When optimizing, both the electricity market price and the network service price are taken into account. It is possible to set the applicable network service package, e.g. Network1, Network2, Network4, Network5 …
For each controllable consumer, different autonomous consumption schedules can be created, including:
-
Simple schedule* with 1 operating zone, e.g. the 8 cheapest hours per day. Suitable for heating large thermal mass floor heating systems or for frequently connected EV charging.
-
Restricted schedule* with 1 operating zone, e.g. the 4 cheapest hours within the desired time window 00:00 – 08:59.
-
Extended schedule with 1 operating zone, e.g. the 4 cheapest hours within the desired overnight period 21:00 – 07:59. Suitable for charging an EV during the night.
-
Flexible schedule with 2 operating zones per day, e.g. 2 cheapest hours between 02:00 – 07:49 and 2 cheapest hours between 19:00 – 22:59. Suitable, for example, for heating a boiler before morning and evening shower usage.
-
Weekend (Sat–Sun) independent schedule, which replaces the main schedule and can be of any of the above-mentioned types but with different parameters.
* - Schedules marked with an asterisk* also support:
- Solar energy override – if the system has a solar plant and production exceeds 30% or 60% of nominal capacity, the consumer is switched on regardless of the planned schedule (self-consumed energy is always the cheapest).
- Weekend comfort mode, which adds a chosen percentage of extra consumption hours on weekends. For example, with 20%, a 5-hour schedule becomes a 6-hour schedule. If a dedicated weekend schedule is set for a consumer, that takes priority over comfort mode.
For an energy storage system, schedules do not need to be set – the system creates them automatically based on past consumption patterns, solar forecasts, and the following user-defined parameters:
-
Whether to allow selling back to the grid from the battery
-
Battery capacity
-
Battery max charging current
-
Battery max discharging current
For each device, the user interface shows:
- Current state and Power
-
Planned consumption schedules, both current and historical
-
Energy consumed per measurement period (today and historical) – per day, month, and year, with granularity of 1h, 1 day, and 1 month
-
Money spent and saved, both today and historically – per day, month, and year, with granularity of 1h, 1 day, and 1 month
