Intelligently manage energy and costs
Load management plays a crucial role in efficiently monitoring energy consumption in your company. Targeted load management reduces energy costs, saves resources and guarantees the stability of the mains supply. Our intelligent load management solutions efficiently monitor energy consumption whilst optimizing costs.
Our video shows how efficient load management makes your company more future-proof whilst helping reduce energy costs and contributing to a sustainable future.
No load management vs. intelligent load management
Without load management, your company cannot exploit the vast potential for considerably reducing your ongoing energy costs. As energy requirements vary during the course of the day, increased energy costs are expected during peak load times. This financial load also has an impact on your company’s ability to compete. Furthermore, insufficient load monitoring can jeopardize network stability and lead to overload.
Intelligent load management optimizes energy consumption and reduces costs in the long run. You also benefit from lower tariffs and reduce consumption, particularly during peak load times. Intelligent load management solutions also help stabilize the mains by compensating for load peaks and avoiding bottlenecks. This effect is increasingly important in the light of greater integration of renewable energies and their fluctuating availability.
Intelligent monitoring of energy demand does not just financially make sense, it is also extremely important in ensuring a reliable power supply.
What is load management and how does it work?
Load management is the monitoring of energy where the aim is to match demand with available capacity. This takes place via the use of suitable load management solutions, which optimize upcoming loads and intelligently monitor consumption.
Our systems continuously record and analyze energy consumption to identify potential load peaks and to take suitable mitigating measures. By delaying or even switching off loads which are not essential, you can reduce energy consumption without it having an impact on your production processes or being an inconvenience.
Use of automated systems and selecting the right load management method means energy consumption can be controlled in line with your requirements and usage profiles whilst taking the available resources into account.
Different types of load management
Static load management
In static load management, a fixed power is made available and equally distributed across various consumption points where required. Typical applications for this include charging stations for e-mobility that are supplied by an on-site mains connection.
Advantages:
- Simple implementation
- Low costs
- No real-time monitoring required
Disadvantages:
- Lack of flexibility in the event of unexpected changes
- Limited adaptability
Suitable for:
- Private households
- Small companies with stable energy demand
Applications:
- Residential properties
- Offices
- Smaller production facilities
Holistic load management
Holistic load management provides comprehensive optimization of energy consumption, particularly with energy-intensive production processes that have pronounced power peaks. It allows for intelligent monitoring of the available capacity whilst also taking decentralized power supply options into account with energy planning.
Advantages:
- Full optimization of energy consumption
- Combination of different load management strategies
- Maximum flexibility and efficiency
Disadvantages:
- Complex implementation
- High investment costs
Suitable for:
- Large companies
- Industrial facilities with complex energy profiles
Applications:
- Large-scale industries
- Complex infrastructures for energy network operators
Schedule-based load management
Schedule-based load management supplements dynamic load management and provides another option for managing charging output. Distribution of charging output is not managed based on vehicle-specific charging output and the energy demand of vehicles, but based on pre-defined schedules instead. These schedules set out when and which vehicles are supplied with a specified charging output. For example, vehicles that come to the charging station at a later point can be supplied with a higher power. As a result, the charging times of electric vehicles can be managed in accordance with requirements and ensures that certain vehicles are available at defined times. Schedule-based load management therefore enables optimized use of available charging output and efficient organization of charging processes.
Advantages:
- Full optimization of energy consumption
- Combination of different load management strategies
- Maximum flexibility and efficiency
Disadvantages:
- Complex implementation
- High investment costs
Suitable for:
- Large companies
- Industrial facilities with complex energy profiles
Applications:
- Large-scale industries
- Complex infrastructures for energy network operators
Dynamic load management
Dynamic load management is an innovative solution for ensuring optimal usage of a limited mains connection capacity. It flexibly adapts the available power to electricity consumption, particularly during different times of the day. This adaptation means additional charging output can be provided for electric vehicles as soon as energy demand in the building falls. This means electric vehicles can charge up faster. If the total energy is insufficient to cover the needs of all consumers of electricity then the charging output per vehicle is reduced to avoid the network from being overloaded or to avoid load peaks.
Advantages:
- Real-time monitoring
- Flexible adaptation to changing loads
- Optimal usage of available resources
Disadvantages:
- Higher implementation costs
- Continuous monitoring required
Suitable for:
- Apartment blocks and residential buildings
- Large companies
- Industrial facilities with fluctuating energy demand
Applications:
- Residential buildings
- Factories
- Hospitals
- Shopping centers
- Data centers
