Monitoring Energy Flows
Monitoring provides visibility into how energy is produced, consumed, stored, and exchanged. It transforms raw measurements into information that supports understanding, optimisation, and informed decision-making.
Why Monitoring Matters
Without monitoring, an energy installation operates largely blind. Measuring energy flows reveals how the system behaves in real conditions, beyond theoretical expectations or nominal specifications.
Monitoring also makes it possible to detect anomalies, track performance over time, and assess the impact of behavioural or technical changes.
Monitoring Production
Production monitoring focuses on how much energy is generated and under which conditions. It links output to weather, temperature, and system configuration.
Understanding production is the first step towards evaluating efficiency and diagnosing potential losses.
Monitoring Consumption
Consumption monitoring describes how, when, and where energy is used. It highlights daily habits, peak loads, and opportunities for optimisation.
Making consumption visible often leads to changes in behaviour and improved energy use.
Energy Balance
The energy balance compares production and consumption in real time and over longer periods. It reveals how much energy is self-consumed, stored, exported, or imported.
Balance indicators are essential to evaluate autonomy and the effectiveness of an installation.
Storing and Routing Energy
Storage and routing determine what happens to surplus or insufficient energy. Decisions are made continuously based on monitored data, priorities, and constraints.
This step closes the loop between observation and action.
A Continuous Feedback Loop
Monitoring is not a one-time activity but a continuous process. Production, consumption, balance, and storage influence each other dynamically.
Over time, this feedback loop enables progressive optimisation of both technical systems and user behaviour.
