Operate

With Operate you follow your battery in day-to-day operation: you see what it actually delivers, and compare it with what was calculated during planning.

From plan to operation

Every operated battery points back to the analysis it came from. Furo uses the planned profile as the reference and puts the planned savings next to the actual ones. That way you see at a glance whether operation is holding to the plan, and you can jump back into planning at any time via "To planning".

The battery view

Whether it's a live battery or a virtual battery: when you open a battery, you see the same live view.

• Header with the asset data (Capacity, Power, Efficiency, SOC min/max, Load peak, Demand charge (Leistungspreis)) and the status Operating or Inactive, plus "To planning" back into the matching analysis. If your grid operator bills your peak load via atypical grid usage (atypische Netznutzung), the header also shows, per season, the high-load windows (Hochlastzeitfenster, HLZF) in which it is measured.
• Latest energy flows: how power is currently flowing between grid, PV, battery and consumption.
• Savings over selectable periods: yesterday, 7 days, 30 days and year.
• Cumulative savings: the actual savings in a running comparison with the planned ones.
• Peak shaving: the peak load your grid fee (Netzentgelt) is actually billed on — with and without the battery, each measured over the same billing period. If your distribution network operator (DSO) bills monthly (monthly demand charge), you see each month separately and above it the savings accumulated so far. Under atypical grid usage only the peak inside your high-load windows counts.
• Energy flows over time: shows the load distribution for every quarter-hour the way planning does: the gross load split into what covered it – PV production, load covered by the battery and grid import –, its top edge a thin dark line "Bruttolast". Above the gross load you see the PV production that charged the battery or was fed in, and the curtailment. Curtailed means your system could have delivered the power but had to hold it back at negative feed-in prices or at the grid connection limit. Below it the battery on its own: above the zero line where it discharges to, the load or the grid; below it what it charges from, PV or the grid. The PV and load forecasts are dotted alongside the actual values; state of charge (SOC) and prices run at the bottom.
• Flexibility marketing: if your power is traded by a marketer, you see the executed buys and sells for each quarter-hour below the state of charge — the same display as in planning: a buy charges the battery (bar upwards), a sell discharges it (downwards), the color shows the market (DAA = day-ahead auction, IDA = intraday auction, IDC = intraday continuous). The hover shows the energy volumes per market, the number of trades and the result in euros.
