Artelys Energy Planner

Relying on its experience and knowledge in optimizing energy systems, Artelys has developed, within the Artelys Crystal Suite, a software platform, Artelys Energy Planner, dedicated to short-term optimization of energy systems. Artelys Energy Planner platform is dedicated to electricity (thermal, gas, hydraulic, wind… plants) and heat producers (network heating system, etc.).

Generic platform for specific needs

Artelys Energy Planner integrates an accurate and complete modelling of the energy system (production assets, supply and sales contracts, markets, stocks), taking all the constraints.

Significant financial gains

Artelys Energy Planner automatically generates within a few minutes an extensive production plan, satisfying all operational constraints, taking into account environmental impacts and reducing global production costs.

Optimal production plans are quickly generated, thanks to state-of-art combinatorial optimization techniques. The ergonomic user-interface has been designed to ease input data, visualize production plans and export them.

Features

A comprehensive representation of energy system, taking in account:

• Key Operational and Technical Constraints

• Environmental Constraints
- Green House Gas Emissions
- Air and Waste Pollution

• Economical Constraints
- Combustible costs
- Start-up costs
- Costs and tax for exceeding polluting quotas (CO2...)
- Energy market prices

• Daily energy demand and spinning-reserves
- Forecast daily energy demand deriving from consumption forecasting
- Forecast daily demand resulting from nominated orders on Day-Ahead Sport market
- Demand of primary and secondary spinning reserves Configurable interface

• Semi-automatic data entry

• A facilitated assessment of the results
- Specific analysis indicators
- Results visualization for operational management

• Direct visualization of different scenarios at the same time

• Direct import and export to Excel

A generic platform for specific needs

Artelys Crystal enables to take into account the specificities of the problem to be handed in order to set-up a tailor-made solution for the optimization of the energy system.

Business benefits

• Short-term optimization of production plans to meet the forecasted demand
• Optimization of the production plan optimization with arbitrage against the market
• Updating of the production plans once the energy orders have been nominated on the Day-Ahead market
• Re-Optimisation throughout the day of the production plans
• Strategic studies on possible evolutions of the production park (maintenance, new unit..)
