The Energy Generation Balance Control – Smart Energy Optimization mode is designed for homes and systems with internal power generation (such as solar panels, wind turbines, or battery storage). This mode helps reduce electricity costs by prioritizing internal power usage and limiting reliance on the external grid.

With this feature, users can:

  • Limit power consumption from the grid.
  • Optimize the use of power from an inverter.
  • Automatically control relays and dimmers based on energy availability.
  • Define load activation priority to ensure critical devices operate first.

Step 1: Energy Consumption Limits (Grid & Inverter)

In this section, users can set maximum power limits for grid and inverter consumption.

  • Grid Max Power Using (kW): [ input ] (leave empty for unlimited)
  • Inverter Max Power Using (kW): [ input ] (leave empty for unlimited)

Energy-Saving Recommendation:
To minimize grid consumption and maximize the use of internal generation, set:

  • Grid Max Power Using = 0
  • Inverter Max Power Using = unlimited (empty field)

This ensures that power is drawn only from the internal source unless the demand exceeds its capacity.

Step 2: Load Management (Relays & Dimmers)

Relay Control (On/Off Based on Energy Availability)

Relays are used for devices that require full ON/OFF switching.

  • Relay 1 – “Water Heater 1st Floor”
    ☑ Turn ON when sufficient/excess internal generation is available.
    ☑ Turn OFF when internal generation is insufficient.
  • Relay 2 – “Battery Charger”
    ☑ Turn ON when sufficient/excess internal generation is available.
    ☑ Turn OFF when internal generation is insufficient.

📌 Optimization Strategy:

  • Use relays for high-power devices that can tolerate periodic switching, such as water heaters and battery chargers.
  • Turn OFF non-essential loads when power from internal sources is low.

Dimmer Control (Smooth Power Adjustment Based on Energy Availability)

Dimmers allow gradual power regulation instead of full ON/OFF switching.

  • Dimmer 1 – “Underfloor Heating”
    ☑ Adjust power output based on available/excess internal generation.
  • Dimmer 2 – “Water Heater 2nd Floor”
    ☑ Adjust power output based on available/excess internal generation.

📌 Optimization Strategy:

  • Dimmers are ideal for heating systems, allowing power adjustment instead of abrupt switching.
  • If internal generation is high, dimmers will increase power to use excess energy efficiently.
  • If internal generation is low, dimmers will reduce power instead of shutting off completely.

Step 3: Load Activation & Adjustment Priority

This section allows users to define the activation sequence of connected devices. The system will follow this order when enabling, disabling, or adjusting loads.

📌 Drag and drop items to set priority:

1️⃣ Water Heater 2nd Floor
2️⃣ Water Heater 1st Floor
3️⃣ Underfloor Heating
4️⃣ Battery Charging

📌 Optimization Strategy:

  • Prioritize essential loads first (e.g., water heaters before battery charging).
  • If energy generation decreases, lower-priority devices will turn off first to maintain power for critical appliances.
  • If energy generation increases, higher-priority devices will turn on first, followed by less essential loads.

Energy-Saving & Cost-Reduction Strategies

  • Set Grid Max Power Using = 0 to avoid grid consumption unless necessary.
  • Enable priority-based load activation to ensure critical devices always receive power first.
  • Use relays for devices that do not require continuous operation (e.g., battery charging).
  • Use dimmers for gradual power adjustments to maintain operation at lower energy levels.
  • Monitor power usage and adjust limits dynamically based on seasonal or daily energy availability.

Conclusion

This mode is most effective for homes or systems with internal power generation. By properly configuring the settings, users can:
✔ Maximize self-consumption of renewable energy.
✔ Reduce electricity bills by limiting grid usage.
✔ Ensure stable operation of critical devices through priority management.
✔ Prevent energy waste by adjusting loads according to real-time generation.

Adjust the settings based on your energy generation capacity and household needs to achieve the best results.
