The challenge

The energy revolution is inevitable and complex. It requires high investments in renewable power generation, for example, through PV systems and the provision of charging infrastructure. At the same time, you are facing the challenge of reducing costs through sustainable solutions such as e-mobility. Large energy consumers, such as a fleet of electric vehicles, have a high demand for electricity, which the limited infrastructure can rarely cover. To avoid bottlenecks in your energy infrastructure and the local network, reduce carbon emissions, and save costs, you need to increase energy efficiency. This can be ensured by the optimized control of existing and new loads.

Solution

Our solution for your sustainable energy management system is self-learning. This energy management system connects power generators and loads and coordinates them with one another. Based on our PLCnext Technology, our solution enables rapid integration into existing systems. New systems such as PV systems, charging stations, and battery storage systems can also be connected, regardless of their manufacturer. Communication with different systems, such as energy measuring devices, charging controllers, and power generators, can be individually adapted. An optional dashboard provides the ability to track trends and view and evaluate the current status of your energy infrastructure. The optimization of controllable and non-controllable loads by utilizing AI enables the efficient distribution of energy depending on grid capacity, solar radiation, and price. The system is constantly working to create a balance between the supplied and generated energy as well as the loads, either with or without set priorities.

Create your system to suit your needs: PLCnext Control is at the heart of our solution. The local controller for energy management can be extended at any time with an AI service, app use, and other cloud services. It also includes the automated creation of reporting functions.

Charging stations for electric vehicles

Intelligent control of all energy flows

The local PLCnext Control connects, manages, and monitors the power generators and loads in real time. Integrate and coordinate PV systems, charging stations, battery storage systems, and electricity purchases from the grid. This stand-alone solution already ensures energy efficiency independently, as the energy flows are coordinated in an optimized way.

AI optimization for cost-efficiency and environmental friendliness

The system has been extended to include artificial intelligence to get the most out of energy management. Over time, our energy and load management system will learn about the entire consumption pattern. Based on different data such as energy prices, solar radiation, and user specifications, the AI will develop a balanced load management system and ensure increasing efficiency.

Charging process at a glance conveniently via app

The optional connection of the mobile MyCapacity app from Cegeka provides additional convenience for your users and enables further optimization at the same time. The desired departure time and charging capacity of the electric vehicle can be set and the status of the charging process can be viewed at any time. Based on this data, the energy management system calculates the ideal charging curves continuously.

Your advantages

  • Reduced energy costs and grid-optimized load distribution through the intelligent control of all energy flows
  • Rapid integration of local, renewable power plants into existing and new infrastructures with the open ecosystem
  • Avoidance of excessively high peak loads and making the best possible use of self-generated solar power with the use of PLCnext Control
  • Maximum flexibility with a manufacturer-independent connection of charging infrastructures
