This tool allows to simulate the effect of adding one or more batteries to you home configuration.
It can process the Fluvius quarter hour data from csv file and calculate:
- Simulated power consumption from net
- Simulated power injection to net
- Difference in power consumption (actual vs simulated)
- Difference in power injection (actual vs simulated)
- Consumption profit
- Injection loss
- Total annual saving
- Payback period
The calculations are based on the following configurable parameters:
- Battery capacity (kWh)
- Number of batteries
- Maximum charge/discharge power (kW)
- Battery purchase price (€)
- Consumption tarif (€/kWh)
- Injection tarif (€/kWh)
- Round trip efficiency (%)
Current default settings are in Settings.cls and are based on the HomeWizard plug-in battery and the average rates of Belgian power provider Ecopower as of January 2025.
This application uses Progress OpenEdge. A "Classroom edition" can be download to compile and run. PDSOE (Eclipse) and VSCode project configuration is provided.
Make sure to download the quarter hour data for a period of 1 year from the Fluvius site and reference the file in Main.p.
Adjust Main.p and Settings.cls to your needs, no fancy UI is provided (yet) 🤓
All feedback is welcome!
