Energy management system · Batteries
Many companies invest heavily in battery storage for their energy installations, but see little return because the charging and discharging time is not optimized.
Batteries
Smartbox, an energy management system (EMS) for batteries, ensures that stored energy is used or traded at exactly the right time. With a smart link to current energy rates and grid taxes, a battery EMS prevents unnecessary costs and makes use of every earning opportunity.
Explanation
An EMS (energy management system) is the smart link between battery storage and the energy market. It automatically controls when to charge or discharge the battery, based on real-time energy rates, consumption profiles and grid capacity.
A battery EMS prevents you from supplying energy at times of loss and ensures that energy is available when your customers can benefit greatly from low electricity prices.
An EMS ensures that batteries do not simply fill or empty, but only respond to favorable signals from the market. This way, your customers use cheap electricity to store and only sell when it really pays off.
Without smart management, supplying food at the wrong time costs money. A battery EMS prevents this by automatically responding to price fluctuations, grid congestion and peak loads.
An EMS makes it possible to actively trade on energy markets, smooth peaks and avoid feed-in costs. In this way, the battery not only provides security, but also structural income.
Smartbox
Smartbox combines proprietary software with smart control of battery storage. It controls batteries fully automatically based on current energy rates, grid load and customer consumption.
Thanks to lightning-fast computing capacity and links with energy markets such as EPEX and the imbalance market], every battery becomes an active and indispensable part of the energy system.
Whether it concerns a small-scale energy installation or a large-scale project: Smartbox always ensures maximum utilization and efficiency. The system offers real-time insight, predictive data and complete control via one central portal.
With Smartbox, sustainable energy storage changes from a necessary investment into a smart source of income. The system automatically responds to price peaks within energy markets such as EPEX and the imbalance market, and uses energy exactly when it yields the most financial benefit.
At the same time, it reduces costs by dampening peak consumption and preventing unfavorable feed-in.
Smartbox is more than an EMS for batteries. It controls complete installations: from solar and wind energy to charging infrastructure, energy storage, generators and cooling.
Thanks to this broad compatibility, it is the total solution for installers and energy companies who want to manage different energy assets from one smart system.
Smartbox
Smartbox is one platform in three versions, tailored to the size of the installation. Smartbox Lite charges and discharges the battery for small business use at the EPEX price, together with solar and generator, up to approx. 10 assets. Smartbox Regular also markets the flexibility of the battery on balancing markets (FCR, aFRR) via aggregators, up to approximately 50 assets, including wind and cooling.
For large-scale installations with multiple energy sources, there is Smartbox Pro: 50+ assets, a customized control strategy and asset insight down to cell and string level. Think of large-scale consumption, industry, agriculture and multi-site with batteries, solar panels, charging stations and windmills.

Smartbox Portal
Smart energy management starts with overview, and that is what the Smartbox Portal on my.smartboxpower.com and the Smartbox app (iOS and Android) offer. This digital dashboard gives installers, energy companies and end users real-time access to consumption data, battery capacity, EPEX prices, grid input and yield from sustainable sources such as sun and wind.
As a partner, you manage all customer locations from one central environment, with the option to monitor and control installations remotely.
With optional links to weather stations and solar irradiation meters, Smartbox also looks ahead. The system calculates the expected revenue, so that your customers not only gain insight into what is happening now, but also into what is to come. A unique opportunity to proactively give your customers the best advice.
