Increase transparency and make reporting easy

Import/Export of Data

Advanced import of data and reporting with Business Intelligence is an important feature in Energy Optima 3. The concept consists of two parts:

Individual visualization of data from the Energy Optima 3 system. Energy Optima 3 users can set up own reports showing the information of interest in a personally configured format.

It is also commonly used for showing follow-up data, such as economic follow up and forecast follow-up.

Simulations

An important function is the access to simulation databases. A simulation database is a separate database besides the normal “sharp” database.

The simulation database is used for making own scenarios for weather and load forecasts in order to evaluate how these variations influence the result of the calculations. It can also be used for making evaluations of the economical results of changes in the energy system.

The simulation database is ideal for running long-term optimizations with different scenarios, making investment analysis and evaluating changes to the system.

Workflow Engine

The Workflow Engine is a powerful software tool for automation of work tasks in Energy Optima 3. With the Workflow Engine it possible to create automated work tasks. Typical examples could be electricity price and district heating forecast scenarios.

Benefits are:

• Automized procedures and more efficient work routines.
• Run parallell optimizations.
• Less manual inputs and changes, fewer human errors.
• Safe changes of input data.
• Support control room staff to take the right decision with several scenario results.

The Workflow Engine is divided into two parts:

• The Flow Studio, where workflows are created and editable in an easy and fast way.
• The Workflow Client, where the workflows are executed and controlled.
