Customized Energy Control

Our advanced control systems communicate seamlessly with grid operators such as Fluvius, Ores, Sibelga, Resa and Elia via protocols such as IEC104, Modbus RTU and 4-20mA. They offer features such as DI/DO processing, control of PV/Wind/Batteries via Modbus TCP, and reactive controls for injection points and offtake, including capabilities for injection limiting, load balancing, and cloud data integration.

Basic control systems include:

  • Communication with the grid operator:
    • Fluvius: IEC104
    • Ores: Modbus RTU
    • Sibelga: Modbus RTU
    • Resa: 4-20mA
    • Elia: 4-20mA è Pilot project with Elia via Engie is probably in the works to communicate with their cloud via IEC104
  • DI/DO processing;
  • Control PV/Wind/Battery via Modbus TCP + read in measured values (including combination of these things);
  • Controlling CHP via 4-20mA or Modbus TCP;
  • For Fluvius: reactive control on injection (measured at injection point);
  • Priority rules (e.g. enabling older plants with green power certificates first è usually only controllable via ON/OFF, here optimisation is often not possible);

Additional options

  • Injection limit:
    • Can be fixed by e.g. an injection limit imposed by the grid operator
    • Can be flexible by e.g. dynamic pricing (by requesting setpoints in the cloud)
  • Load balancing (= off-take limiting) e.g. by controlling charge posts;
  • Reactive regulation at offtake (to avoid penalties);Reactive control of different sub-installations at different injection points;
  • Optimisation of priority rules by taking into account the current yield per plant section;
  • Sending data to the cloud (via MQTT, API, …);
  • Thermal buffering by e.g. additional heating of hot water in case of energy surplus;
