Stefan Feilmeier, CEO of FENECON GmbH and a member of the OpenEMS association since 2019, discusses his extensive experience in energy management systems. He highlights FENECON's diverse product portfolio ranging from small-scale systems for residential use to large containerized solutions with capacities up to 1.5 MW and 4 MWh. These are managed by their proprietary FEMS (FENECON Energy Management System), which offers online monitoring and customization capabilities for optimizing performance according to specific applications. The integration with OpenEMS—an open-source energy management system—facilitates collaboration across communication schemes among partners within the renewable energy sector, aiming at reducing reliance on fossil fuels by enhancing flexible production methods towards achieving a sustainable future by 2030. Emphasizing past generational challenges like transportation infrastructure development as inspiration, he advocates collective efforts in addressing current climate issues through innovative energy strategies while introducing Julie from VIA Energi who will further elaborate on these topics during the session.

Battery storage systems consist of three main components: battery (including BMS), conversion unit (inverter), and controller (EMS). The EMS was used to simply calculate target values for the inverter, based on power meter readings, and to monitor inverters and battery's functionality. Today, it also controls or optimizes other devices in a local energy system, such as EV chargers and heat pumps. Modern EMSs optimize assets for multiple use cases (e.g., solar self-consumption, grid usage, dynamic tariffs). Learn more about the latest trends, including the use of AI in energy management systems for battery storage.
