INTEGRATED ENERGY SYSTEM FOR AN AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS
Holistic energy management with electricity, heat and storage integration
A comprehensive energy solution for the intelligent use of renewable resources was implemented for an agricultural business. The focus is on coupling electricity and heat generation, a high-performance electricity storage system and precise control of the heating systems. This enables the business to maximise its own consumption, reduce fossil fuel consumption and increase its energy self-sufficiency.
- Greater efficiency – targeted use of energy from PV, heat pumps and power-to-heat
- Increase self-sufficiency – storage and control boost self-sufficiency
- Implementing sustainability – economically and ecologically sound
By combining PV, storage, heat pumps and intelligent control, this project demonstrates how modern agriculture can be operated efficiently and independently of energy sources.
Our solution: Fully integrated M-TEC energy management system for agricultural use
- Photovoltaics: Integration of existing PV inverters (22 kWp)
- Energy storage: 46 kWh capacity, 18 kW output – for maximum self-consumption
- Heat generation: 3 speed-controlled heat pumps with a total heat output of 54 kW
Efficient energy solution for everyday agricultural use
- Power-to-heat control: Two heating elements, each with 9 kW
- Integration of the existing solar hot water system
- Intelligent control of 7 heating circuits – building, rooms, pool
- Storage of excess heat in heating and domestic hot water buffers heat pumps with a total heat output of 54 kW
- Central control via the M-TEC energy management system
