Holistic monitoring and control – full transparency and flexibility for your energy consumption
(electricity price manager)

Energy always in view and under control

With holistic monitoring and control, you can record all relevant energy flows in your company - from power supply to machine drives to heat energy. This monitoring not only allows you to analyze your energy consumption, but also to control it dynamically and precisely to achieve maximum efficiency and minimum costs. Comprehensive monitoring gives you insight into every aspect of your energy infrastructure so that you can react quickly to deviations or inefficiencies.

Why is holistic monitoring essential?

Holistic monitoring goes far beyond simply checking electricity meter readings. It continuously records all important data from your energy infrastructure and provides you with:

  • Real-time information on the current energy consumption of all systems and machines.

  • Detailed analyses that show optimization potential and help you use resources more efficiently.

  • Early warnings when something goes wrong – be it overload, inefficient machine operations or potential failures.

  • Optimized control that allows you to react dynamically to changes and avoid peak loads.

Our comprehensive monitoring solution enables you to increase the availability and performance of your assets, reduce power consumption and energy costs, and advance your sustainability goals.

The Electricity Price Manager – Intelligent Use of Flexible Electricity Tariffs

In today's energy landscape, electricity prices fluctuate greatly, especially with regard to the EPEX Spot Market and other variable tariffs. With our electricity price manager, you can make the most of these fluctuations by shifting energy consumption to the times when electricity is cheapest.

How does the electricity price manager work? The electricity price manager continuously records the current electricity prices on the market and dynamically adjusts your energy consumption. By flexibly controlling energy-intensive processes, you can avoid peak loads and operate your machines when the electricity price is lowest.

Make the most of flexible electricity tariffs Companies that benefit from flexible electricity tariffs can save up to 20% of their energy costs using the electricity price manager. By operating energy-intensive machines and systems at times when tariffs are low, you can avoid significant costs that arise from expensive peak times. Example: Let's assume that electricity prices fluctuate between 15 and 50 cents per kWh during the day. The electricity price manager automatically detects when the price drops to 20 cents or less and shifts the operation of energy-intensive processes - such as charging batteries or operating cooling systems - to these times. This way you reduce costs and make the best possible use of low tariffs.

The electricity traffic light – intelligent control based on electricity prices

Our electricity price manager works with a unique traffic light system that displays the current electricity price in different price zones and helps you choose the best time to run energy-intensive processes.

How does the electricity traffic light work for a customer? A farm uses the electricity traffic light to operate its milking machines and cooling systems efficiently. The electricity traffic light shows the current price situation in real time: Green: The electricity price is low and the systems can operate without hindrance. During this phase, the milking machines and cooling systems are running at full speed. Yellow: Prices are rising. The customer receives a warning and can decide whether to continue operations or reduce certain processes. Red: Electricity prices are at their highest. The electricity price manager automatically reduces the energy-intensive machines or postpones their use until a cheaper time. Thanks to this intelligent traffic light system, the farm was able to reduce its energy costs by 15% without affecting production output. The traffic light system gives clear instructions and allows the customer to react to price fluctuations in real time without having to sacrifice productivity.

Integration of the Stromfee diary – The central platform for your energy

The Stromfee diary is the ideal addition to our solution for holistic monitoring and control. It offers a central platform on which you can track all relevant energy data in real time. The integration of the Stromfee diary makes it possible not only to monitor energy consumption, but also to control it dynamically - based on the current electricity prices and the specific requirements of your production processes.

How does holistic monitoring and control work? 1. Real-time data collection The Stromfee diary records all relevant energy data from your infrastructure in real time - from network load to power consumption to machine performance. 2. Analysis and optimization Using the data collected, the system shows you optimization potential, enables targeted control and helps to shift energy consumption to times when electricity prices are low. 3. Dynamic control with the electricity price manager The electricity price manager continuously analyzes electricity prices and adapts the use of your machines and systems to price fluctuations. The electricity traffic light also tells you in real time when operation is cheapest.

Examples from customers of savings through holistic monitoring and electricity price managers Example 1: Manufacturing company saves 20% through flexible load management A medium-sized manufacturing company used the combination of the electricity price manager and the electricity traffic light to adapt the operation of its machines to fluctuations in electricity prices. By shifting the energy-intensive processes to times with cheaper tariffs, energy costs were reduced by 20%. Example 2: Agricultural company reduces energy costs by 15% through the electricity traffic light An agricultural company was able to operate the milking and cooling systems flexibly and avoid peak loads with the help of the electricity traffic light. A saving of 15% was achieved through targeted control based on electricity prices and the traffic light system.

Q&A – Everything you need to know about dynamic electricity tariffs

1. What are dynamic electricity tariffs? Dynamic electricity tariffs are flexible tariffs where the price of electricity fluctuates and is based on current market conditions. These tariffs reflect changes in the electricity markets, so the price of electricity is higher or lower at certain times, depending on supply and demand.

2. How do dynamic electricity tariffs work? With dynamic electricity tariffs, the price per kilowatt hour (kWh) varies depending on the time of day and the current electricity market costs. These price changes can occur hourly or daily, based on the current energy supply (e.g. more solar power in sunny weather) and demand (e.g. high electricity consumption in the evening). Customers can adjust their usage accordingly to get electricity at cheaper prices.

3. What are the benefits of dynamic electricity tariffs? Dynamic tariffs offer a flexible way to reduce electricity costs by shifting consumption to times when prices are low. The main benefits are: Cost savings: When using electricity at times when prices are low. Sustainability: Higher share of renewable energy, as tariffs are often lower when there is a lot of solar or wind power available. Transparency: Customers can understand the electricity market price and consciously control their consumption.

4. Are there any risks associated with dynamic electricity tariffs? Yes, with dynamic tariffs, prices can rise sharply during peak periods. If electricity consumption is not adjusted, unexpectedly high bills can occur. It is therefore important to optimise consumption to take full advantage and avoid expensive peak periods.

5. How can I benefit from dynamic electricity tariffs? To make the most of dynamic electricity tariffs, energy-intensive activities such as charging electric vehicles, operating machines or operating heating and cooling systems should be postponed to times when electricity prices are low. An electricity price manager can help with this by adjusting electricity consumption to price fluctuations in real time.

6. How do I know when electricity prices are low? Most dynamic electricity tariff providers offer apps or platforms where current electricity prices can be viewed in real time. These tools allow you to see when the price is low and plan your consumption accordingly. Automated systems such as the electricity price manager take care of this planning and adjustment for you.

7. For which companies are dynamic electricity tariffs particularly suitable? Dynamic tariffs are particularly suitable for companies with high and flexible energy consumption that can easily adapt their use to price fluctuations. These include: Production companies: Machines and systems can be operated during times when electricity prices are low. Agricultural companies: Milking machines and irrigation systems can be operated at low times. Data centers: Data processing can be postponed to times when tariffs are low

8. Can I combine dynamic electricity tariffs with an energy management system? Yes, an energy management system such as the Stromfee diary can automatically monitor dynamic electricity tariffs and adjust your consumption based on current prices. This helps you to use energy at the cheapest times and thus minimize costs.

9. How flexible do my operations need to be to use dynamic electricity tariffs? The more flexible your operations, the more you can benefit from dynamic tariffs. If you can easily shift your energy-intensive processes, e.g. to night times or times of lower demand, electricity consumption can be optimally adjusted. Companies that have continuous production processes may be less flexible, but still benefit from automated systems that make small adjustments.
