Do hospitals need peak shaving for electricity

Needed.

1, balancing the load on the grid: hospitals, as large power users, especially during the peak period of medical consultations, there will be a large demand for electricity. The simultaneous start-up or use of all medical equipment, lighting and other electrical equipment can lead to excessive grid loads, even beyond the capacity of the power supply. Peak shaving can avoid overloading the grid and keep the grid load running smoothly by adjusting the distribution of electricity load.

2. Saving energy costs: Electric utilities tend to devote more resources to the supply of peak loads, including generation and transmission systems. By shaving peaks and filling valleys, hospitals can reduce their electrical loads during peak periods and utilize the supply of electricity during trough periods, thereby reducing the demand on the power company and lowering energy costs.
