Flexible heat integration with dynamic pinch analysis
The food industry requires a lot of heat and cold. The aim of the Food Pinch research project is to use heat and cold more efficiently and to put waste heat flows to further use. Researchers are developing and testing a dynamic pinch analysis for this purpose.
Interview on the 10th anniversary of EnEffCo®
EnEffCo®, our software solution for Energy efficiency monitoring, is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Launched as a research and development project, EnEffCo® is one of the best software solutions available on the market.
Efficiency monitoring with energy performance indicators
Efficiency monitoring provides precise information for supply technologies and production processes. In the whitepaper you will learn how to set up or optimize energy efficiency monitoring with suitable performance indicators.
Why energy monitoring is worthwhile
Whether mandatory or voluntary, energy monitoring is worthwhile for companies that want or need to save energy. But the systematic recording and evaluation of energy consumption has a whole range of other advantages.
Digital solutions for energy transition & climate protection
At the E-world trade fair in Essen, Germany – the industry meeting place for the energy scene – we will make the hearts of ambitious energy managers beat faster. We present innovative and diverse application possibilities with EnEffCo®.
Reducing energy costs with flexible energy management
Arne Grein, expert for energy markets, shares his assessment of the current situation and gives tips that companies should consider for future-relevant decisions in order to reduce energy costs and increase security of supply at the site.
EnEffNet – Digital networking platform for efficiency solutions
ÖKOTEC and Fraunhofer IPK are developing a high-performance digital networking platform to implement innovative efficiency approaches in companies within the new research and development project “EnEffNet”.
Responding to the energy crisis and pursuing climate neutrality
Responding to the energy crisis and pursuing climate neutrality were the focus of this year’s EnEffCo® Academy. For the eighth time, users of our energy efficiency controlling software met to learn about innovations and to share best practices.
Veolia Germany publishes Sustainability Report
In May of this year, Veolia Germany published its Sustainability Report 2021, providing comprehensive information on its goals and measures that contribute to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as the progress made to date.
Rising gas prices – Making use of waste heat in industry
In the Food Pinch R&D project, we are developing innovative processes to significantly reduce the energy consumption of heating and cooling supply systems in industrial plants and leverage potential savings.
New guide – Reduction of CO2 emissions in the plastics industry
Offering practical guidance, examples and tips for suitable measures to systematically increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions are the focus of the new guide for the plastics processing industry.
Intelligent load management for e-vehicle fleets
Charging electric vehicles in an uncoordinated manner can lead to peak electricity consumption and thus high costs – especially for companies and fleet operators. The solution: Intelligent load management.
New Major Release of ÖKOTEC Software EnEffCo®
In addition to the Sankey visualization, the new major release includes a number of highlights such as the heatmap as a new chart type, deep links at asset level in reports and the introduction of an approval process by a selected user for reports.
Pinch analysis: “We want to make the static method dynamic”
ÖKOTEC experts Knut Grabowski and Georg Ratjen explain what is meant by a pinch analysis and how they are developing it further in the current R&D project Food Pinch in an interview with the trade magazine DLG.
CO2 footprint for all products in real time
A new method makes it possible for the first time to determine a specific CO2 footprint for all manufactured products in real time. This is made possible by an extension for digitalized energy management.
Food Pinch: Energy saving through dynamic pinch control
ÖKOTEC Energiemangement and RWTH Aachen LTT university are developing solutions in the Food Pinch research and development project to intelligently connect heat sources and heat sinks in the food industry.
Automotive manufacturer focuses on resource conservation
EnEffCo® has been awarded the contract by the BMW Group for the digitalization of energy management. The software for energy efficiency controlling will be successively deployed at 16 locations worldwide to continuously reduce energy and water consumption.
Intelligent and automatic plant control with EnEffReg
Our EnEffReg research project has confirmed: Intelligent and automatic plant control with EnEffReg is possible. The software-based system continuously monitors plants for energy efficiency. Learn more in our short film.
Daimler relies on EnEffCo® for energy management
At the end of 2018, Daimler began rolling out EnEffCo® in more than 15 plants worldwide. The rollout will initially focus on Europe, with several hundred thousandlicense data points to be connected worldwide.
ÖKOTEC implements intelligent vehicle loading at BSR
BSR in Berlin charges its vehicles mainly at times of low electricity prices on the stock exchange – intelligent, flexible vehicle charging makes this possible. In addition, peak load management has been introduced.
EnEffReg® – Innovative and automatic system control
The software solution for energy efficiency controlling EnEffCo® developed by ÖKOTEC creates an important basic prerequisite for companies to analyze, optimize and control their energy consumption and the efficiency of their plants.
What is energy efficiency and how is it measured?
We developed a methodology to achieve the central goals of monitoring and evaluating systems. Companies are thus able to actually monitor and realistically evaluate the efficiency of their energy use.
