The local ArchiteX hardware provides an integrated EMS user interface that offers the customer powerful control and regulation functions. This allows energy flows to be efficiently monitored and optimized.
AI Optimizer
Maximum savings & revenue through intelligent EMS optimization
The EMS platform offers powerful optimization capabilities designed to both maximize revenue and reduce costs. It uses a combination of static and dynamic optimization methods based on real-time data such as load profiles, generation and market prices. Using AI-powered forecasting, the platform continuously adjusts the storage strategy to optimally manage energy consumption and generation. This enables flexible use of the system, e.g. through peak shaving or self-consumption optimization, while also offering the option of using the capacity for energy trading or grid services. This ensures sustainable and efficient energy management.
AI Trading
Flexible connection for battery storage in trading
The EMS platform offers various options for integrating the battery storage system for front-of-the-meter (FTM) trading, whereby a distinction is made between flexibility marketing (day-ahead and intraday markets) and grid services (FCR, aFCR).
Direct connection to trading:
For battery storage systems with a capacity of 1 MW or more, energy management enables a direct connection to a virtual power plant (VPP) for marketing. This solution is particularly suitable for standalone battery storage projects and future battery storage projects in the context of “co-location” (e.g. PV+Battery Hybrid).
Connection via a virtual subpool:
For smaller storage facilities or customers for whom a direct connection does not make sense, the platform offers the option of participating in trading via a virtual subpool. Here, several battery storage systems are bundled and used for flexibility marketing, which is an efficient solution especially for dynamic optimization.
