KNX ASHP Control

Insta GmbH’s latest innovation, the AUTARIC KNX Smart Grid Interface, offers a breakthrough solution for energy management. This smart device seamlessly links heat pumps, PV systems, smart meters, and the KNX ecosystem, providing homeowners and businesses with a way to optimize their energy usage.

The interface works by:

  • Gathering energy balance data from PV systems and smart meters via KNX.
  • Using this data to control heat pumps’ operating modes through the standardized “SG Ready” interface.

This intelligent linking allows for maximum energy efficiency, ensuring heat pumps operate at optimal times based on energy availability and demand..

With the growing emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency, SG Ready heat pumps are emerging as a key component of modern energy systems. When combined with the KNX automation standard, these systems offer unparalleled opportunities to optimize energy usage in homes and buildings. This integration provides a smart and efficient way to harness renewable energy, reduce costs, and enhance comfort.

The term SG Ready stands for Smart Grid Ready. Heat pumps labeled as SG Ready are designed to integrate seamlessly into smart energy systems, such as photovoltaic (PV) setups, smart meters, and energy management systems.

Key features of SG Ready heat pumps:

  • Smart Grid Integration: They can receive signals from the grid or energy management systems to adjust their operating modes.
  • Flexible Operation: Depending on energy availability and demand, the heat pump can be programmed to operate when electricity is abundant or cheaper (e.g., during off-peak hours or when solar power is available).
  • Energy Optimization: By prioritizing self-generated renewable energy, SG Ready heat pumps reduce reliance on the grid and lower energy bills.

Benefits of integrating SG Ready heat pumps with KNX:

1. Dynamic Energy Management

  • Real-Time Adjustments: The KNX system evaluates energy data from PV systems and smart meters to determine when the heat pump should operate.
  • Load Balancing: KNX ensures optimal use of available renewable energy, minimizing energy drawn from the grid.

2. Cost Savings

  • By running the heat pump during periods of surplus energy (e.g., sunny days for PV systems or off-peak grid times), homeowners save on electricity costs.
  • Rising energy prices and CO2 costs make this integration even more valuable for long-term savings.

3. Improved Comfort

  • The KNX system can automatically adjust heating and cooling based on occupancy, weather forecasts, or time schedules, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment without wasting energy.

4. Sustainability

  • Combining SG Ready heat pumps with KNX helps reduce carbon footprints by maximizing the use of renewable energy
