USe Cases: How EnExpert has helped Industrial Clients

A classic use case is that after energy monitoring, we can flexibly and modularly expand various additional functions within our system. For instance, with a leading global shower cabin manufacturer, we observed that the base load outside production hours was exceptionally high. Specific periods from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. were monitored, and a base load analysis was created using both pie and Sankey diagrams. This measure enabled the company to reduce electricity consumption by 40% during this period, leading to cost savings on energy.

Another frequent application is the expansion of PV systems and the assessment and simulation of potential energy storage solutions. Our system can automatically evaluate 15-minute load profiles over several months and overlay them with current production. Based on this analysis and with the help of our PV simulation tool, the optimal expansion of the PV system (i.e., size and orientation) can be calculated to maximize self-consumption. Often, our customers now begin to align the PV system according to their actual needs rather than aiming for maximum production.

A similar simulation tool supports our customers in modeling and simulating generators (PV, CHP, wind) and energy storage systems (battery, heat storage, hydrogen, electrode boiler) within our “Digital Twins” platform. It enables the creation of technical and commercial simulations of the entire system for economic feasibility calculations.

Another well-known use case is energy management, where a process understanding is developed to monitor, optimize, and even control processes and facilities using our AI applications.

Conclusion
