6.6 Smart battery control

The PLENTICORE plus has a new kind of smart gen-
eration and consumption forecast and coupled with
connected energy storage (a battery), this provides the
consumers in the home with generated power in an
optimum manner.
Using this form of control allows the majority of the pho-
tovoltaic energy produced to be used by the consumer
and therefore helps to cut electricity costs.
The smart generation and consumption forecast rec-
ognises and takes account of the times when the
household uses the most energy. The system uses this
information to make forecasts about how home con-
sumption will change in the future and controls charging/
discharging of the battery accordingly. This ensures that
the greatest amount possible of self-produced energy is
used in the house and as little energy as possible is fed
into the public grid unused.
By using the smart generation and consumption fore-
cast, usage of the generated energy is optimised (in
addition to the simple process of storing power) and all
power limitations stipulated by law are satisfied at the
same time (e.g. 50% KFW or 70% Renewable Energies
Act ruling).
