Variable network rates

[JeroenSt]

In the Netherlands from 2028 variable network rates are planed, is Victron planning to support these in DESS?

If that is the same “variable” as it is in Germany (just based on day time), you can already do that with “fluctuating formulas”, see here:

Time-variable grid fees ("hourly peak shaving"?)

Status on that is actually: It is already done: [image] You can set up different price-equations based on different times. For example, here, that would be 9.24 (instead of 15.69ct) Grid fees from 10 to 14: [image] We are already running evaluations for different strategies for this kind of tarrifs. (And checking if DESS would be a suitable tool to handle this) As to my understanding, the “key” would be to keep the accumulated grid-pull per hour to a “minimum” to keep that fees low, ri…

If it’s really about day-to-day differences, then there would need to be a API-Endpoint delivering that rates.
