Viessmann's energy monitoring system is being supplemented by intelligent control and prioritization of solar power.
Viessmann customers can both optimize their electricity consumption and intelligently control excess electricity, e.g. for charging electric cars.
Viessmann gridBox
In cooperation with Viessmann, the young company gridX has developed an energy dashboard that can be used to visualize and control energy flows.
The corresponding communication gateway - the Viessmann gridBox - connects all devices in the household and makes intelligent use of electricity possible.
digital energy services
gridBox serves as an interface for both heating and electricity products from the integrated Viessmann solution
Viessmann has been cooperating with gridX since 2018 and uses solutions, such as 'Independent Homes' to offer its customers digital energy services.
The gridBox serves as an interface for both heating and electricity products from the integrated Viessmann solution range. The white-label solution enables the distribution in the Viessmann corporate design.
gridX interface
Customers can keep an eye on electricity consumption and generation in the household in real time with the associated dashboard as a web view or via the appropriate app. For the first time, Viessmann thus combines resources from the sectors of electricity, heating, and mobility.
In addition, the company has access to all integrated customer systems via the gridX interface and thus identifies defective devices for predictive maintenance, for example.
pragmatic approach
"The cooperation between Gridx and Viessmann is a good example of how early-stage venture investments can simultaneously generate strategic added value for both partners through consistent customer orientation and a pragmatic approach," said Christian Harms-Ensink, Commercial Director, Viessmann PV & E-Systeme GmbH.
Christian Harms-Ensink adds, "The new functionalities create real advantages for the operators of our energy systems and will be the basis for further energy savings and new business models in the context of the energy transition."
intelligent energy management
The energy management of gridX also creates further degrees of freedom in handling the installed devices
New product developments also make intelligent energy management possible for Viessmann customers, i.e. the concrete control of energy flows.
In addition to increasing the degree of self-sufficiency, the energy management of gridX also creates further degrees of freedom in handling the installed devices.
self-generated PV power
Customers can prioritize the use of self-generated PV power by themselves. As soon as the household's consumption is covered, the surplus can be distributed to the devices in the system - according to the customer’s preferences.
For example, self-generated solar electricity can be used primarily to charge the electric vehicle. In addition to the electric car, controllable devices include the electricity storage tank hot water preparation, and, in the future, the heat pump.
drag & drop
In the enhanced dashboard, additionally to the visualized usage data, priorities can beset in the energy manager by drag & drop.ViShare
The gridbox also provides a digital connection to ViShare, the energy community of the Viessmann Group. The ViShare Energy Community brings private electricity producers and consumers together to jointly and actively promote the energy transition.
Viessmann and gridX thus continue to provide comprehensive system solutions from a single source with perfectly matched components in the sectors of electricity, heating, and mobility.
