AI & Smart Control for Optimized Energy Projects

The electricity market is changing rapidly – with power charges, removed subsidies such as the 60-öre and constantly fluctuating electricity prices. It is no longer enough to install solar panels and batteries. To increase both revenue and savings, intelligent energy management is required.

As a wholesaler and advisor, we at Energy Group have our ear to the rails when it comes to the latest developments in EMS, smart control and AI – for both smaller and larger systems. We continuously test and evaluate the market’s alternatives, so that you as an installer avoid making the wrong investments.

Smart control means that a system automatically optimises how electricity is produced, stored and used – based on current conditions. This can involve cutting power peaks, saving your own solar electricity for the evening, charging the battery when the electricity price is low or delivering support services to the electricity grid.

• Peak Shaving
  Cut expensive power peaks and avoid penalties from the grid owner.
• Shifting your own solar power
  Store the surplus from the sun and use the electricity when it is really needed.
• Electricity price arbitrage
  Buy electricity when it is cheap, sell or use it when it is expensive.
• Support servicesEarn money by helping Svenska Kraftnät balance the electricity grid.

The most powerful is when the EMS system supports Multi Market Trading – i.e. the ability to automatically switch between different earning and saving strategies every 15 minutes, depending on what is most profitable at the time. This is where AI really comes into its own.

There are currently a large number of EMS solutions on the Swedish market. Some are integrated into the inverter, others require external modules. Some are free, others have monthly costs. Some have advanced AI – others lack it completely.

Which system is best suited depends on several factors:

• Battery capacity (kWh)
• If solar cells are connected
• Whether the facility is to participate in the ancillary services market
• Which bidding area the system is located in
• Make of inverter
• Et cetera

We have tested most things on the market – and we know what works in practice. Whether you work with residential clients or commercial projects, we help you choose the right solution.

Save time. Avoid wrong bets. Get happier customers.
