FLOWBOX will participate in this year's conference "Current Trends in Photovoltaics and Storage", which will take place on 20 March 2025 at the AMPER 2025 trade fair in Brno. At this event, Petr Gaman, Head of Advisory at FLOWBOX, will give a lecture on: How to effectively manage battery storage in homes and medium-sized businesses
Smart battery storage management - the way to savings and stability
Rising energy prices are forcing companies to look for new ways to optimize costs. Battery storage allows companies to store energy when prices are low and use it when market prices are higher, while providing a range of other services.
The development of energy storage in the Czech Republic is strongly supported by the new LEX RES III legislative package. It opens the way for companies to actively use battery storage and simplifies the conditions for installing storage systems. It also brings a range of other commercial applications for battery storage owners.
How to ensure that their operation is as efficient as possible?
Battery storage plays a vital role in microgrid management because it can flexibly act as both a consumer and producer of energy at the exact moment it is needed. The correct setup of control algorithms is crucial and must take into account:
- Current operational needs - dynamic control of charging and discharging according to energy prices
- Integration with another energy source such as PV or CHP
- Battery specifications - number of charge cycles, safety limits for charge/discharge
- Peak demand trimming - control of ¼ hourly reserved capacity and elimination of penalties for peak demand
- Provision of backup power and microburst coverage for the entire operation or selected workstations - e.g. for robotic workstations requiring uninterrupted operation
- Ability to offer the battery in flexibility schemes - providing support services to the energy market
- Data sharing for dispatch management - linking with building and whole company energy management
FLOWBOX EMOS - intelligent optimisation of energy flows
FLOWBOX EMOS (Energy Management Optimisation System) brings fully automated energy flow management to help companies:
- Optimise battery charging and discharging according to current spot electricity prices
- Reduce energy costs through dynamic energy use strategies
- Gain greater energy independence
- Increase return on investment in battery storage
FLOWBOX EMOS connects renewables, battery storage, building energy systems and industrial plants into one smart and flexible control.
