More and more companies and private households are discovering energy management to reduce their energy costs, to become more independent from electric utility companies and to secure a sustainable energy supply at the same time. For effective energy management, all energy sectors must be linked and their control optimized. Another important factor is the direct integration into the electricity market. To easily implement this, SMA has developed ennexOS. What is the IoT platform for energy management able to do and how does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One platform for (nearly) everything<\/strong><\/h2>\n

ennexOS is the first IoT platform for energy management that combines the data from different energy sectors in a complete system. Besides electricity, this also includes heat, refrigeration, cooling, storage and mobility. ennexOS analyzes all energy flows and will also intelligently control them in the future. The goal is to efficiently use available energy across all sectors and to identify potential savings. Thus, users can reduce their energy costs significantly. Power generators can also access the electricity market via the ennexOS platform. They can directly market surplus electricity without long processing times or additional equipment.<\/p>\n

ennexOS has a modular design that makes it flexibly scalable and expandable. It is thus particularly easy for installers, energy consultants, system designers and operators of decentralized power supply systems of all sizes to use the platform according to their requirements and to leverage future business models in the energy market.<\/p>\n

Planning systems across all sectors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This already starts with system planning and simulation: Until now, the individual sectors of an energy system had to be planned and calculated separately. Consolidating the individual results of the electrical and thermal calculations was not possible without significant effort. Accordingly, calculating the total energy system\u2019s profitability was very difficult. Now, SMA\u2019s planning software Sunny\u00a0Design\u00a0Pro \u00a0 uses the possibilities of ennexOS to map the entire system. In doing so, it includes all power generators and electrical appliances.<\/p>\n
