Solutions for EMS Providers

The EMS is the central logic for the management of energy flows inside the building. It bundles all energy-relevant controllable devices and adjusts their energy flows in the most efficient way. The EMS knows about the physical capacity restrictions of the building as well as temporary grid limitations or market driven energy tariffs and manages consumption and production accordingly. End-users do have the choice to set their preferences in terms of costs and comfort, which can be considered in the optimisation of energy flows by the EMS.

Capacity Management on Building Level

The EMS frequently considers the maximum available power that the house connection allows and manages connected devices accordingly. In case of an impending grid congestion, the DSO sends a signal to reduce the actual power consumption or feed-in of electricity at the building’s grid connection point. A control unit inside the house receives this signal and passes it on to the local Energy Management System (EMS) via EEBUS.

The EMS acts upon the signal and adjusts, e.g. reduces, the energy flow inside the house and among connected devices accordingly. By taking into account the overall demand of the building i.e. of the other consumers in the household, an overload of the house connection is avoided and grid signals fulfilled.

Time of Use Tariffs

Time of use tariffs can origin either from the DSO based on dynamic transmission fees or from the energy supplier based on energy market prices. Either way, tariff information, on the form of energy price tables, are sent from the respective operator via the smart meter gateway infrastructure to the EMS inside the house.

Depending on the end user preferences and demands, the EMS manages the load of connected devices accordingly. This allows for a cost-optimised power purchase or revenue-optimised feed-in for own power generation.

Increase of Self Consumption

The local EMS controls and influences the electricity flows inside the building under consideration of actual own power generation and in alignment with current electricity prices. In the presence of a solar power system, free solar power is preferentially used for large consumers inside the building, e.g. to charge the EV or start the heat pump.

The EMS also considers the forecast hours of sunshine and the time of departure and the current energy demand of the EV. The end user benefits from reduced energy costs while improving his ecological footprint.

Monitoring and Comfort

EEBUS seamlessly connects all energy-relevant devices inside the house and provides a standardised interface to the integration in the end user ‘s smart home. By visualising the information about the customers energy flows retrieved from the EEBUS communication, manufacturers can contribute to the overall transparency for the end-user and other applications.

Added value for the overall comfort can be achieved by connecting these energy management relevant information to smart home applications and e.g. allow AI algorithms to develop forecasts or energy efficiency suggestions for the end-user.

How electromobility can be optimally integrated into the power grid is being investigated by the research project "unIT-e² - Reallabor für verNETZte E-Mobilität" in four field tests across Germany. To approach the complex topic from all sides at the same time, 29 partners from the automotive and energy industries, IT and charging infrastructure as well as science are participating in the joint project. The focus is on the user-friendly, large-scale implementation of bidirectional charging concepts. The three-year project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). Holistic solutions are being developed in the project for the further ramp-up of electromobility.

Test locations/sites:
Urban areas of Munich and Düsseldorf as well as rural based field tests in Eastern Bavaria, Lower Saxony and Northern Hesse.

Working groups:
E-Mobility, HVAC, Inverter, Grid

Our Partners:

MANY COMPANIES ALREADY SPEAK EEBUS.
