EEBUS Connector app for ctrlX OS
The open communication standard EEBUS enables the networking of relevant devices and systems in the field of energy management. The "WAGO EEBUS Connector" app provides a solution for seamless communication between grid operators and energy management systems.
The goal is to display the data from the local eebus devices (e.g. the control box) within the ctrlX Data Layer, making all interfaces and data points of the grid connection point available for further processing. Based on this, a comprehensive energy management system for consumers and storage units is made possible. For example, the grid operator can (in accordance with §14a of the German Energy Industry Act) reduce power consumption in facilities during peak demand through grid-friendly control, helping to prevent grid instability.
The EEBUS protocol can be used for various applications around the grid connection point. It helps to optimize communication between consumers such as e-charging, photovoltaic systems, and battery storage. In all areas of application, control commands for limiting energy consumption and production can be integrated and reported back to the grid connection point via the control box. The "WAGO EEBUS Connector" app supports efficient energy use and enables flexible energy concepts.

Features
Limitation of Power Production (LPP)
Enables the system to limit power production, with the option to define a specific duration. This prevents overload in the low-voltage distribution network by dynamically reducing the power output from connected generation devices, either directly or through a local energy management system, according to the received limits.
Limitation of Power Consumption (LPC)
Enables the system to limit the power consumption of a building or individual devices, with the option to specify a duration. This helps prevent overload scenarios in the low-voltage distribution network by dynamically reducing power usage, either directly from the connected devices or through a local energy manager. If an energy management system is available, the limit applies to the total power consumption of the building. If no energy management system is available, the limit is applied to individual devices.
Monitoring of Power Consumption (MPC)
Enables the system to monitor and visualize the power consumption or power generation of devices in the local low-voltage distribution network. The energy manager can incorporate the devices' power consumption/generation into its control algorithm and, if connected to a Distribution System Operator (DSO) control box, may also provide the consumption data of flexible loads to the DSO.
Monitoring of Grid Connection Point (MGCP)
Enables the system to transmit measurment data from the grid connection point, such as voltage and frequency at the grid connection point as well as power, energy, or current being fed into or drawn from the grid. The energy manager can utilize the total power consumption within its control algorithms, perform consumption calculations, or visualize the data. Additionally, the DSO may access the total power consumption from the control unit to identify hotspots or assess grid quality through voltage and frequency data.
