Ngenic Energi is now launching an updated version of its Tune app with two highly requested features: a new model for calculating actual energy savings and a tool for automatic power limiting. 

Individual Calculation of Energy Savings 

The new savings estimate is customized for each home that has a Track connected. Track is Ngenic’s solution for measuring energy consumption via the electricity meter’s P1 port or through optical reading withNgenicTrack Opto. By analyzing how the home responds to outdoor temperatures and how the control system affects energy usage, the system can compare consumption with and without optimization—under the same weather conditions.  

The result is presented as an estimate in both kilowatt-hours and Swedish kronor, along with a confidence interval that indicates how reliable the calculation is. 

Calculate Savings – Ngenic

Requires real-time data from Track 

The feature is initially available to users with the Ngenic TrackHANorNgenicTrackOpto real-time meter,which provides the system with detailed data.  

In May, the first integration with another “electricity meter dongle” will be released, and in the future, support will be added for more brands be expanded. 

For those users without Track or another compatible browser , a simpler  cost-saving calculator be launched 26 May.

New Feature Aims to Reduce Power Peaks 

At the same time, a new power-limiting feature is being introduced. It allows users to set a cap on their household’s power consumption during specific times.  

If the system predicts that consumption is likely to exceed the limit, the heat pump automatically adjusts to avoid high power peaks. 

Adapted to a Changing Electricity Market 

The background to this is the power-of-use tariffs that an increasing number of electric utility companies have introduced, in which the cost is based on peak power consumption rather than total energy consumption. Although the requirement for mandatory power-of-use tariffs was recently withdrawn in Sweden, trends within the EU suggest that this model will become more common in the future. 

The power limit is included in Ngenics' Standard and Premium subscriptions.
