About Energy Optima 3
All modules are standard software and the modular structure allows Energy Opticon to deliver individual solutions according to the specific customer’s demands. This means that each part of the program works, and can be purchased separately, without any limitation on communication between the modules. Access to modules and functions are controlled via users and password.
A safe and successful future for at least the next 10-15 years.
The software has been in operation at customer’s sites (in different releases) since 1992. By continuous development and innovation in .NET Framework, with the input from our customers,
we deliver cutting edge solutions to energy companies and industries.
Energy Optima 3 can either be installed at the customer’s site (on-premise) in collaboration with our IT team and the customer’s IT team, or hosted on our Private Cloud. The customers have their own, educated super users of the software and get help with service, support and special modelling from our dedicated energy technicians.
Energy Optima 3 is a modular decision support software for:
- Economic and sustainable total optimization of integrated energy systems
- Accurate load and price forecasts
- Trading on the energy market (eg. electricity and gas)
- Long-term investment planning
User Benefits with Energy Optima 3
Without computer optimized tools for the energy production, it is very difficult to always operate economically optimal. In order to minimize production costs, a mathematical model of the energy system is needed. It is very difficult to combine continuous and binary variables in minimizing costs, and the human factor increases risks for errors.
Management & Production Planners
The variable production costs can usually be reduced by 5-15%.
- Reduce costs and increase profits: By using Energy Optima 3, the variable production costs can usually be reduced by 5-15%. At the same time, with optimization of the energy trading, the profit is also maximized. This could mean hundred thousands of EUR each year.
- Transparency and decision-support: By using a tested and trimmed system for production optimizations, the management can rely on the quality of the planning. It is all clear which parameters, limitations, contracts and other influencing factors are taken into consideration. Energy Optima 3’s production plans are used for unit steering, trading, planning and evaluations. The planner has transparent and qualitative information to make decisions from the intraday trading up to long term project evaluations (return of investment).
- Easy reporting: Energy Optima 3 provides a wide range of possibilities to present data and to keep information flowing. The management is informed with individual reports including main information or key indicators. The follow-up can be used to motivate staff by increasing key indicators.
- Save time: Through less manual work with complex calculations, you can free up time for other important tasks. You get a fast and user-friendly view over differences between actual and optimal operation, to evaluate the quality of the operation and analyze which optimization potential is left.
- Easy short- and long-term planning: Optimal production plans for each unit in the entire energy system, including sector-coupling, optimal participation on all types of trading markets, evaluation of long-term strategies and new investments.
Energy Trading
Trading and production are strongly correlated. Calculating production plans is depending on trading possibilities as well as the trading portfolio is depending on the production amounts. A close work relation between the production planning and the trading processes is key factor for a successful business in all departments.
- Common basis for decisions: Energy Optima 3 delivers results for each department in energy companies and is common base for the traders and the production planners. Trading volumes are optimized at the same time as production plan considering all influencing market prices and unit limitations/factors.
- Modelling and optimization of all trading markets: Such as Spot Day-ahead, Block-bids, Spot Intraday and Ancillary Service Markets (FCR, aFRR, mFRR etc.)
- Confirmation of production plans and trading volumes: The results from Energy Optima 3 can or must be confirmed. By confirmation the system keeps information for later optimizations and it is sent out automatically in the required formats.
- Automatic Intraday Trading: Optimized production plans can be fed directly into the algo-trader programs for automatic AI trading on the Energy Trading Market.
Operational Level
- Decision support: Energy Optima 3 delivers results for an optimal operation of units
- Explanation: Energy Optima 3 allows quick analyses to explain production plans
- Economic awareness and insight: Raise the awareness of production economy among the staff, in all aspects of the operation of the plant. The system can be used to challenge “old ways” of operating, strengthen new ways of thinking and give insight to different factors that affect the economy in the energy production.
Focus on user needs
User friendliness & cutting-edge technology
Energy Optima 3 is continuously being developed for increased customer success and user-friendliness, together with the users of our software. It is a well-modeled and mature system, reflecting reality in a comfortable and logical environment, with smart data views (with multi-functionality graphs and tables), dashboards, availability calendars and easy reporting. It is fast and easy to work with and to set into practical operation.
User-friendliness and user experience is important in order for an optimization program to be used in plant operation.
Every year, we have a User Group Meeting, where we present new development and where our customers get to prioritize the coming development of Energy Optima 3. In this way, we always keep up-to-date with the actual needs of the market.
Energy Optima 3 is a very modern product of the latest technology in its field. It benefits great features like:
- Among the world’s fastest high-speed optimizations also for long-term simulations, enabling an efficient and accurate energy transition planning.
- The Topology Editor – a highly advanced “Digital Twin”, a graphical program for energy system modelling.
- Dashboard – fast overview of the production system with measurements, forecasts and optimized values in graphs, tables and KPI:s, adapted for different types of users.
- Availability calendar – a user-friendly view over the availability of units, with direct connection to optimizations.
- Advanced economic follow-up – analysis of economic deviations between actual and optimal operation.
- Business Intelligence with advanced functions for specially designed reports and for standardized import/export interfaces and API:s.
- Trading markets modelling and multi-market optimization: Modelling and optimization of different trading markets, including price forecasts. Together with partners, we also offer automatic trading activiation.
