Reducing electricity costs through load shifting: Intelligent load management explained simply

Why is our power consumption suddenly an issue?

In the past, electricity was just always there, and it cost almost the same around the clock. Today we are experiencing an energy transition: the amount of electricity in the grid fluctuates greatly due to wind and solar energy. If the sun is shining, there is a lot of cheap electricity. In the evening, when everyone comes home and cooks, demand rises – and so often does the price.

Who here cleveat 02:00 at night in the winter months or at 11:00 in the morning in the summer months, when the electricity price is in the basement and the PV in the summer charges your electric vehicle virtually free of charge. The car is just as full in the morning, but the cost is much lower.

What is load management?

Load management is the higher-level control. It ensures that the various devices in the house or in the companyspot market prices).
2. ** Reduce network fees: Avoid expensive power peaks (especially important for commercial operations).
3. ** Optimize self-consumption:
Directly consume the electricity from your own PV system when it is generated (e.g. by specifically charging storage systems or hot water treatment).
