ePowerBooster: Saving fuel in hybrid energy systems

In this short case study, we focus on a hybrid energy system using Victron Energy components and ePowerBooster software – a new cloud-based controller built by Elum Energy […]

It is often hard to define fixed genset start and stop rules that stay optimal throughout the year. For example, during the sunny season, charging your battery at night with a genset may lead to lost solar energy that could have been stored the following day.

This is the issue that ePowerBooster solves. Rather than using a fixed set of parameters, the solution continuously monitors the daily PV yield and load profile – then adapts the start/stop rules.
