SMA Unveils Advanced Energy Management Solutions Focused on Efficiency, Comfort, and Sustainability

Bart van Remortel, the solution manager for SMA's home residential energy management solutions, discusses the company's new developments and aims in energy management at The Smarter E event. Their primary goal is to reduce utility bills without compromising comfort or sustainability. They achieve this by optimizing the use of solar energy and ensuring systems are user-friendly and reliable. Key announcements include advanced functionalities in their existing system: improved yield with over-dimensioned PV plants, compliance with Germany's Paragraph 15A legislation affecting grid capacity while maintaining comfort levels, and support for dynamic pricing facilitated by smart meters. Bart van Remortel emphasizes that efficient energy management involves two main aspects: high efficiency and intelligence. This includes handling fluctuating prices effectively through products like Sunny Home Manager, which has been widely adopted. Future trends involve further legislative changes aimed at managing peak demands on the grid more efficiently and utilizing smaller consumer contributions to balance it as virtual batteries for TSOs (Transmission System Operators).

Industrial and commercial flexibility is no longer experimental - it is becoming a core part of network operation and market participation. Across Europe, DSOs, transmission system operators (TSOs), aggregators and retailers are moving from isolated pilots to coordinated programs that avoid grid upgrades and deliver real capacity and financial value for all participants.This session focuses on the operational integration of C&I flexibility into routine grid workflows through dispatch, settlement, verification and commercial models. It highlights how flexibility is embedded in daily operations: from automated dispatch and verification tools to new contractual models that reward large energy users for adapting consumption. You will gain insight into replicable approaches for scaling flex portfolios, integrating them into control-room workflows and ensuring fair value-sharing across utilities, service providers and industrial consumers.
