This shows the system's ability to identify and utilize low-cost energy periods for energy-intensive tasks. - Economic Efficiency in Battery Charging: The program strategically decided not to charge the battery storage at this time. This decision was based on an economic check that took into account charging losses and compared them against the average or highest energy prices of the day. This approach ensures that battery charging occurs only when it's most cost-effective. -- Optimal Use of Battery During Peak Hours: In the graph, the most expensive energy hours are indicated in the morning and evening. During these periods, the Spotmarket-Switcher used the stored battery-energy (shown in blue), thus avoiding high electricity costs. This is a smart strategy to reduce energy expenses by utilizing stored energy when it's more expensive to draw from the grid. +- Optimal Use of Battery During Peak Hours: At this day, the most expensive energy hours were in the morning and evening. During these periods, the Spotmarket-Switcher used the stored battery-energy (shown in blue), thus avoiding high electricity costs. This is a smart strategy to reduce energy expenses by utilizing stored energy when it's more expensive to draw from the grid. - Battery Reservation for High-Cost Hours: Post the high-cost periods, the battery's Energy Storage System (ESS) was turned off. It was not empty in the evening around 20:00. This action was taken to reserve sufficient battery capacity for the upcoming expensive hours in the next morning. It's a forward-thinking approach that anticipates future high-cost periods and ensures that stored energy is available to offset these costs.
