Equipment Energy Management course
The following product types shall be additionally available in each training rig next to the equipment listed for the Basic course:
Energy Data Collection
Collection of energy consumption or production data can be achieved using at least one of the following solutions:
- KNX electricity (sub)meters, or (sub)meters that allow data to be read via special interfaces (e.g., optical interfaces).
- KNX/Modbus gateways for tapping into data of Modbus devices (e.g., non-KNX inverters, non-KNX wall boxes, etc.)
- Native KNX devices like inverters, battery storage, etc.
- Energy actuators for measuring specific loads, including threshold monitoring and logic functions (Note: If logic functions are not available, an additional logic device is required.)
Controlling of loads and storage
- KNX/Modbus gateways for controlling Modbus devices (e.g., non-KNX wall boxes, non-KNX inverters)
- Native KNX devices like wall boxes, battery storage, heat pumps, etc.
Energy Management Solutions
These solutions should typically support:
- Monitoring Energy
Visualization of energy flows (electricity, gas, water, heat, renewables such as PV, EV, and battery storage) - Energy Efficiency Optimization
Examples include:- priority-based switching of consumers and producers,
- optimized charging of batteries or EVs based on solar surplus or dynamic tariffs.
- Visualization
Dashboards displaying real-time and historical data, including alerting functionalities.
- Monitoring Energy
