![CDATA[The AUTARIC KNX Smart Grid Interface enables the intelligent integration of heat pumps into a smart grid by evaluating information from PV systems, smart meters and the KNX system. It analyses the energy balance of these systems and uses the data to efficiently control the heat pump via the standardised 'SG Ready' interface. This means that the heat pump is preferably operated with surplus solar power, which optimises self-consumption and increases efficiency. Communication with the smart grid enables the heat pump's operating modes to be flexibly adapted to the current grid and energy conditions. This promotes sustainable energy use, reduces costs and contributes to the better integration of renewable energies.]]>
