Business Parks: Optimized Energy Management for Sustainability and Efficiency
Summary
For business parks, eFuelution offers an integrated software solution to design and manage energy systems. This solution maximizes efficiency, reduces costs, and supports sustainability goals. During the design phase, we determine the optimal size of components such as solar panels, wind turbines, electrolysers and storage systems. After commissioning, the PhoeniX EMS provides real-time optimization, which is adapted to dynamic conditions and the specific energy demand.
Challenge
Business parks have unique energy challenges due to the diverse needs of multiple companies. This includes balancing fluctuating energy demand, managing on-site renewable energy production, and minimizing costs while maintaining reliability. The challenge lies in designing a flexible, sustainable and cost-effective energy system that can meet these diverse requirements.
Solution
Advanced simulations and optimization
Using advanced simulations, we design tailor-made energy systems for business parks, optimizing the size and configuration of all key components. Once the system is operational, the PhoeniX EMS takes control to manage and optimize energy flows in real-time.
- Optimal Dimensions during the Design Phase: Our simulation models analyze energy generation and consumption profiles to determine the ideal size of components such as solar panels, wind turbines, electrolysers and batteries. In doing so, we take into account long-term weather patterns, energy price forecasts, and the specific needs of each company on site.
- Real-Time Optimization with PhoeniX EMS: After commissioning, the PhoeniX EMS acts as the brain of the energy system. The system uses weather forecasts, electricity prices and consumption profiles to make intelligent decisions about energy distribution.
Key features of PhoeniX EMS:
- Prioritizing the use of renewable energy to minimize costs and CO₂ emissions.
- Balancing energy supply and demand by dynamically adjusting storage and generation.
- Managing electricity trading to maximize revenue during peak prices.
- Controlling electrolysers for hydrogen production based on surplus energy and market demand.
Financial Optimization
Our solution ensures that the system is financially sustainable by maximizing revenue opportunities and minimizing operational costs. Whether it concerns the sale of surplus energy, the use of residual energy or the use of subsidies for renewable energy, PhoeniX EMS continuously strives for the most profitable outcomes.
Result
eFuelution’s integrated software solution enables business parks to switch to renewable energy systems while maintaining flexibility and cost efficiency. Thanks to PhoeniX EMS, business parks can:
- Develop optimized energy systems tailored to their unique needs.
- Reduce operational costs through real-time energy management.
- Improve sustainability by prioritizing renewable energy.
Increasing energy security and independence for companies on the site.
