Electrolyser Production Rate Control in Rule Engine

What We Control?

We want to set production rate to 60% in the evening. We want to automate this.

Objective of Automation

Decrease electrolyser power demand in the evening to avoid overload.

Requirements

At least one electrolyser is needed.

Rule

local electrolysers = {
    'D4416F63D6F029A6D88855F157E01CB9',
    '4D6DC302EA88E381A56C15A450F3EDFA',
}

function main()
  if time.is_now_between('17:00', '19:00', TIMEZONE) then
      set_production_rate_low(electrolysers)
  else
      set_production_rate_high(electrolysers)
  end
end

function set_production_rate_low(els)
  for _, id in pairs(els) do
      local el = enapter.device(id)
      if el then
        enapter.log("Setting 60% production rate for electrolyser: " .. el.id)
        el.commands.execute("set_production_rate", { value = 60 })
      else
        enapter.log("Electrolyser `" .. id .. "` not found", "error")
      end
  end
end

function set_production_rate_high(els)
  for _, id in pairs(els) do
    local el = enapter.device(id)
    if el then
      enapter.log("Setting 100% production rate for electrolyser: " .. el.id)
      el.commands.execute("set_production_rate", { value = 100 })
    else
      enapter.log("Electrolyser `" .. id .. "` not found", "error")
    end
