The growing demand for electricity due to e-mobility, heat pumps and modern household appliances is leading to higher electricity costs. At the same time, photovoltaic systems are making it possible to generate more and more electricity ourselves. However, without intelligent control, much potential remains untapped.
Technical details & functions
The technology behind
Theben EnergyManager:
Smart, efficient & future-proof.
Efficient energy management starts with the right technology. A flexible, compatible and secure solution that intelligently optimizes energy flows, regulates peak loads and enables reliable integration into existing systems. HEMS combines generation, storage and consumption into a controllable overall system – economical, scalable and future-proof.
What is the Theben EnergyManager and how does it work?
Intelligent control for maximum energy efficiency
Theben HEMS (Home Energy Management System) is a future-proof solution for decentralized energy management.
The system was specially developed to monitor, automatically control and economically optimize energy flows – for both private households and commercial applications.
HEMS analyses the energy consumption in the building in real time, compares it with the current power generation and dynamically distributes loads – taking into account electricity prices, grid load and individual user preferences.
However, many of these systems are not networked – which leads to:
- Inefficient feed-in: solar power is fed into the grid even though it could be used locally
- Uncoordinated charging: Charging e-cars at expensive times
- Lost potential: Heat pumps operate without regard to grid load
The Theben EnergyManager solves precisely these problems:
- Monitoring and control of all energy components – from PV and storage to the wallbox
- Intelligent load shifting: electricity is consumed when it is available and cheap
- Use of dynamic electricity tariffs: HEMS recognizes price signals and automatically adjusts consumption
- Feed-in management: Grid-friendly behavior included – §9 EEG and §14a EnWG-compliant
- Transparency: users can see their energy flows at any time via a web dashboard
Why Theben EnergyManager?
Advantages & functions
Theben EnergyManager also solves this problem by optimizing energy flows in real time:
- Self-consumption optimization: Electricity from the PV system is first used by the customer before it is fed into the grid.
- Cost reduction: Dynamic electricity tariffs are analyzed in order to purchase electricity exactly when it is cheapest.
- Energy independence: Battery storage and PV system are optimally controlled to minimize grid consumption.
- Full transparency: Users can see how energy is being consumed and fed in at any time via the app or the web dashboard.
