Optimizing Energy Networks – Simulating, Controlling, and Regulating Electricity, Gas, and Heating Networks

Our Expertise

Optimizing the plant’s operating schedule requires modeling all components as accurately as possible. For the district heating network, this means considering not only static states, but also its entire temporal dynamics. Only then can the network be operated optimally as part of the overall heating plant.

Irrespective of the type of energy (electricity, natural gas, district heating), similar mathematical problems arise in modeling, simulation, optimization and/or control.

Our expertise in the field of energy networks covers the entire spectrum:

• Mathematical modeling
• Algorithm development
• Optimization and control
• Software implementation

Due to the size and complexity of these mathematical models, methods of model reduction must be developed and applied to accelerate simulation and to make model-based control feasible. These reduced models must still capture all essential processes accurately.
