Tool calculates optimal operation for energy plants

4DH PhD Fellow Peter Sorknæs har contributed to the development of the EnergyTRADE tool by the software and consultancy company EMD International, which calculates the optimum operation schedule regarding the daily heat production and electricity trade as well as the overall system performance.

The optimisation is based on various input data such as weather forecasts, electricity spot price prognoses, expected heat demand, storage content, preconditions required by the plant, and so on.
