The system was specifically designed to address local grid constraints at the Distribution Transformer (DT) level:

1. Peak Load Shaving: In the summer months, the BESS discharges to shave peak loads whenever DT loading exceeds 70%, effectively preventing transformer overloads.
2. Energy Arbitrage: During winter months, the system utilizes energy cost arbitrage to maximize economic value for the utility.
3. Power Quality Enhancement: The project successfully demonstrated Power Factor Improvement and Phase Balancing by providing unbalanced reactive power from the Power Conversion System (PCS).
4. Infrastructure Deferral: By managing local peak stress, the BESS allows the utility to defer expensive capital expenditure on transformer and cable upgrades in congested urban areas.
