Peak load management – intelligently control energy and reduce costs

Optimize your energy consumption with peak load management from Stromfee

Peak loads are one of the biggest challenges for energy-intensive companies. They occur when your energy requirements suddenly increase sharply, e.g. due to the simultaneous operation of several machines or systems. These short-term peaks lead to significant additional costs, as energy suppliers charge higher fees for peak loads. With Stromfee's peak load management, you can avoid these peak loads, dynamically control your energy consumption and thus reduce your energy costs sustainably.

The advantages of peak load management with Stromfee Cost reduction through dynamic control With the Stromfee diary, we identify and analyze peak loads in real time. This allows you to take targeted measures to reduce these peaks or avoid them completely. By distributing your energy consumption more evenly, you can save up to 25% of your energy costs. Avoiding expensive grid fees Peak loads lead to high grid fees, which have a negative impact on your overall energy costs. By intelligently controlling your energy flows and using machines and equipment outside of peak times, you can avoid these unnecessary additional costs. Protecting your systems and machines Peak loads not only put a strain on the power grid, but also on your systems and machines. By reducing peak loads, you avoid unnecessary wear and tear and extend the service life of your equipment. Easy integration into existing systems Our peak load management can be easily integrated into your existing infrastructure. With the Stromfee software and intelligent measuring devices, we monitor all relevant energy flows and help you to efficiently control your consumption.

Why is peak load management important?

Peak loads drive up your electricity bills because utilities charge extra for high loads. These peaks can occur at short notice when several machines require energy at the same time. Through intelligent peak load management, we ensure that your energy consumption is distributed more evenly and peak loads are avoided. This not only saves costs, but also protects your systems from overloads and ensures a more stable energy infrastructure.

This is how peak load management works with Stromfee 1. Analysis and detection of peak loads The Stromfee diary monitors your energy consumption in real time. It automatically detects when peak loads occur and gives you immediate warnings before these peaks become expensive. Using this data, we analyze the causes of peak loads and show you targeted measures to avoid them. 2. Dynamic consumption control As soon as a peak load is identified, we can control energy consumption in a targeted manner. For example, certain energy-intensive devices can be automatically throttled during times of high load or shifted to times when energy demand is lower. This ensures a more even distribution of energy consumption and reduces costs. 3. Automated reports and notifications The Stromfee diary regularly creates reports on energy consumption and gives you detailed insights into the peak loads of your systems. This way, you always keep an overview and can react quickly to changes. If peak loads are imminent, you are notified in real time so that action can be taken immediately.

Savings potential with peak load management With intelligent peak load management, companies in different industries can achieve significant savings: Reduction of peak loads by up to 40%: By specifically controlling and shifting energy-intensive processes to times of lower loads, significant costs can be reduced. Up to 25% lower energy costs: By distributing energy consumption more evenly and avoiding network charges, you can reduce your energy costs in the long term. Reduction in maintenance costs: Fewer peak loads mean less strain on your machines, which leads to lower maintenance and repair costs.

Examples from customers of successful cost reductions through peak load management Example 1: Production company reduces peak loads by 30% A medium-sized production company regularly had high peak loads, which led to enormous additional costs. With the Stromfee diary, peak loads were reduced by 30% through dynamic control of the machines, which led to a 25% reduction in energy costs. Example 2: Agricultural company optimizes machine running times and saves 20% on energy costs An agricultural company used the Stromfee diary to control the energy consumption of its milking and cooling systems more efficiently. By shifting the energy-intensive processes outside of peak times, 20% of energy costs were saved.

Q&A – Everything you need to know about peak loads

1. What are peak loads and why are they so expensive? Peak loads occur when energy consumption increases sharply over a short period of time. These peaks can be caused by several energy-intensive machines or processes running simultaneously. Energy suppliers often charge extra for these peak times because they put a strain on the grid. These charges drive up energy costs, especially for companies with high electricity consumption.

2. How can peak load management reduce my energy costs? Peak load management helps you monitor your energy consumption and identify peak loads early. By shifting energy-intensive processes to times of lower demand, expensive peaks can be avoided. This reduces network fees and your overall costs by up to 25%.

3. Which types of companies benefit most from peak load management? Companies with energy-intensive processes, such as manufacturing companies, agricultural companies, logistics companies and commercial companies with high electricity consumption, particularly benefit from peak load management. They can significantly reduce their energy costs by distributing consumption more evenly.

4. How does peak load control work? The Stromfee diary monitors your energy consumption in real time and automatically detects peak loads. As soon as a peak is detected, the energy consumption of certain machines can be reduced or shifted to other times. This distributes consumption more evenly and avoids peak loads.

5. Can I avoid peak loads without disrupting my operations? Yes, peak load management enables dynamic control that does not disrupt your operations. We work with flexible solutions that allow you to shift energy-intensive processes to times when energy prices are lower or electricity consumption is lower without affecting the efficiency of your operations.

6. Are there government subsidies for peak load management? Yes, companies can benefit from government subsidies such as the BAFA subsidy. This covers up to 45% of the investment costs for energy management systems such as the Stromfee diary. We will support you in the application process so that you receive the maximum subsidy.
