Power-oriented definition
Power-oriented in this context means that the battery’s power capacity is sized to match the curtailable power spikes of the building’s load. Some buildings’ load shapes will be too flat to be feasible for such an application. The key is that the above-baseload spikes are drawing power for a total of less than a few hours per day (the fewer the better). The target building’s load spike will vary as a percentage of total load, but typical examples have been between 5% and 20% of total load.
