This prevents overloading of the island operation and maximizes the duration of the backup function.

Peak load control: The integrated energy meters allow Loxone to control peak loads. If consumption is too high, secondary prioritized loads are dynamically shed, which helps prevent overloads and ensures continuous operation of the hotel.

Reliability and flexibility: Loxone is known for its reliability and flexibility. The system can be adapted to the specific needs of the hotel and can prioritize and control different loads to ensure optimal energy consumption.

Easy management and control: Loxone offers a user-friendly interface that allows easy management and control of the entire energy system. This reduces the workload for hotel staff and ensures that energy management runs efficiently and smoothly.

Thanks to these features, Loxone was the right product to solve the energy problems of the King Fisher Village hotel and ensure reliable and efficient operation."

Challenge

In the African Cape Verde Islands, more specifically on the island of Santiago, we had the opportunity to solve an energy problem for the King Fisher Village hotel. The challenges consisted of regular power outages due to an unstable grid supply and too high a peak load during full operation, which repeatedly paralyzed the hotel.

Solution

Our approach was to solve the problem in combination with the Loxone system, together with Studer Innotec, which sells an inverter with a backup function.

In the event of a power failure from the grid, the Studer inverter switches seamlessly to island operation. The Loxone system is immediately informed of the switchover and switches off second priority loads in order to not overload island operation and to maintain the duration of the backup function for as long as possible. Loxone also controls the peak load: the integrated energy meters allow second priority loads to be dynamically switched off if consumption is too high.
