EMS

An EMS (energy management system) is a smart combination of software and hardware that automatically controls and optimizes energy flows in buildings, with the goal of maximizing energy efficiency and reducing electricity costs. The system monitors energy production, consumption and battery status in real time, and optimizes self-consumption by storing excess electricity from solar cells in the battery instead of selling it to the grid at a low price. An EMS also controls when to charge or discharge the battery based on factors such as electricity price and time of day (arbitrage), and can integrate with the grid to participate in ancillary services such as frequency regulation. In addition, it provides advanced troubleshooting, monitoring and preventive maintenance capabilities, making it a central component of modern energy solutions for both homes and commercial properties.
