How does a smart energy management system (EMS) work at home?

A smart energy management system (EMS) ensures that generated energy, consumption, and storage are optimally coordinated. Instead of manual switching, the system automatically controls where and when energy is used.

The myenergi ecosystem is an example of such an integrated EMS, combining measurement and control in a single user-friendly system.

The building blocks of a smart EMS

An effective energy management system consists of several components that work together:

• Measurement: insight into imports, exports, and consumption via sensors such as Harvi or CT clamps.
• Control: smart control of consumers based on available energy.
• Storage: temporary storage of energy for later use.

How myenergi EMS works in practice

The myenergi EMS combines various products that communicate with each other continuously:

• Zappi adjusts the charging capacity of an electric car based on surplus solar energy.
• eddi uses surplus solar energy for hot water or heating.
• Libbi stores energy when it is not immediately needed.
• harvi measures energy consumption wirelessly without additional cabling.

The system automatically determines which application is given priority, ensuring that energy is used as efficiently as possible.

One app, complete overview

The myenergi app gives users real-time insight into energy production, consumption, storage, and diversion. Priorities can be easily set without the need for technical knowledge.

Because the system continues to function locally, energy management remains active, even in the event of a temporary internet outage.

"Everything works together automatically. We don't have to think about anything anymore, but we can see exactly what's happening."

Key benefits of EMS

• Higher self-consumption of solar energy
• Lower energy costs
• Less peak load on the electricity grid
• Greater comfort thanks to automatic control
