Energy savings for industrial users
The Valmet DNA Energy Management system is ideal for energy-intensive industrial processes, such as pulp and paper, Power-to-X, hydrogen, and biofuels.
By integrating electricity purchasing with production planning, you can optimize production based on real-time electricity prices and reserve market opportunities. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also improves transparency and fosters better communication between energy procurement and production teams.
Electrolyzers play a key role in Power-to-X applications but are highly sensitive to electricity prices, making real-time optimization essential. An advanced energy management system (EMS) ensures cost-efficient hydrogen or synthetic fuel production by operating electrolyzers when electricity is most affordable and renewable. The EMS maximizes efficiency, supports grid stability, and boosts P2X profitability by aligning production with grid needs and leveraging market signals, including reserve markets.
With Valmet, you gain access to a wide range of solutions to automate and optimize your plant processes, driving greater efficiency and maximizing your returns in the electricity market. Contact us to learn more!
