prepared for changing laws and regulations surrounding energy use.

Whether you are an arable, livestock or greenhouse farmer, large-scale battery storage makes the difference between reactive and proactive energy management. With Frax, you have a robust, secure and easy-to-use solution that pays for itself quickly and contributes directly to a more sustainable farm.
