[Kitch.Heating] Is this a workable way to reduce MaxPower in my house ?

To be able to help you , maybe it can be explained a bit more what is what and what do you want to achieve?

Hi @_OE_9 Knut, the simple answer is NO. But first let me ask, why you want to keep your MaxPower below 5 kW? Then to be sure, that your current power does not exceed 5kW, you must ensure that there are onlys consumers (washing machine, dishwasher, hairdryer, hot water boiler, heating, oven, coff…

The reason for this try is: I have 2 pay GridRent Fixed Link Level Step 2 is 190NOK/Month ((2-5kWh/h /month)3 highest kWh/h)) Fixed Link Level Step 3 is 305NOK/Month ((5-10kWh/h)) which is +60.53% Thats the reason 4 not 2 use over 5kWh/h House is heated with Electric Panel Heaters so if my Hot…

I think posible in avance flow. You must make at first make a swich matrix with all load’s of equipement. Then you must have in every power lines to the above mentioned device a smart-switch (best with power metring) Then make with the above matrix, waht can be switched off if somthing starts (he…

Must not confuse 5kW and above 5kWh. Your solution will in fact reduce the momentary consumption, but accumelated is the issue. In my experience, it is better to focuse on loads that are heavy over time. The boiler is definetly one of them. If you have heating ovens, you can decrease the temperature…

There might be easier way to do this. [image] The total power is the total measured power of the household electrical inlet, or any other measurement you want to use. And if this makes the thermostat relay to operate too often then you should add some timers to make some delays to change the tem…

I tried that #peltsi51#…Whats happening is that in worste case my panel_heaters turn off (setting down wantet temperature… my heaters are on or off) then 5000W becomes 3000 watt …so after a few seconds they will turn on again… so the relays turn off/on every 10 seconds…but I have tryed my way a few…

Thats why you have to have some hysteresis between the power limits as I made in the example. 5000W off limit and 2000W on limit if you have a 2000W heater. Good to hear that your way works. As always there are numerous possibilities to make something work. :+1:

Just my idea: I would calculate the remaining energy to fill the 5 kWh per hour and how much power you may consume (constantly) in the remaining time. Thus, if you did not spent very much energy in the first half of the hour, you can consume much more than 5kW in the remaining time. And if - in spi…
