Workshops with cutting and welding machines: Shave peaks with battery and EMS
Cutting and welding machines create short but large load peaks. Peaks heat cables, trip breakers and can force a transformer upgrade.
Typical daily load profile
Suggested configuration
Package B: Panels on the workshop roof, hybrid inverter, a small battery that discharges at the peak, EMS control based on real metering.
Keep in mind
Peak shaving depends on the real load profile. TTK meters first, then fixes the battery size.
Three benefits
Lower peaks
The battery discharges when cutting and welding machines run together.
Daytime solar
A daytime workshop uses most of the power the panels produce.
Before and after data
The EMS meters the load profile before and after installation for comparison.
Questions
Do we need a transformer upgrade?
TTK meters the real peaks to see whether peak shaving can avoid an upgrade, then reports to you.
Does metal dust soil the panels?
Yes. The X10 Guardian has an anti-dust frame per the datasheet; regular cleaning is still needed and is in the maintenance plan.
Can an open-air shipyard install solar?
On the roofs of workshops, warehouses or offices. TTK surveys wind exposure and structure.
