Meanwhile, I’ve been diving into optimizing my home energy management system. With a home battery and dynamic hourly energy rates from Nordpool, I’m exploring ways to automate decisions on buying, selling, or holding energy. The goal is to maximize profitability while considering the battery’s operational costs.
The challenge lies in creating a robust template or calculation method that evaluates future price trends without relying on predictions. For instance, determining the optimal time to sell stored energy or wait for better rates. While straightforward patterns are manageable, the complexity increases with fluctuating rates throughout the day.
I’m considering hourly calculations for the next 24 hours to make informed decisions. If anyone has insights or suggestions on how to approach this, especially in terms of simplifying the calculations without compromising accuracy, I’d greatly appreciate the input!
Smart home technology continues to amaze me, offering endless possibilities for efficiency and innovation. Let’s keep the ideas flowing and support each other in these exciting projects!
