New methods for identifying influencing parameters, physics-based models, and a semi-automated diagnosis of excess energy consumption now enable more systematic monitoring, diagnosis, and benchmarking of systems—and, for the first time, also allow for the energy optimization of networked systems.
The key to the transition to electric mobility lies in the intelligent management of energy flows, load limits, and charging schedules—and in the seamless interaction of the underlying systems.
The energy transition is fundamentally reshaping the entire energy supply. This directly impacts you as an industrial consumer: you can actively participate in the energy market and significantly reduce your own electricity costs.
This year’s EnEffCo® Academy provided an exclusive platform for managing directors and energy managers to gain in-depth insights into the latest developments and research projects in the field of energy efficiency and digitalization.
EnEffCo® connects systems and processes for smart operations. In this interview, Dr. Hans Rüdiger Lange explains how companies can leverage AI and digital solutions to realize savings potential and strengthen their competitiveness.
A highlight for ÖKOTEC every year: the user conference for our EnEffCo® software. Users from industrial and commercial enterprises, experts from ÖKOTEC and partner companies come together for this event once a year.
For the ninth time, around 60 people from industrial and commercial companies, experts from ÖKOTEC and partner companies met at the annual user conference for our Energy efficiency monitoring software, EnEffCo®.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
