Frank Energie's smart services automatically steer customers' devices against dynamic prices: Slim Laden charges electric cars at cheap moments, Slim Stroom Handelen charges and discharges home batteries on several energy markets including imbalance, and Slim Terugleveren stops solar feed-in at negative prices. A Frank Energie-sponsored article (December 2023) says the company uses AI to forecast EPEX power prices for the coming days and that its algorithms continuously pick the cheapest charging moment, with the option of shifting charging for balancing or congestion markets. For 'Zelfconsumptie Plus', Frank forecasts each household's consumption and solar output daily and updates the plan within the day from local weather data. Battery owners choose between maximum return and more self-consumption, and can switch services off in the Frank app.
