The Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU says its energy storage systems in production (ESiP) analyzer can enable the use of close to half of electricity generated on-site.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU (Fraunhofer IWU) has unveiled a tool designed to support energy management in manufacturing companies has successfully proven itself in real-world applications with utilities and industrial companies.
The energy storage systems in production (ESiP) analyzer helps factories improve the integration of renewable energy and the reduction of peak loads.
A statement published by Fraunhofer IWU explains that it enables evaluation of various use cases, covering energy storage technologies from the machine level to the factory level, and supports companies in planning, integrating, and operating customized energy storage solutions.
The tool features specific design methodologies for different application scenarios, with operational factors such as system efficiency and specific production parameters incorporated into the simulations.
