Home Energy Management System – Benefits and Functions Explained
What is an energy management system?
An energy management system monitors and controls a home's energy consumption.
The system collects data on:
• Electricity production
• Electricity consumption
• Energy prices
This data is used to automatically optimize energy consumption.
Why energy management makes sense for households
An energy management system offers several advantages.
These include:
• Lower electricity costs
• Better utilization of solar power
• Efficient operation of heat pumps
• Optimized charging of electric cars
Households with photovoltaics particularly benefit.
Energy management and photovoltaics
Households with photovoltaics often produce surplus electricity.
An energy management system detects these surpluses and uses them for other devices in the household.
For example, surplus solar power can be used for:
• Charging a battery storage system
• Charging an electric car
• Operating a heat pump
