Hoe je samen met ons vooruit gaat
Due to the increasing number of households and companies generating their own sustainable energy, the balance between energy demand and energy production is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. Because many of these producers also want to supply the energy back to the electricity grid, a capacity problem is gradually arising on the grid. Increasing capacity is in many cases very expensive and takes too much time to keep up with developments in the short term. A solution to the problem could consist of storage systems that can temporarily store the energy and then supply it back to the grid, but also to maximize local use of the self-generated energy.
Actemium would like to be part of this solution by developing a generic Energy Management framework (EM). This requires research into the possibilities. After this research, Actemium would like to have a prototype with which the operation of the concept can be demonstrated. In addition, Actemium would like to test the prototype at the office building in Veghel where both energy generation (PV) and energy consumption (charging stations – company building) are present.
The main goal is to develop a dashboard and possible controls for the Energy Management framework. A PLC can be used for control, which can control one or more assets, can read data from various sensors or actuators (such as power meters, electric charging stations or power converters) and has communication with the higher-level (user) interface of the EM framework.
