Unlock the value of your distributed energy resources

The disruption of the energy landscape is bringing additional challenges to almost all areas of the industry:
  • Industrial enterprises
  • Utilities and power providers
  • Whole districts/areas, cities and municipalities

As power networks increasingly depend on renewables and distributed energy systems, controlling and optimizing those systems - reliably and profitably - is now a priority. Balancing electrical grid and on-site consumption based on energy demand is especially challenging when your energy sources are decentralized.

In addition to minimizing operational costs, energy suppliers are looking to either expand into new markets, or are already present in multiple energy markets (the lucrative ancillary service and capacity markets, for example).

Optimally distributing subsequently ancillary service calls (mFRR, aFRR, FCR) and including them into the daily operational schedule is a complex task that demands an intelligent energy management and optimization system, one that makes efficient use of eligible technical units.

The solution is OPTIMAX® for Virtual Power Plants.
