Optimized power supply & use of renewable energies
CO2-neutral production is only possible with an energy supply based on renewable energies. The current share of around 20 percent is set to increase further in the future to ensure that the energy transition to a CO2-free energy supply succeeds.
The electricity market offers market participants particular opportunities here, as exchange prices fluctuate greatly against the backdrop of rising electricity volumes from wind and photovoltaics (PV). At times they are even negative – so a consumer receives money when purchasing electricity. Based on EnEffCo®, ÖKOTEC enables you to exploit these savings potentials through digital flexible energy management.
We synchronize the supply of renewable energies with production-related electricity demand
In order to become part of the energy transition, consumers must become increasingly active in the procurement of electricity and adapt to changing market situations. Industrial power generation plants and storage facilities in particular can be used flexibly and adapted to market requirements.
The volatility of renewable electricity generation requires balancing via the electricity market, either through plannable flexible systems on the generation side or on the consumer side. We enable industry and commerce to plan production and efficient energy requirements and offer flexibility where it is available and needed at the right time, while continuously taking all production-relevant framework conditions into account.
Energy suppliers need planning security and industrial and commercial enterprises want the lowest possible electricity prices. We reconcile these two needs by enabling industry and commerce to offer flexibility, i.e. to adapt their production and also their own electricity generation to the needs of the electricity market. This can reduce electricity costs.
Head of Energy Markets
„We enable industry and commerce to integrate into the electricity market and offer their flexibility in self-generation and self-consumption. This saves them electricity costs and stabilizes the power supply system at the same time.“
Our offer
With our EnEffCo® Energy efficiency monitoring software, it is possible to monitor and forecast energy and process data and set target values for optimal operational management. The aim is to shift electricity consumption from times with high electricity prices to times with low or even negative prices. This is achieved by combining storage, self-generation systems and the flexibility of selected consumers. In this way, production can be planned and flexibly designed in terms of energy and adapted to changing framework conditions. We support our customers in connecting to the electricity markets as well as energy suppliers and marketing service providers in integrating flexibility potential into energy management processes.
In concrete terms, this means that we optimize the operation of your systems using algorithms and setpoints. Communication with the energy supplier provides clarity on how the system deployment must be planned and implemented. We also provide relevant market and weather data, which is incorporated into the modeling and decision-making process.
Jack Link’s identified automated control of the CHPs, taking into account the market situation, as a significant potential for improvement. Against this backdrop, ÖKOTEC investigated the forecasting and evaluation of flexibility in plant deployment.
Peak load management cooling supply
The cooling requirements and system efficiency of refrigeration are weather-dependent and cause peak loads. In addition to the use of EnEffCo® as controlling software in accordance with ISO 50001, our flexible energy management reduces peak loads in refrigeration.
Development of an intelligent charging infrastructure
Berliner Stadtreinigung (BSR) was looking for a technological solution to set up a future-oriented and cost-optimized charging infrastructure for its fleet of e-vehicles, which is currently being built up, while taking into account all of the fleet’s usage requirements. BSR used EnEffCo® flexible energy management to implement flexible charging for its e-vehicle fleet.
Team Leader EnEffCo® Software Architecture
„Flexible electricity tariffs help to reduce the costs of an overall system that is heavily based on renewable energies. This ultimately helps electricity customers and therefore also industrial companies.“
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®.
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.
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®.
