External battery control

With external battery control, an external market operator, e.g. an energy supply company, controls the charge/discharge of the battery using an external energy management system.

For example, the energy of the battery can be fed into the public grid as required or charged from the public grid to stabilise it. The battery energy can of course also be used in your own house grid.

Information about the configuration of the external control can be obtained from the relevant service provider (e.g. energy supply company).

The advantage for plant owners is that they receive remuneration from the external supplier for the energy provided, for example.

External battery control can be activated and configured in the Webserver in the Service menu under "Battery settings".

The following control interfaces are available:

External battery control without existing energy meter (KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter)

External battery control can also be carried out without a separate energy meter (KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter). In this case, the energy flow in the house cannot be measured and control of the battery is handled fully by the external energy management system.

Here, the external energy management system is responsible for compliance with the battery limits and battery protection.
