Smart Energy Management makes a substantial contribution to energy transformation through “smart” ways. The prosumer is able to learn about the CO2 emissions reduction from the consumption levels, as well as about the green energy produced and consumed in the energy neutrality target scale, while at the same time, prosumers can significantly reduce energy bills.

With the installation of PV systems, the user produces its own energy, which is then stored in dedicated batteries to be fully leveraged. The fully autonomous system-platform, through the dedicated algorithms developed by MYTILINEOS, aims to meet the energy needs of residents as much as possible from green energy while maximising the overall life cycle of the battery, with indirect economic benefit. In this way, the energy consumption and the general energy function of the household are not disrupted at any point and the user does not perceive any possible temporary changes in the operating flow. Through the interactive platform, the prosumer is able to use simple indicators and diagrams, understand the system's operation, see the reduction of CO2 emissions for the household, see how green it is - both daily and annually - how much solar energy has been used (either directly or through the battery) and overall, how much the "dirty" energy absorbed by the network has been limited. Finally, if equipped with an electric vehicle bidirectional charger (V2B), the prosumer can easily control its charging level while the excess energy of the car battery can be utilized for the household's energy needs.

Therefore, the user charges, stores and… "discharges" the environment by exchanging the remaining "green" energy.

The system's 3 main benefits are the following:

  • It improves and extends the battery life, reducing energy management costs and battery maintenance costs
  • The necessary energy security is ensured in case of blackout, as the household battery is always charged based on weather forecasts and AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithms that recommend the use of household appliances
  • A realistic net zero target is set, by optimizing the use of the system and adapting it to the specific energy profile, with the aim of increasing the personalized use of ‘green’ energy through battery/PV

In addition, through the Prosumer Energy Management system, it is possible to create a smart and interactive energy community once anyone can install and use the equipment to enjoy the above benefits.
