Key takeaways:
FEMS visualizes and controls storage systems, inverters, heat pumps, and EV chargers for efficient operation
The modular structure enables flexible deployment and adaptation to changing regulations
An open-source platform with lifetime updates supports live and historical data monitoring without subscription costs
Energy management solutions are gaining popularity with increasing installations of residential and commercial PV and storage. Features such as optimizing energy consumption based on power generation hours are a common solution being offered by several energy management systems. One such solution, the FENECON Energy Management System (FEMS), won The smarter E AWARD 2025 under the Smart Integrated Energy category.
FENECON GmbH, the company behind FEMS, has been involved in developing solutions for the efficient use of energy, as well as the generation and storage of electricity. This platform visualizes and controls battery storage systems, inverters, heat pumps, and EV charging stations for efficient and grid-friendly operation. Like several other energy management solutions, FEMS also predicts energy patterns and optimizes charging and discharging schedules accordingly. The system features a modular structure, which helps enable quick deployment and adaptation to changes in regulations, according to the company.
The software is open-source and features lifetime updates depending on the deployed service. The company’s website lists several FEMS apps covering different services. The app is accessible via a browser or through installation on iOS and Android platforms, without requiring a subscription. A one-time purchase of app extensions is optional and comes with free updates. It also provides live and locally stored historical data.
