Make it happen – add intelligence to every-day’s operation.
Every day is a little different on your customer sites, the grid and the markets. What if your automation would get smarter?
The same logic we use in optimizing the Seita Simulations is also available to you in live operation, to compute the best schedules every day. With our FlexMeasures platform, we will model your building and assets in real-time conditions, and ensure the optimal outcomes which you see in the simulations for real.
What is a “cloud EMS”? Well, our EMS service adds intelligence to an existing on-the-ground automation solution, like a building energy management system (BEMS) or a smart gateway. The industry now begins to distinguish these systems with the terms “on-site EMS” and “cloud EMS”. Both are tough to get right, and together they form the modern EMS approach of the future.
Features
The features from Seita Simulations apply here as well: Batteries, EV charging, solar, dynamic tariffs (EPEX), limited grid connection etc
Compute new schedules multiple times per day
Add a new site in our online form yourself (coming soon!)
We enrich necessary live data on the platform, like the dynamic tariffs
Easily check the connectivity status of all relevant data per site
Replay any time frame in our deep-dive data view, to see how forecasts lead to schedules
Review daily and monthly totals of usage and crucial totals (coming soon!)
Ability to change various parameters in the UI, e.g. battery limits (coming soon!)
We are building partnerships with smart gateway vendors like WithTheGrid and Dijkman, and there are also possibilities to build integrations with existing building control systems.
Example case: Vehicle-to-grid control
We operate the batteries of more than ten Nissan Leafs, each in their own building, with our FlexMeasures platform. The local control (on-site EMS) has also been co-developed by us in an innovation project. The cars charge & discharge to be ready for user-defined set points (e.g. for longer rides), keep the battery within user-defined limits (e.g. 20%-80%) and otherwise optimize economic results from the dynamic tariff (spot market prices).

How does it work?
Seita offers channel partners the following journey to implement an intelligent real-time orchestration of their sites.
Note: It takes care to go live, and to understand all communication aspects between the site and our platform. We have your back, also when results are in and you wonder what happened and what else is possible. To make this work, we look for establishing a collaboration where we define together the types of sites you need to run, and then scale that service with you across sites.
