In this video, we will give you an overview of the Phoenix Contact MINT AI-Enhanced Energy Management.
We will also discuss the hardware and software required to operate the MINT.
Finally, we’ll demonstrate how easily the associated “PLCnext Engineer“ program and associated software are parameterized to suit client Energy Management needs.
MINT is a portfolio of energy management solutions including AI-based software and self-learning technology by Phoenix Contact.
MINT is a self-learning and self-managing energy management solution developed by Phoenix Contact that connects and coordinates all your energy sources and consumers and continuously maintains the balance of the electricity grid.
PLCnext Technology is at the heart of the MINT.
The programming software PLCnext Engineer supports the 5 traditional IEC 61131-3 languages and easily integrates programs created in higher-level languages such as C++, MATLAB, and more.
To enable integration with IoT devices and cloud services, PLCnext Technology supports several communication protocols and standards, including OPC UA, MQTT, RESTful APIs, and others.
We will show an example where MINT effectively manages energy for a commercial EV charging station, optimizing solar power and load balancing.
The system's brain is the PLCnext Engineer programming software and the muscle is the AXC F 2152 controller.
The AXC F 2152 controller runs with an EMS app, a ready-to-use solution providing load management functions for system integrator programming. This solution allows you to operate your charging park, building, or property safely, reliably, and economically.
As with most PLCnext apps, the “EMS.Core” PLCnext App can easily be installed via the web-based management of the PLCnext AXC F 2152 controller.
The “EMS.Core” app allows the implementation of individual energy management systems (EMS) for the manufacturer-independent control of several loads and generators.
The MINT EMS can provide on-premise Smart control of Energy flows providing many more basic features such as:
- Dynamic Load Management
- Manufacturer-independent interfaces
- Charging/discharging management of storage devices
- Optimized use of existing infrastructure
- Support for any number of assets
Looking at the big picture, PLCnext Engineer together with the Energy Management and Solarworx apps manages the EV Chargers based on information from the consumer data provided in the Facility Description XML File.
But, if you want, MINT can do even more.
The MINT incorporates AI via a PLCnext App to best utilize the solar potential. This AI functionality also plans and executes EV Charging Station energy shifting based on prediction, generation, consumption, and EV charging behavior.
The EMS.Cloud.Optimizer is a powerful tool providing features such as:
- Peak Shaving where the system learns load curves to adjust individual station energy flow.
- Optimized Charging to adjust charging accordingly based on the EV charging behavior and weather forecasts.
- Dynamic pricing based on the prediction of spot market prices, controllable consumers, and optimized charging processes.
- Battery storage and discharge optimization during high price times
System integrators can take advantage of the built-in HMI feature of PLCnext engineer to develop their own customized HMI or use an HMI template provided.
