Seasonal changes in visitor activity can create significant differences in energy demand across European cultural and tourism parks. Peak seasons may bring concentrated electricity consumption, while off-peak periods can leave installed energy infrastructure underutilized. This imbalance creates a need for energy systems that can adapt to changing loads throughout the year rather than relying solely on fixed distribution capacity.
Addressing Energy Consumption Fluctuations Between Peak and Off-Peak Seasons in Resort Parks Through Smart Energy Storage Regulation
Cultural and tourism settings in Europe, such as vacation parks and campgrounds, exhibit distinct seasonal patterns in energy consumption. During peak seasons, a concentration of visitors leads to rapid increases in loads from air conditioning, lighting, and food service, which can easily place additional strain on the power distribution system. During off-peak seasons, electricity demand decreases, but fixed energy facilities continue to operate, resulting in inefficient energy utilization.
Traditional power distribution systems are typically designed with fixed capacities, making it difficult to flexibly adapt to year-round load fluctuations. When peak-season loads rise rapidly, capacity expansion projects involve lengthy implementation cycles and high costs; conversely, during off-peak periods, energy resources remain underutilized.
Addressing the year-round load fluctuations typical of cultural and tourism parks, YUNT offers energy storage solutions integrating photovoltaic generation and energy storage. By leveraging energy storage regulation capabilities and intelligent energy management strategies, these solutions optimize energy operations across different seasons and operating conditions, helping clients improve power supply reliability and energy efficiency.
Scenario Requirements: Resolving Seasonal Energy Consumption Discrepancies in Cultural and Tourism Parks
Energy systems in resort parks typically face the following challenges:
- Increased visitor numbers during peak season, leading to rapid growth in electricity demand;
- Concentrated operation of high-power equipment, leading to strain on the power supply;
- Declining load and reduced energy utilization during the off-season;
- Complex outdoor environments that demand high equipment reliability.
- Therefore, the project must have:
- Dynamic load regulation capabilities;
- The ability to optimize peak-valley electricity pricing;
- Backup power supply capability during grid abnormalities;
- Rapid deployment and convenient operation and maintenance capabilities.
System Solution: Building a Smart Photovoltaic-Storage System Suitable for Year-Round Operation
Based on the operational characteristics of the cultural and tourism park, YUNT provides energy storage system design, equipment integration, and operational strategy optimization services.
The project employs a 125 kW/258 kWh integrated energy storage system solution, incorporating:
- grid-forming PCS;
- STS smart transfer switch;
- Liquid-cooled thermal management system;
- an EMS energy management platform.
Through system-level integration, the project achieves intelligent coordination among the energy storage equipment, the power grid, and the park’s loads.
Based on EMS intelligent dispatch strategies, the system automatically adjusts according to seasonal operational requirements:
Peak Season Operation Mode:
- Energy storage assists in meeting peak power demand;
- Smooths out load fluctuations;
- Reduces the risk of sudden power outages;
- Enhances the ability to ensure a positive visitor experience.
- Off-Peak Season Operation Mode:
- Charge the energy storage system using low-cost electricity;
- Discharge stored energy during peak hours;
- Optimize the park’s energy costs.
Additionally, the system supports rapid switching to backup power mode in the event of grid abnormalities, ensuring energy supply for the park’s critical loads.
The equipment features a modular, integrated design that meets European requirements for outdoor applications and reduces on-site installation complexity.
Project Value: Enhancing the Energy Management Capabilities of Cultural and Tourism Parks
Through the integration of photovoltaic and storage systems and intelligent dispatch, the project helps the resort upgrade its energy system from a fixed power supply model to a flexible regulation model.
The solution not only enhances power supply reliability during peak seasons but also improves energy utilization efficiency during off-peak periods, achieving year-round optimization of energy operations.
This project provides a flexible and efficient energy storage application model for seasonal cultural and tourism scenarios in Europe, demonstrating YUNT’s capabilities in system integration and energy strategy optimization for complex overseas scenarios.
