Suitable software solutions for your energy project

Intelligent software for efficient energy management

The ArchiteX software forms the intelligent control and optimization module of the energy management system. It enables the holistic control and monitoring of energy projects – from simple PV integration to complex multi-use case applications.

ArchiteX adapts flexibly to different project phases and requirements. Powerful functions, clear prioritization logic and a modular architecture ensure that users retain full control over generation, storage, consumers and charging infrastructure at all times.

Thanks to the continuous further development of the software, customers benefit from new functions, extended use cases and a future-proof EMS platform.

ArchiteX Use Cases

ArchiteX is designed for different project constellations. From simple PV applications to complex multi-use case energy systems. The software scales with the project and enables multiple use cases to be used in parallel.

LOAD + PHOTOVOLTAICS

For businesses without storage

ArchiteX takes over the feed-in and load management of PV systems at the grid connection point. Grid specifications are reliably adhered to and PV generation is optimally integrated into consumption.

Typical functions

  • PV feed-in management at the grid connection point
  • Reactive power control (P/Q)
  • Network operator interface
  • Zero feed

LOAD + BATTERY STORAGE

For businesses with storage

In combination with battery storage systems, ArchiteX enables intelligent load and storage management. Several use cases can be operated and prioritized in parallel.

Typical functions

Local use case

  • Peak shaving at the grid connection point
  • Self-consumption optimization
  • Multi-use operation with SOC sharing (fixed or dynamic)

Local battery optimization – BTM (optional)

  • Photovoltaic surplus charging with feed-in limitation at the grid connection point with weather forecast
  • Photovoltaic surplus loading with negative electricity prices (day-ahead market prices)
  • Optimization of procurement costs
  • Multi-use with SOC sharing according to timetable
  • Multi-use with dynamic SOC sharing according to forecasts

Battery optimization trading – FTM (coming soon)

  • Energy trading Day-Ahead & Intraday Auction
  • Grid Srevices (FCR, aFCR)

LOAD + E-MOBILITY

For vehicle fleet and loading lift applications

ArchiteX controls charging infrastructure dynamically depending on the grid connection, loads and priorities. This allows charging points to be operated efficiently without overloading the grid connection.

Typical functions

  • Dynamic load management at the grid connection point
  • Prioritization of charging points and charging groups

Additional functions (optional via CSMS Controller)

  • Static and dynamic load management
  • Charging according to timetable (VDE 463)
  • Charging strategies (balanced charging, prioritized charging, rotating charging)
  • Depot Management System (VDV 463)
  • Vehicle preconditioning (VDV 261)
  • Vehicle authorization
  • Role management/sub-clients
  • Billing interface (OCPP/OCPI)
  • Data interface (Rest API)

MULTI-USE ENERGY SYSTEMS

For more complex applications

For complex energy systems in trade, industry and charging hubs, ArchiteX enables the parallel operation of several use cases within one system.

Typical functions

  • Complete multi-use energy management
  • Combined optimization of PV, storage, charging points and loads
  • Flexible use case coexistence, e.g. self-consumption optimization, peak shaving, e-mobility and other marketing approaches

ArchiteX – Optimization for battery storage

ArchiteX optimizes the operation of battery storage systems at system level. The local ArchiteX hardware provides powerful control and regulation functions with which energy flows can be monitored, evaluated and optimized in real time.

Intelligent storage optimization

The ArchiteX software combines rule-based and data-based optimization strategies to both reduce costs and generate additional revenue. It is based on real-time data such as load profiles, generation and market prices.

On this basis, ArchiteX continuously adapts the charging and discharging strategy and enables, among other things:

  • Peak shaving at the grid connection point
  • Self-consumption optimization
  • Flexible multi-use utilization of battery storage systems
  • Use of storage capacity for other energy industry applications

In this way, the battery storage system is operated economically, efficiently and in a way that protects the system.

ArchiteX – Multi Use – Battery storage

Intelligent SOC sharing for maximum flexibility

ArchiteX enables the parallel operation of several use cases with one battery storage system. It is based on a three-stage SOC sharing concept that distributes the available state of charge to different use cases in a targeted manner.

The SOC levels can be defined as fixed or dynamic and adapt to the respective requirements during operation. This means that the energy required for prioritized use cases remains available at all times, while the storage system is used economically at the same time.

  • Level 3 – Economic use:The remaining SOC range is used flexibly for self-consumption optimization, trading or other energy industry applications.
  • Level 2 – Peak shaving: A separate SOC range is available for reducing load peaks at the grid connection point and ensures stable power values.
  • Level 1 – Security of supply: A defined SOC range is kept in reserve for backup functions or uninterruptible power supply.

The IoT platform and portal solution

For monitoring, operation and transparency

Connex is the central IoT and portal solution within the ArchiteX system architecture. The platform enables secure access to local EMS controllers and displays all relevant system data clearly in a central user interface.

Modern dashboards give operators, integrators and service partners a clear view of energy flows, system statuses and key operating figures – across all locations and in real time. Connex thus supports monitoring, analysis, remote access and the efficient operation of complex energy systems.
