A battery without control is just an expensive backup

Hourly electricity prices change several-fold during the day, demand peaks set the charge for reserved capacity, and solar PV generates when it pleases. A battery only has value when someone decides when and why it charges.

EnergoMind is the one that decides: our battery and energy management system, supplied with every battery. You buy a battery with control here; how the control works is shown on energomind.sk.

What you get on top of the battery

Control by spot prices

EnergoMind knows the next day's OKTE DAM prices and schedules charging into cheap hours and discharging into expensive ones, within the battery's limits.

Peak shaving with forecasting

From the load history it forecasts peaks and keeps them below the reserved capacity. Exceeding the capacity costs more than the electricity itself.

Battery protection

It does not run for the maximum number of cycles. It keeps depth of discharge, temperature and cycle count within the manufacturer's warranty conditions so the battery lasts years, not a season.

Gradual run-in

Monitor measures, shadow simulates and compares for seven days, auto controls. We do not switch on automation until we see that the decisions match reality.

Who it is for

  • Businesses with a battery from Energovisioncontrol is part of the delivery and the service contract
  • Businesses with a PV plant and reserved capacitya controlled battery as a tool for peaks and spot
  • Farmers and food producers with a subsidised batterya battery sized for the call, controlled for economics
  • Investors and the energy sectorMWh systems for the spot market with monitoring centre supervision

How deployment works

  1. 01

    Assessment from data

    From 15-minute data we calculate the benefit of control: peaks, self-consumption, spot.

  2. 02

    Installation of the battery and metering

    Battery, metering of load and generation, communication with the inverters and the monitoring centre.

  3. 03

    Monitor

    EnergoMind measures and learns the load and generation profile.

  4. 04

    Shadow, 7 days

    It computes decisions and compares them with reality. You see what it would do, without risk.

  5. 05

    Auto and supervision

    It controls the battery on its own; the monitoring centre watches 24/7. You see the results in the portal.

The vocabulary we use

Battery and energy management system

Not a BMS. A BMS is the electronics inside the battery; EnergoMind decides above it.

Virtual battery

An accounting product of an electricity supplier. It is not a virtual power plant, which is an aggregation of sources.

One project, six services

It is rarely just one thing. On a single delivery we also handle what sits upstream and downstream in the circuit.

Questions we get asked

1What does EnergoMind do?

It controls the battery and consumption by OKTE DAM spot prices, demand peaks and generation and load forecasts. It cuts the peaks so you do not exceed the reserved capacity, moves charging into cheap hours and protects the battery from cycles that shorten its life.

2What do the monitor, shadow and auto modes mean?

Monitor measures and learns your load. Shadow, during the 7-day run-in, computes what it would do and compares it with reality, but does not control yet. Auto controls the battery on its own. We switch on automation only after the run-in, once we see that the decisions match.

3Is EnergoMind a BMS?

No. A BMS is the electronics inside the battery that protects the cells. EnergoMind is the battery and energy management system above it: it decides when and why the battery charges and discharges, while respecting the manufacturer's conditions.

4Which batteries does it work with?

With the batteries we supply: Huawei LUNA2000, Sungrow PowerStack and PowerTitan, LONGi PotisFlexi. We assess other brands according to their interface.

5What savings does it deliver?

We will publish figures only from measured results after the run-in of the first installations, on energomind.sk. Until then we show the mechanism and a calculation from your data in the assessment, not promises.
