Think Bigger: HEMS as the Operating System of the Energy Transition

Recording of Friday, May 09, 2025 | The smarter E Europe | Exhibition Program | Language: English | Duration: 9:25 .

Exploring the Future of Energy Management Systems: Swiss Innovation and Integration for a Sustainable Transition

The speaker, who is the CEO of a company based in Germany and originally founded in Switzerland in 2018, discusses energy management systems (HEMS) as pivotal to integrating renewable energy sources like solar and wind into existing power grids. The emphasis is on transitioning from traditional oil-based production to more sustainable methods that align with current demand patterns. A key aspect of effective HEMS involves accurate forecasting for optimal device control at home, considering factors such as weather conditions and dynamic pricing. Connectivity issues are highlighted as significant challenges since many devices must be compatible with various manufacturers' products; this compatibility allows greater flexibility and innovation within local energy markets. Their platform supports integration with over 500 different devices, offering millions of possible combinations compared to limited options elsewhere. This adaptability enables seamless orchestration between components like heat pumps or EV chargers while fostering grid-friendly solutions through advanced AI tools—ultimately aiming for efficient resource allocation akin to virtual power plants.

The smarter E Europe Conference 2023 | Conference Program

In this session, we aim to discuss the success factors for end-user sector coupling as a meaningful and cost-efficient way of meeting the EU's decarbonization ambitions, playing a viable role in supporting large-scale integration of decarbonized energy into our power systems. The panel will look at what steps we can take to ensure that end-user sectors (mobility, heating and industry) become a conduit for a resilient energy system and a sustainable Europe. This discussion will be formulated as a cross-sector debate to identify the operational challenges and business opportunities that the integration of efficient end-user sectors offer for grid stability and decarbonization.

Panel Discussion: Distributed Energy Resources & Consumer Empowering

Wednesday, June 14, 2023, 09:00 am - 10:30 am

The smarter E Europe Conference 2023 | Conference Program

Our European energy system is undergoing a major transformation, moving towards decentralization with increased penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the grid, such as PV solar, battery storage, and EVs. While DERs provide clear benefits such as limiting costs, reducing CO2 emissions, and helping to empower consumers, there are still challenges to overcome to develop DERs to their full potential. This session will focus on best practices and innovative projects, both from a grid and user perspective (e.g. energy communities) and we will discuss how the regulatory framework can be improved to facilitate the penetration of DERs and active participation from consumers.
