Understand the energy flow in your company
With our topology configurator, you can easily create electrical and organizational (virtual) topologies in our energy management system.
- Switch to the new topology editor in the settings.
- Use "Add new topology" to create a new topology and give it a name. The new topology creates a first measuring point "New measuring point". You now have the choice of creating an electrical topology or an organizational topology.
- Creating an electrical topology: In an electrical topology, you only create sub-nodes that actually exist as physical metering points (electricity meters) in your company. Assign an existing electricity meter to each node. In a fully measured electrical topology, active and reactive energy flows are displayed bidirectionally. Losses and reactive current compensation systems are calculated and added automatically.
- Mapping an electrical busbar: Create a sub-node and assign more than one physical measuring point to it. In this way, you can combine several parallel transformers on one busbar and monitor the load of the transformers in the energy flow diagram (Sankey).
- Organizational topology: Create nodes and do not assign a physical measuring point to them. In this way, you can display building structures or energy consumption per department. However, you should add a physical measuring point at the lowest level. In this configuration, the consumptions add upwards.
The result
A perfect Sankey diagram with active and reactive power, as well as energy input and output in both directions. If you have a combined heat and power unit or a solar system, you can determine how much energy you consume yourself and how much is fed back into the grid.
