Industry Energy Arbitrage
Industry Energy Arbitrage is a proven strategy to reduce energy costs by leveraging time-of-use electricity pricing. A BESS stores energy during low-tariff periods and discharges it during high-tariff hours, enabling industries to shift load demand, cut costs, and reduce their carbon footprint.
What Makes Industry Energy Arbitrage Different?
Industry Energy Arbitrage is key to reducing costs for industries with long, high-volume energy consumption. It captures value from electricity price tariffs by buying and storing energy when prices are low, and discharging the BESS instead of drawing from the grid during peak pricing. Unlike conventional energy-saving methods that simply cut usage, arbitrage strategies enable uninterrupted production while lowering energy bills—and this is where we deliver exceptional value.

Cater to the Energy Consumption During High-Tariff Hours
The system is designed to replace costly energy consumed during peak-tariff periods with energy stored at low-tariff prices. By leveraging BESS, industries can maintain full operational output while minimizing exposure to high energy costs.
Cater to the Power Limit of the Existing Transformer
BESS charging is configured to operate within the capacity limits of the existing transformer and electrical infrastructure. This ensures safe integration without overloading the system or risking downtime.
Optimal and Balanced BESS Capacity for Maximum Cost-Saving Potential
We size the BESS to fully charge and discharge within the defined tariff windows, ensuring the asset is used to its full potential. This approach maximizes cost savings while avoiding unnecessary oversizing and investment waste.
Smart Arbitrage Strategy with EMS
Our EMS deploys a dynamic control strategy aligned with tariff schedules and time-of-use rates. Through load profile analysis, it fine-tunes charge/discharge cycles to achieve optimal savings and peak demand management.

Case Presentation
400kW/932kWh Spanish Factory Energy Storage Project
This project is based on the Industry Energy Arbitrage application and is implemented in a factory in Spain. It aims to optimize energy consumption and significantly reduce costs by intelligently leveraging energy price fluctuations and renewable energy sources. The factory is equipped with two transformers, each connected to two GALAXY 233L-AIO-2H units, which are closely integrated with the on-site photovoltaic (PV) system and energy storage system. The system continuously monitors real-time energy market signals and PV generation conditions, storing surplus solar energy (e.g., during low price periods or PV generation peaks), and intelligently discharging or shifting loads when PV output is insufficient or energy prices peak, thereby avoiding expensive grid purchases.
Unlike traditional energy-saving methods, this project actively responds to the dynamic energy market by combining real-time forecasting with precise load control to implement a “buy low, store, and peak-shift” strategy.
System Components:
Two transformers ensure stable power distribution;
GALAXY 233L-AIO-2H units serve as core energy management devices supporting efficient storage and discharge;
The on-site PV system provides renewable energy input.
Operating Principle:
When PV generation exceeds demand, the system stores surplus energy. When PV output is insufficient or market prices rise, stored energy is prioritized for use, or factory loads are adjusted to achieve self-consumption and price arbitrage.
Key Benefits:
Through deep energy market insights and operational agility, this project significantly reduces the factory’s electricity costs, improves energy utilization efficiency, decreases reliance on the grid, and supports sustainability goals.
This project demonstrates the practical potential of Industry Energy Arbitrage in industrial scenarios, optimizing energy use while delivering long-term economic and environmental value to the factory.
