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

A smart energy management system (EMS) ensures that energy generation, 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, in which measurement and control are combined into 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: Gain insight into imports, exports, and consumption using sensors such as Harvi or CT clamps.
• Control: Smart control of loads based on available energy.
• Storage: temporary storage of energy for later use.

How the myenergi EMS Works in Practice

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

• zappi adjusts an electric car's charging capacity based on excess solar power.
• eddi uses excess solar energy for hot water or heating.
• Libbi stores energy when it isn't needed right away.
• Harvi measures energy consumption wirelessly, without the need for additional wiring.

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

One app, a complete overview

Through the myenergi app, users gain real-time insight into energy production, consumption, storage, and redirection. Priorities can be easily set without requiring any technical knowledge.

Because the system continues to operate locally, the energy management system remains active even during a temporary internet outage.

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

Key Benefits of an EMS

• Increased self-consumption of solar energy
• Lower energy costs
• Reduced peak load on the power grid
• Greater comfort thanks to automatic control
