While we're all familiar with basics like turning off lights in empty rooms, there are some lesser-known tricks that can significantly impact your energy usage. I recently came across an article discussing three small changes that can make a big difference to your energy bills! Here are some insights I would love to share: 🌡️Smart cooling and heating: as we are ending another hot summer, the demand for cooling is continuously increasing, resulting in higher electricity bills. Have you considered multi-zone smart cooling or heating systems to save energy? Additionally intelligent thermostats are designed to adapt to your lifestyle, ensuring your comfort while optimizing energy usage 🧛 Vampire Devices: Around 23% of a household’s electricity is wasted by ‘vampire’ devices, which consume lots of energy even when on standby mode. Using smart plugs can help prevent unnecessary electricity consumption. 🤖 Home Energy Management: Electric vehicle (EV) chargers are among the biggest electrical loads that can raise your electricity bills. However, with a Home Energy Management System (HEMS), you can schedule charging during low-cost periods, charge with stored solar energy, and even sell it back to the grid, leading to substantial savings on your electricity bills.

🔌 *Code of Conduct for Interoperability of Smart Energy Devices* 💡 The European Commission has launched a code of conduct for interoperability of smart energy devices. The goal is to facilitate demand-side flexibility, essential for stabilizing the electrical grid in the context of increased integration of renewable energies. Interoperable smart energy devices enable consumers to optimize their electricity consumption, benefiting both grid stability and households by limiting costs. This initial version of the Code of Conduct covers a range of devices with an energy label: • Household appliances: washing machines, tumble dryers, washer-dryers, dishwashers; • Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), including heat pumps and water heating. It also includes the following "use cases": • Flexible startup • Energy consumption monitoring • Electric consumption limitation • Energy consumption management based on incentive schedules • Manual operation (providing necessary information in case of manual operation of the User Controlled Load) Unlike non-interoperable devices, which have specific control systems and services depending on their manufacturer, products compliant with the code of conduct will enable the provision of common services and the exchange of the same information to implement them.

Smart-home energy-management system: this is how the smart Energy Manager distributes solar power in the home. Energy Manager was shoehorned into the palm-sized Engine Smart Home Controller. It connects with the photovoltaic system to intelligently and automatically distribute solar power throughout the smart home. Household appliances take precedence. Once they have all the power they need, the energy flows to the heat pump, with any remaining surplus going to the battery for storage.

🌱 How to Calculate Runtime for a 1000W Inverter on a 100Ah Battery 1️⃣ Step 1: Determine the Battery’s Usable Capacity The usable capacity depends on the battery type: For lead-acid batteries: 100Ah × 12V × 50% = 600Wh For lithium-ion batteries: 100Ah × 12V × 90% = 1080Wh 2️⃣ Step 2: Factor in Inverter Efficiency Inverters are not 100% efficient. A good-quality inverter typically has an efficiency of 85-95%. For this calculation, we’ll assume 90% efficiency: Lead-acid: 600Wh × 90% = 540Wh usable energy Lithium-ion: 1080Wh × 90% = 972Wh usable energy 3️⃣ Step 3: Calculate Runtime Divide the usable energy by the load: For a 1000W load: Lead-acid: 540Wh ÷ 1000W = 0.54 hours (about 32 minutes) Lithium-ion: 972Wh ÷ 1000W = 0.97 hours (about 58 minutes) Know more about "How Long Will a 1000W Inverter Run on a 100Ah Battery", check 👇 https://lnkd.in/ggDw2u2n 🛒 Shop Deep Cycle 12V 100Ah Battery here: https://lnkd.in/gGDSuGVG #lithiumbattery #lifepo4 #LFP #energystorage #battery #new #solar #emegencypower

What’s the best smart solar charging solution for your home? ☀️ 🏡 There are two key routes to charging an EV with solar energy: A charging station with dedicated smart charging features, or; a charging station connected to a home energy management systems (HEMS) The best solution, as always, depends on your circumstances. If you only wish to optimize the solar connectivity of your home EV charger, then a dedicated smart charging feature (AKA, a single-appliance optimization tool) may be preferable. On the other hand, if you run a number of energy-intensive appliances at home (battery storage system, heat pump, etc.), then HEMS integration is likely to benefit your solar EV charging setup more. Want to find out more? In this blog, we dive into the ins-and-outs of both options. https://bit.ly/4a2AEZv #EVBox #EVCharging #SolarCharging #SmartCharging
