Get energy at the lowest cost

Dynamic tariffs adjust electricity prices in real-time, letting you save money by using energy during low-cost periods or even earning during grid surpluses. Flexible and transparent, it ensures affordable, green electricity — even without a photovoltaic system.

ABB Smart EMS dynamic tariffs optimize energy use for devices like EV chargers and heat pumps, helping achieve significant savings.

Significant savings potential

Hourly price changes, smart meters, and efficient electricity management can help you reduce your energy costs.

Flexible and transparent

Unlike traditional tariffs, dynamic pricing lets you pay the actual market price for electricity plus taxes and network fees.

Don't pay for electricity or get paid for it

When there's excess electricity in the grid, you may pay nothing for electricity. In certain countries, prices may turn negative, allowing you to get paid for using energy.

Current dynamic tariff providers

Dynamic pricing models are currently available in Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Switzerland, with more options expected soon.

Tariff
Optimization

You can choose dynamic tariffs over fixed rates in the app or web portal and decide if each device should use only solar energy or combine it with low-cost grid electricity.

A broad selection of supported appliances

Our dynamic rates solution works with many appliances, including wall boxes, charging stations, heat pumps, home appliances.

Optimize your energy consumption

Our smart energy management solution optimizes various devices and applications to enhance effectiveness and cut energy costs.

Optimized energy consumption reduces electricity purchases, saves costs, and shortens the payback period for your energy management solution.

Hot Water

ABB Smart EMS turns excess solar power into hot water. Whether connected to an electric heat pump or a simple heating rod in your boiler, it helps you cut energy costs and use your solar energy more efficiently.

Electric Car

You may already control your EV charger, but integrating it with ABB Smart EMS makes it efficient. It optimizes charging to lower costs and reduce energy use, while keeping your comfort and preferences intact.

Battery

A battery can store surplus electricity for later use. The excess can come from either your solar system or the grid, allowing you to store energy when the tariff is low.

Smart Plugs

Smart Plugs allow ABB Smart EMS to control devices connected to a power outlet, automatically turning them on or off depending on the available energy surplus.

Heat Pump

ABB Smart EMS can directly control modern heat pumps, optimizing the temperature of the home based on weather forecasts to conserve energy. The system takes into account dynamic tariff rates, shifting high energy consumption to times when electricity prices are lower.

Home Appliances

ABB Smart EMS can manage home devices connected to the home network. The system can automatically start the dishwasher or washing machine when energy is cheapest.

Meet your AI energy assistant

While ABB Smart EMS already optimizes your energy use automatically, the energy assistant adds another layer of intelligence. Powered by machine learning, it provides helpful, real-time recommendations — like when to run appliances during solar peaks, alerts about low solar forecasts, or notifications about unusual energy patterns.

Energy Reports

Regular updates on key performance indicators like self-consumption rates, network performance, and major consumer changes. Energy Reports keep you informed and enable you to track developments effectively.

Anomaly Detection

Alerts about unusual issues like rising grid consumption despite steady production, hot water system problems, or unexpected device activity.

Optimization Proposals

Suggestions on how to maximize the efficiency of your ABB Smart EMS system. They include tips on utilizing expected production and smart loading modes for electric vehicle charging.

Next level optimization integrating heat pumps

ABB Smart EMS helps using surplus electricity for heating and hot water, maximizing self-sufficiency and energy efficiency. It supports simple integration methods like PV/SG-ready (via relays), but also LAN-based connections for more precise control and better monitoring. Using any of these options will make it easy to optimize energy use based on your system and building needs.

Seamless integration via PV- and SG-Ready

Our smart energy management solution supports heat pump integration through PV-Ready and SG-Ready relay contacts, enabling the pump to adjust its operation based on surplus energy.

Boost efficiency with direct LAN Integration

ABB Smart EMS supports LAN integration for specific heat pumps, offering precise control and bidirectional communication for better optimization and monitoring using the Heatpump Dashboard. Check now which integration options are available in the compatible device list.

Handle the load with ease and flexibility

ABB Smart EMS manages power use to prevent overloads from EV chargers, heat pumps, and other devices, adjusting consumption to match available energy system capacity. It uses surplus solar energy when possible and supports utility-required remote shutdowns, ensuring seamless EV charging resumes automatically after the signal clears.

Leverage dynamic load management

Dynamic load management helps homes and buildings handle EV chargers and heat pumps without costly upgrades. ABB Smart EMS adjusts charging power based on demand and uses surplus solar energy to prevent overloads.

Choose flexible load management

When the power grid is overloaded or load shedding is necessary, ABB Smart EMS supports the shutdown of large consumers and automatically resumes their operations. It also enables solar-powered charging during active shutdowns, offering an innovative alternative to traditional systems.

Energy communities

Energy communities represent the future of sustainable living, and ABB Smart EMS makes them a reality today. This innovative solution maximizes self-consumption, reduces energy costs, and optimizes electricity management by efficiently using locally produced energy within apartments or neighborhoods. The ABB Smart EMS app allows residents to easily monitor energy consumption and PV production, promoting mindful usage and sustainability.
