Enabling Demand Response through Easy Open-Source Approach
Demand response is crucial for optimizing electricity consumption in a variable energy system. Shifting usage to off-peak hours benefits consumers and reduces the need for expensive energy storage solutions. Explore how VTT's open-source Hertta optimizer, integrated with Home Assistant, can help you save on electricity bills without compromising comfort. Join the efficient energy revolution today!

Enabling demand response through easy to use open source approach 17/10/2023 VTT beyond the obvious Essi Nousiainen
Why demand response is so important? Basic principle: shifting our electricity consumption to a moment when it is most beneficial for the system The variable production in the energy system is increasing In the future, the price of electricity will fluctuate even more Consumers benefit when they can shift their electricity usage to the time of day when it is cheaper No need to make massive investments to energy storage if electricity can be consumed as it is produced 17/10/2023 VTT beyond the obvious
Hertta: home energy system optimizer Free home automation system developing by VTT (open-source) For example, optimizing electric heating or electric vehicle charging Hertta can optimize device use to ensure you have the smallest possible electricity bill without compromising on comfort It uses data such as electricity price and weather forecasts in its optimization 17/10/2023 VTT beyond the obvious
Home Assistant and Hertta The program is used through the existing Home Assistant home automation software The Home Assistant software has not previously offered the capability for optimizing device energy usage and cost That s why there is Hertta! Wide Home Assistant community provides ongoing development for the software First demos of the system this autumn 17/10/2023 VTT beyond the obvious
