Overview of the Fuzz Energy platform
Fuzz Energy is an open platform designed to connect, monitor, and control electrical equipment including charging stations, photovoltaics, batteries, and meters. It acts as an intelligent layer between on-site equipment and the energy market, utilizing a combination of a local on-site controller and a cloud platform to ensure stability, advanced supervision, and energy optimization.Understand the Fuzz system architecture
Fuzz uses a three-part architecture to manage energy distribution without requiring hardware replacement:
- Local Controller: A DIN rail industrial computer installed on-site that connects to equipment (OCPP charge points, Modbus meters, inverters, batteries) and manages power distribution in real-time. It operates independently of internet connectivity to ensure installation protection.
- Cloud Platform: A secure outbound encrypted connection that centralizes multi-site configuration, energy data history, proactive supervision, and remote maintenance.
- Web Console: A browser-based interface (console.fuzz.energy) for real-time dashboards, electrical topology visualization, data analysis, and user management.
Monitor energy flows with the Multi-energy dashboard
The Multi-energy dashboard provides a summary view of all sites and energy flows, allowing users to track overall and detailed electricity consumption, photovoltaic production, battery charge/discharge cycles, and vehicle charging activity.Understand Fuzz smart charging real-time power distribution
Fuzz smart charging is a real-time engine that runs locally on a site's controller to distribute available power across charge points without exceeding grid connection limits. Every second, the engine performs a four-step cycle: 1) Measures actual currents on each phase, 2) Computes available power within connection limits, 3) Distributes power based on configured rules, and 4) Sends setpoints to charge points instantly.Monitor energy consumption and production with the Mesurer pack
The Mesurer pack provides real-time visibility into energy usage across multiple sites and equipment. It allows users to track global and detailed electrical consumption, photovoltaic production, battery charge/discharge cycles, and electric vehicle charging activity.Understand Smart Charging and the Rule Engine
Smart Charging is a real-time algorithm that dynamically distributes available power among Charge Points to prevent overloads. It considers electrical topology, meter current measurements, photovoltaic and battery production, and consumption limits. The Rule Engine implements this logic, executing rules in a specific order to calculate available current, manage rebalancing, and apply production strategies.Choose a management method for Smappee charge points
Smappee charge points can be managed using one of two methods:
- OCPP: Configured via the Smappee Dashboard.
- Modbus: Requires the installation of a Smappee Genius Flex device.
Understand how Fuzz smart charging manages power distribution
Fuzz smart charging is a real-time engine running on a local site controller. It prevents electrical connection overloads by performing a four-step cycle every second: measuring actual currents on each phase, calculating available power within connection limits, distributing power based on configured rules, and sending instant commands to charging stations.Plan energy decisions with 24-hour forecasting
Fuzz utilizes 24-hour forecasts for both energy consumption and production, combined with market price predictions, to plan optimal charging and discharging decisions before they are required.
