OPTIMAX® PowerFit
Optimizing control of Virtual Power Pools
Task
•
Aggregate many small production units and
treat them like one big power plant
•
Exploit multiple forms of energy (e.g. el and
heat) and storages
Solution
•
Build overall plant model (exploiting Modelica
multi-physics)
•
Formulate optimizing control task as
mathematical program
•
Online optimization of set points and plant
schedules
Digitalization is crucial for the interconnection of power generation, consumption,
storage and production

Industrial demand side management in pulp & paper
Coordination of production planning and energy management
Mechanical pulp production
§
Most energy consuming
production steps are moved
to low cost times
Paper output of plant is not
reduced

Summary & Conclusions
Interesting Journey ahead for Academia & Industry
§
§
Intranet of Things – Internet of Things
§
Intelligent devices equipped with sensors are providing large
amounts of data that is today used in the automation system
§
Today’s essential requirements remain valid (safety, reliability),
cyber security and data privacy become even more important
Internet of people
§
§
Internet of Services

§
Smartphone a good example of this…
Revolution or Evolution?

Business model is key. Monitoring and analytics natural first
step, but operations will follow.
More complex systems need to become simpler to manage
§
§
People will not be obsolete. They are still the decision makers.
The answer lies still in the future… depends on you!
