Optimising Dynamic Electricity Tariffs for Businesses

With dynamic electricity tariffs, the electricity price changes depending on the situation on the electricity market. Companies can specifically use these price differences to reduce their energy costs.

Optimisation through intelligent control

An energy management system continuously analyses electricity prices and controls the deployment of systems accordingly. A battery storage system, for example, charges when electricity prices are low and provides energy when prices rise.

Combination with renewable energy

This strategy is particularly effective in combination with a solar system with storage. Surplus solar power can be stored or used in a targeted way to avoid drawing electricity from the grid.

Further applications

• Optimisation of energy costs in industry and commerce
• Intelligent control of charging infrastructure
• Making electricity consumption more flexible
• Reducing electricity consumption during high-price periods

Through this forward-looking use of dynamic electricity prices, companies can reduce their energy costs in the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does optimising dynamic electricity tariffs mean?

Optimising dynamic electricity tariffs describes the targeted use of time-dependent electricity prices in order to reduce electricity costs. Energy is preferentially purchased or stored at favourable times.

How does a dynamic electricity tariff work?

With dynamic electricity tariffs, the electricity price changes regularly according to the situation on the electricity market. Consumers can adjust the timing of their electricity consumption in order to benefit from lower prices.

What role does a battery storage system play with dynamic electricity tariffs?

A battery storage system can take up electricity at favourable times and provide it again when prices are high. This can significantly reduce electricity costs.

Why are energy management systems important for dynamic tariffs?

Energy management systems analyse electricity prices, consumption and generation and automatically control storage systems, installations or charging infrastructure in order to optimise electricity costs.

For which companies are dynamic electricity tariffs particularly attractive?

Dynamic electricity tariffs are particularly attractive for companies with battery storage systems, photovoltaic systems or charging infrastructure, as they can flexibly adapt their energy flows to electricity prices.
