Expansion planning:
Optimised planning with software tools from ifesca
The share of renewable energies in the energy supply is steadily growing. Carefully optimised expansion planning is a must to meet the increasing requirements for sustainability and ensure a secured power supply while operating cost-effectively.
An optimally sized plant enables effective use of sustainably generated electricity, while also aiming to minimise operating and investment costs. This involves taking the operator’s entire energy system into account, as well as compliance with all technical and economic constraints.
ifesca is your strong partner in software-supported expansion planning. Our innovative software ifesca.ENERGY® supports you in efficient plant planning with accurate analyses of the underlying data.
Efficient expansion planning with ifesca.ENERGY®
To optimise the sizing of your plants, we use careful mathematical optimisation that stores all important factors and restrictions in a digital twin of your energy system.
Based on this model, ifesca.ENERGY® can find the most cost-effective option for plant sizing – i.e. the optimal plant size at minimum cost. This ensures efficient use of all resources and compliance with your operator-specific requirements. Thanks to ifesca.ENERGY®, an economically optimised, individual energy supply for your company is no problem.
Who benefits from expansion planning?
Not only are energy prices rising, but the requirements for energy producers are steadily increasing – making well-planned plant sizing all the more important. Commercial and industrial players benefit from the analyses and forecasts provided by ifesca.ENERGY® when making investment decisions. In the planning sector, ifesca.ENERGY® helps energy consultants as well as engineering and planning offices develop sensible solutions for planned projects.
Our forward-thinking software solutions support you in optimising plant layout, considering the best possible operating mode for the entire energy system.
What is important in expansion planning?
For successful and reliable energy production, thoughtful plant planning is essential. By considering operating times and other factors, downtimes can be minimised and bottlenecks avoided. Operational factors such as operating hours or maintenance also influence the planning of the most economical plant design.
A careful approach is required to successfully plan and implement these factors. With ifesca as your partner in digital energy management, a software-supported, data-based solution is no longer a wish for the future. Contact us to discuss our products and discover the solutions we offer for your sustainable energy management.
What are the benefits of software-supported expansion planning?
Software-supported expansion planning takes into account the relevant restrictions and opportunities for you. We deliver an optimal plant size and energy market options for a minimal-cost energy supply to meet your needs, based on the algorithms used.
ifesca.ENERGY® provides the following for expansion planning:
- Mathematical optimisation instead of simple simulation calculations
- Consideration of multiple plants simultaneously
- Calculation of the optimal operating mode for all plants
- Consideration of specific consumption and generation profiles
- Availability of high-quality forecasts in the same system
- Optimisation of production processes and controllable consumers with existing flexibilities
- Visualisation of the generated results
- And much more
