Optimize Your Production Plans
Unlock Immediate Reductions in Costs and CO₂ Emissions
Discover how Energy Optima 3 can enhance your energy efficiency and deliver substantial cost reductions in the short term.
Short-Term Optimization Strategies
The Energy Optima 3 Production Optimization module enables a detailed and exact modelling of any type of energy system and production units, using a user-friendly graphical editor (“Digital Twin”). By combining the model with fuel and trading contracts, load and price forecasts and inserting technical and economic input data directly into the graphical editor, exact production plans can be calculated in a minimum of time.
The production plans provide information, such as:
- Optimal load
- Optimal start and stop of units
- Optimal forward temperature
- Optimal participation on trading
markets - Available consumer flexibility
(optional)
Energy Optima 3 Production Optimization Module offers:
- Economic and environmental total optimization of energy systems (short- and long-term planning), both in terms of economy and environment
- Optimization of the forward temperature in the heat network
- Flexibility solutions, such as platform for consumer flexibility
- Automatic scenario calculations using a Work-Flow-Engine
- Simultaneous optimization of production plans and contracts
- Support for all types of trading markets, confirmation of production plans and trading volumes
- Visualization and follow-up solutions for the production planner, trader, management and control room
Optimizing all types of energy producing units
Total optimization of integrated energy systems
Energy Opticon offers a user-friendly and market-leading software for decision support for production planning, Energy Optima 3, for energy companies and industries. The system automatically calculates how facilities shall be operated to minimize costs and maximize revenue.
Energy Optima 3 works with total optimization, meaning that the electricity and the district heating/cooling production is optimized simultaneosly with focus on economy and environment, a necessity for production companies working with cogeneration.
For customers with electricity producing units, such as heat pumps, electric boilers, batteries and hydrogen systems, we also model tradig markets such as Day-ahead, Block-bids, Intraday and Ancillary Markets.
IMPORTANT FEATURES FOR SHORT-TERM PLANNING
In addition to total optimization of energy production, we offer functionality to optimize the forward temperature in the heat network, using our innovation Smart Optima Heat Network (SOHN).
An important thing for many of our customers is having a flexible, sustainable and robust energy system, so we have developed different types of Flexibility Solutions, such as Consumer Flexibility.
We also co-optimize energy companies in different cities with connected heat networks in so called Regionalisation.
Energy Optima 3 also focuses on the needs of traders working with the current market demands under a constantly rising time pressure. We offer electricity price forecasts and model all types of trading markets in the Energy Trading Module. , such as Day-ahead (including Block-bids), Intraday and Ancillary Trading Markets (such as FCR, mFRR and aFRR).
LARGE ECONOMIC GAINS AND REDUCED CO₂ EMISSIONS
With the current conditions in the electricity markets, and with the possibilities to also optimize the district heating network, the savings – and thus revenue – could be even higher.
Lower variable production costs by
5-15% annually using Energy Optima 3.
Moreover, it is today a mere necessity of this type of software tools in order to act successfully on the electricity market, since the changes happen too quickly in order to be able to figure out the production plans manually or base the plans on simple rules of thumb.
Independent studies have shown that with computer-optimized production plans, it is possible to lower variable production costs by 2-10% per year. Meanwhile, economical studies among our customers have shown a lower production cost by 5-15% per year using Energy Optima 3.
All types of facilities
Energy Opticon’s many years of branch experience enables modeling of all types of production facilities and all kinds of combinations of these. This is made possible through a topology editor (“Digital Twin”) that allows customers to model and make changes in its power plant fleet. The customer can also change load forecasts, various contracts for fuel and more.
All types of special conditions and constraints can be handled either in the software itself or with special programming.
Optimization calculations
The optimization horizon (how far ahead the optimization extends) is flexible and can be freely adjusted by the user. Optimizations can be started, for example, once per hour, but this can also be chosen by the user. A work flow engine can automate different optimization scenario calculations with, for example, different electricity prices and heat consumption.
All optimization results are saved in a database and can be transferred for further analysis.
Short-term and long-term optimization
The standard module for optimal production plans calculates with time horizons from 1 hour up to a month ahead of time (short-term optimization). With long-term optimization, optimization for up to a year is made possible. With year time horizon, calculations for fuel and audit planning, CO₂ quotas, investment in new or modified units in the energy system, taxes that are based on long-term quotas etc. are made possible.
