Utilizing Energy Toolbase's ETB Controller energy management system and BYD's leading battery technology, this deployment optimizes energy consumption and minimizes demand costs for the facility.

Energy Toolbase, BYD, and GenPro Energy Solutions have successfully installed three energy storage systems (ESS) at a manufacturing facility in Gering, Nebraska—Energy Toolbase's first energy storage project deployment in the state. Utilizing Energy Toolbase's ETB Controller energy management system and BYD's leading battery technology, this deployment optimizes energy consumption and minimizes demand costs for the facility.

GenPro Energy Solutions, an energy solutions provider based in Piedmont, South Dakota, has used Energy Toolbase's modeling software, ETB Developer, for over seven years to conduct feasibility studies for clients including State government entities, tribes, and commercial facilities. For this project, GenPro used ETB Developer to model the BYD energy storage system and ETB Controller with the facility's interval data to analyze how the system would operate in the field. The final solar + storage design consisted of an 858 kW PV system that was complemented by three BYD CHESS batteries, integrated with ETB Controller, providing a total energy storage capacity of 360 kW/774 kWh.

Leveraging Energy Toolbase's partnership with BYD, GenPro procured three 120 kW/258 kWh 2-hour CHESS energy storage units directly through Energy Toolbase, ensuring a smooth integration process. This collaboration highlights the practicality of stacking CHESS 120kW/258kWh units, allowing a modular approach for smaller commercial and industrial (C&I) projects, optimizing the solution to meet the facility's specific needs.

ETB Controller with Acumen AI™ will enable a demand charge management application and shave demand peaks by dispatching energy once the metered demand reaches a precisely calculated threshold. This project highlights the rebranding of ETB's energy management system, formerly 'Acumen EMS,' to ETB Controller, reflecting its advanced controls capabilities. The end customer benefits from full visibility into the ESS's data and performance through the ETB Monitor platform.

"Energy Toolbase is excited to bring more energy storage to Nebraska by partnering with GenPro," said Kevin Mulvey, Vice President of Operations at Energy Toolbase. "The Midwest storage market is expanding rapidly, and Energy Toolbase would like to continue to deploy numerous projects that will drive further growth."
