The Solution
coneva was able to offer a solution that is perfectly tailored to the needs of the aktiv & irma market. The energy system implemented in the supermarket not only integrates innovative hardware and software components from SMA and Danfoss.
In addition to the modules, the inverters and the battery storage, numerous monitoring devices, valves, frequency converters and controllers are installed. One of the latest innovations is the digital energy management with a holistic view and real-time optimization.
The PV system has been producing solar power on the roof of the building for a good year now. This is either consumed directly by electrical devices in the supermarket or temporarily stored in the battery storage for the time after sunset. When it is dark or when it is particularly hot and more energy is needed, the electricity then comes from the battery. It does not have to be purchased from the energy supplier at expensive rates.
The heart of the system is the coneva Gateway, which, in combination with SMA’s Data Manager, networks and controls all energy data, building management data (heating, cooling, etc.), storage system and EV charging infrastructure.
