Features of OPTIMAX

Objective:

OPTIMAX® optimizes powerconsumption, while reducing en- ergy costs, and minimizingenvironmental impact. The solution allows customers to takecontrol of their energy operations, maximizing self-consumption of generation, minimizing opera- tions during peak load times, and reducing grid purchases. The system provided can be extended later on (not in the scope of this offer) to integrate further conventional and other kind of renewable generation units as well as energy storage units and combined heat and power applications. A highlight of this solution is the scalability for the considered technologies as well as for the functional scope. This allows reacting on constantly changing customer and market requirements. Our experienced agile team in the area is driving this technology to meet future requirements. OPTIMAX gets installed on an industrial PC which is installed in an enclosure. The IPCneeds a connection to the communication network, which comprises all controlled assets. An internet connection is requiredfor remote commissioning and service. Later this connec- tion may be used to add cloud services.

• EMS target function is executed automatically • Customer can observe operation on web interface - Monitoring of energy consumption / production / storages / alarm notifications • Customer can change operation modes. • Reporting and documentation - Csv Reports can be configured in OPTIMAX and be sent via SFTP to a customer server.

The OPTIMAX user interface is accessible in the same network through webserver. OPTIMAX target function:

• Minimization of energy cost - Store energy when there is solar excess (plus between PV power and consumption); • Peak shaving - To reduce the energy demand during peak times and to reduce the Peak demand charge • Simple PV forecasts: Based on the last days, the expected solar generation is calculated operation in island mode depend on project requirement
