1. Shaving power = 1000 − 500 = 500 kW
2. BESS energy = 500 kW × 4 h = 2000 kWh
3. PCS = 500 kW · diesel backup = 625 kVA (500 kW)
4. Daily shaved energy = 500 × 4 = 2000 kWh/day
5. Spread = diesel $0.28 − grid $0.15 = $0.130/kWh → daily saving $260
6. Payback = BESS CAPEX $222,981 ÷ annual saving $94,900 = 2.3 years
📋 Design notes
Economics basis (illustrative): Savings assume the BESS charges at the grid price and discharges to displace diesel generation (or a higher peak tariff) at the 0.130 $/kWh spread. Actual payback depends on demand-charge structure, TOU tariffs and cycle life — verify with the local tariff.
Three-option comparison: Pure grid $109,500/yr vs pure diesel $204,400/yr vs diesel+storage ≈$138,488/yr for the shaved energy — storage wins where the spread is large and daily cycling is regular (illustrative, excludes demand-charge savings).
Pricing basis: BESS and PCS priced per kWh/kW from the catalogue; diesel genset and ATS from their price references. STS (sensitive loads, ≤4 ms) and EMS are optional and quoted per project (POA).
Switching chain: The ATS handles grid↔genset transfer; an optional static transfer switch (STS) provides ≤4 ms break-free transfer for sensitive loads; DC/DC converters are only needed for a DC-coupled PV-storage topology (not this AC peak-shaving case).
Design review: This is a preliminary sizing. Verify the load profile, demand-charge rules, BESS cycle life at the target DoD, and local interconnection/fire-safety codes.
