The electricity grid of the future needs to be smart to react to the currently changing production landscape caused by increasing generation of renewable energy at customer sites and the increased energy demands, driven by technological evolvement in consumer technology, e.g., heat pumps or electric vehicles. This paper tries to provide insights into first results of a work in progress creating a customer energy management system that utilizes the benefit of novel switchable breakers for customers and offers independent system operators, or distribution grid operators, some local intelligence which they can influence and use as predictable resources in their forecasts. These demand side management capabilities are only the first use cases under consideration.
