Dynamic Electricity Prices

Dynamic electricity prices

Dynamic electricity pricing offers a number of advantages for both consumers and the electricity grid. Here are the main benefits:

1. Cost savings

Flexibility in electricity usage: With dynamic electricity pricing models, consumers pay different prices depending on the time of day and demand. Prices are often significantly lower during periods of lower demand, such as at night or on weekends. Adjusting one's electricity usage accordingly can result in considerable savings.

2. Promoting electricity consumption during low demand

Load shifting: When electricity consumers shift their usage to times with lower prices, this helps to reduce peak loads on the electricity grid. This relieves the strain on the grid and can help to avoid expensive and environmentally damaging electricity generation that is necessary during periods of high demand.

 

3. Better network stability

Load management and grid stability: Dynamic pricing promotes load management, where consumption is distributed throughout the day. This avoids extreme peaks in electricity consumption, making the grid more stable and efficient.

4. Incentive to efficiency

Increased awareness of electricity consumption: Consumers who opt for dynamic electricity pricing often develop a better awareness of their electricity consumption and pay attention to when and how they use electricity. This can lead to an overall more efficient use of energy.

 

5. Innovation and Smart Home

Technological innovation: With the introduction of dynamic electricity pricing, the possibilities for using new technologies such as smart meters, intelligent household appliances, and home battery storage also increase. These technologies can automatically adjust electricity consumption to price developments, leading to further savings.

 

Your advantages with our system

  • Economic benefits
    • Affordable grid electricity when there's surplus: Take advantage of affordable grid electricity when excess power is available.
    • Optimize battery storage: Charge when prices are low, discharge when prices are high for maximum cost efficiency.
    • Manage energy consumption: Charge your battery storage, wallbox, heat pump, and heating elements when prices are low or the PV forecast is poor.
    • Affordable electricity when there's little sun: Benefit from low electricity prices even during bad weather.

    • Usable without a PV system: Optimize your energy costs, even without your own PV system.

      These advantages help to sustainably reduce energy costs and maximize the use of electricity from renewable sources at affordable prices.

       

  • Easy integration

    Dynamic electricity pricing providers can be easily selected.

    SmartDog continuously compares prices and intelligently activates your devices.

    Network and general costs can be included in the forecast.

    This allows you to control your electricity usage based on the actual cost per kWh.

     

  • Charge batteries dynamically

    SmartDog automatically finds the cheapest times to charge and discharge your vehicle. It takes into account weather forecasts, electricity prices, and consumption forecasts.

  • Efficient memory filling

    The storage unit is only filled with the energy required for expensive price periods in order to avoid unnecessary costs and storage cycles.

  • Dynamically charging electric cars

    SmartDog automatically finds the cheapest times to charge, taking into account weather forecasts, electricity prices, and consumption forecasts.

  • Dynamically control the heat pump

    SmartDog automatically finds the cheapest times to heat your home, taking into account weather forecasts, electricity prices, and consumption forecasts.

  • Dynamically control heating elements

    SmartDog automatically finds the cheapest times to heat your home, taking into account weather forecasts, electricity prices, and consumption forecasts.

  • Simple manual intervention

    If you wish, you can change your system settings at any time via the app.

  • Price overview

    You can view and check the price history at any time on the portal or via the app.

  • Integration of weather forecasts

    If a good PV forecast is predicted, the system can forego using dynamic prices and instead utilize its own PV generation.

  • Requirement

    You will need a smart metering system (iMSys) or electricity tracker and a contract with an electricity provider for dynamic electricity pricing. The contract can usually be canceled monthly.

Electric cars are ideal for dynamic electricity tariffs, as in many cases it makes no difference whether the vehicle is charged at a high price at 6:00 PM or at a cheaper rate at 2:00 AM. This allows charging costs to be optimized without restricting the vehicle's availability.
