Smart control system
What is it?
Smart control system uses mathematical algorithms, some call them artificial intelligence, that synchronize the client’s consumption with the PV plant and battery. It offers efficient use of the batteries throughout the year. It charges the batteries from the grid during cheap nighttime hours and uses them when the price of electricity is higher. Given the client’s consumption predictions, the charge and discharge cycle can take place up to twice a day, significantly reducing the payback period of the battery storage investment.
To determine the optimal settings, smart system takes into account:
Free days
Seasons
Specific ways of energy use by the client
PV output depending on capacity, location, time of year and weather
How it works
- The algorithmic software first observes the behaviour of the client and its FVE.
- Based on the information it has obtained, it makes a prediction of the consumption and the amount of energy produced by the PV.
- It synchronizes the client’s consumption with the PV plant and the battery storage. The battery is charged and discharged according to the spot market prices.
- The client saves on average 8-25% of the usual cost depending on the size of the battery.
Proposal for a solution
- With our savings calculator, we’ll work out how much money you can save with smart driving.
- We will suggest the optimal PV size and battery capacity.
- The savings will start to show after just 14 days of operation.
Our algorithmic software learns to predict your consumption as accurately as possible for 48 hours. Days off, seasons and the specific behaviour of your consumption during the day (work or production cycle) are taken into account.
Similarly, our software will learn to predict the production volume of your PV plant depending on its output, location, time of year, weather forecast and available battery capacity.
In this way, we actively manage your photovoltaic power plant with battery and possibly other important electrical appliances (boiler, heat pump, etc.) so that you use as little electricity as possible in times of expensive spot and as much as possible in times of cheap spot.
Because hourly prices are known in the daily market, our software calculates the optimal timing of when to put the PV electricity into consumption, when to charge or discharge the battery, and when to store the electricity in the battery for a specific hour when SPOT is expensive.
If it’s affordable, we’ll charge your battery at night from the grid so it’s ready for the morning rush hour, when prices are often high.
