Seamless communication between the smart grid and the home energy management system!

KEO Edge ensures that communication between the grid and controllable units such as the SMGW, the control box and the CLS gateway is secure, interoperable and efficient.

Configurable EEBUS use cases for direct communication with all local energy-relevant devices

The KEO Edge software serves as an interface between the grid network and the controllable units in the HEMS. In addition, through the integrated CLS.EEDI functions, it automatically fulfills all regulatory requirements such as the collection and transmission of meter data and relevant information for load balancing. At the same time, its data processing enables the optimization of the use of dynamic tariffs.

The functions of KEO Edge at a glance

  • Compliant with all regulatory requirements (§14a EnWG LPC, §9 EEG LPP) in the context of energy usage.

  • Power envelopes with Power Envelope (POEN) and Power Demand Forecast (PODF).

  • Dynamic tariffs with Time of Use Tariffs (TOUT).

  • Static control from the grid – based on forecasts, anticipatory static control can be applied.

  • Direct control for an unlimited number of devices.

  • Local API for EMS logic on the device – KEO Edge offers an optional interface for your EMS logic, allowing you to take over energy management in the home.

  • Support for TPM 2.0, BSI-compliant and certified.

CLS.EEDI – the digital interface to the smart grid

Developed and tested in several German and European research projects, CLS.EEDI is the first choice for an efficient and regulation-compliant solution for EEBUS communication from the smart grid to the house connection point.

It guarantees seamless integration into the power grid and market, is BSI certified, and new requirements can be implemented very quickly and elegantly with CLS.EEDI.

CLS.EEDI shows its strengths when these requirements play an important role:

  • Fluctuating availability and cost-sensitive bandwidth of WAN communication
  • Interoperability on the property and in the WAN through compliance with VDE AR 2829-6
  • Scalability and security through the use of the MQTT(s) protocol
  • Modular expandability and open interface (open source)

Scope of services CLS.EEDI

  • Control according to §14a EnWG (LPC) and control according to §9 EEG (LPP)
  • Transmission of tariff information (TOUT)
  • Power bands (POEN) and power forecast (PODF)
  • Transmission of measurement data from the home network
  • Exchange of security information for commissioning
  • Feedback to the backend for process documentation
