Peeeks platform manages the swarm of home batteries owned by LichtBlick customers under the product brand SchwarmBatterie®. Our energy management systems connects individual batteries into one swarm and forms a virtual power plant (VPP), which can be used for primary control reserve (PCR). Furthermore, the Peeeks controller increases PV self-consumption; heat pumps are also controlled by the energy management system. The total solution consisting of PV, battery and LichtBlick electricity contract is distributed together with installation partners in Germany.

Eneco started the commercial rollout with Tesla Powerwall in September 2016. After a very successful start, the offering for PV-owners and prospective PV-owners was complemented with LG Chem high voltage batteries.
Peeeks controller increases PV self-consumption. Furthermore, users of those connected batteries are paid between 400 to 500 Euros for their contribution to grid stability every year. Eneco benefits from the participation in the ancillary services markets and from a long-term customer loyalty.

Peeeks developed a smart electric boiler module in cooperation with Eneco Installatiebedrijven, TWTG, and T-systems. This module allows remote steering and monitoring of hot water boilers. Unlike traditional models that pre-heat at night, the smart e-boilers heat just-in-time for the customer’s warm water consumption. This reduces radiant heat losses and results in energy cost savings. Furthermore, the electric boiler module connects to Peeeks' platform via GSM and can be turned on when there is a surplus of wind- or solar power. Thanks to our solution, Eneco Energy Trading can directly use the boiler fleet to help balance the electric infrastructure – while improving the customer's comfort levels.

Eneco aims to better align the district heating network and assets with customers' heat demand in order to increase customers' comfort while giving them more insight into their consumption. Peeeks delivers and monitors the district heating unit and displays its consumption data in the smart thermostat Toon®. The cloud-connected controller of Peeeks manages the flow of heat and exchanges data with the smart thermostat to pre-heat a customer's home based on the heating profile of that customer.

In a research project between Audi and the Technical University of Ingolstadt, households in Germany and Switzerland got an electric car (Audi e-tron), solar system, battery storage and heat pump for one and a half years. Peeeks supplied the energy management system (EMS) for the control of all components. Our intelligent charging strategies have been proven to reduce the local grid load induced by electric car charging in the early evening hours. The battery storage system and heat pump surplus management overall maximised PV self-consumption. In addition to the extensive data analysis, the focus was also on the emotions: a fully sustainable driving experience thanks to mostly self-produced e-mobility.
