Controllable Consumption Devices – New Rules for Heat Pumps and Wallboxes

What controllable loads are

Controllable loads are high-power electrical devices that can be controlled by the grid operator as needed.

Typical examples include:

• Heat pumps
• Wallboxes
• Electricity storage systems

These devices play an important role in the stability of modern power grids.

Why these devices are important

With the expansion of renewable energies, the electricity supply fluctuates more.

Controllable loads can adjust their electricity consumption and thus help avoid peak loads in the power grid.

What advantages households have

Households often benefit from:

• reduced grid fees
• special electricity tariffs
• better utilization options for renewable energy

Energy management as an interface

Energy management systems can intelligently coordinate these devices.

They connect grid requirements with household energy demand and ensure optimal use of available energy.
