The Importance of Energy Storage Systems for Campsites
As outdoor camping becomes increasingly popular, many campsites are upgrading to modern facilities, offering amenities like lighting, heating, kitchen appliances, and charging stations. However, even campsites connected to the public grid face challenges such as high peak electricity costs and potential power fluctuations, which impact operational costs and power reliability.
Energy storage systems address these challenges by leveraging peak shaving—storing electricity during off-peak hours and discharging it during peak demand periods—to significantly reduce electricity expenses. During surges in power demand or grid failures, energy storage batteries act as a backup power source, ensuring service quality. In addition to improving energy efficiency and lowering costs, these systems support the development of low-carbon, environmentally friendly campsites.
Benefits of Energy Storage Systems for Campsites
Reduced Operating Costs
Energy storage systems take advantage of electricity price differences by charging during off-peak hours (e.g., late at night) and discharging during peak hours. This peak shaving strategy effectively lowers electricity costs, particularly during holidays and peak tourist seasons when power demand spikes.
Estabilidad de potencia mejorada
As a backup power source, energy storage systems quickly respond during unexpected outages or grid fluctuations. They ensure continuous operation of campsite facilities, from nighttime lighting systems to visitors’ charging needs, enhancing the overall camping experience.
Flexible Energy Management
Equipped with an Energy Management System (EMS), energy storage systems intelligently schedule charging and discharging to maximize energy utilization. For instance, if integrated with future solar installations, the system can store excess solar power, further reducing grid dependence.
Promoting Sustainability
Compared to traditional fuel generators, energy storage systems produce no noise or pollution, helping campsites achieve their green development goals. This aligns with the principles of eco-tourism and attracts environmentally conscious visitors.

Industrial Parks Energy Storage System Case Study
What are their needs?
A campsite located in a mountainous area, spanning approximately 10 hectares, accommodates up to 50 families at a time. Although connected to the public grid, the campsite faces significantly higher electricity costs during peak periods (e.g., evenings and holidays) due to surging demand. The operator sought to reduce peak electricity costs and ensure reliable power for lighting, water heaters, and charging stations during outages or power fluctuations.
PKNERGY’s Solution
50kWh Energy Storage System
- Battery Capacity: 50 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery
- Inverter Specifications: 15 kW
- Additional Features: Energy Management System (EMS) for automated charge and discharge scheduling
PKNERGY designed a 50kWh energy storage system tailored to the campsite’s needs. The system stores power during off-peak hours and discharges it during peak periods, effectively lowering electricity expenses. Additionally, the system operates much quieter than traditional fuel generators, ensuring a more comfortable and environmentally friendly camping environment.
What they got?
The energy storage system is estimated to save the campsite approximately 30% on electricity costs annually while improving power reliability. The system is also designed with scalability, allowing for the future integration of solar panels and additional batteries to support the expansion of luxury camping facilities and larger campsite operations.
