Cogen / CHP
For operators of power, steam, and utility facilities where energy generation and customers are co-located
 
 
Integrated CHP facilities
Energy intensive facilities like paper, sugar and steel mills with integrated power and steam generation.
Make optimal operational decisions with VOLT Live
  • When should on site generation be ramped up and down to maximise revenue?
  • If multiple fuels are available, how should they be used to minimise cost?
  • What is the impact of varying fuel quality on asset dispatch?
  • How should operators react to step changes in demands or financial conditions?
  • How should nominations (e.g. GSAs, PPAs) be made to maximise margin?
Make optimal strategic decisions with VOLT Planning
  • What is the impact of changes in long term steam customer demands?
  • How should biomass stockpiles be managed?
  • What is the value in more active energy trading? How does it impact asset dispatch?
  • How can commercial structures like PPAs or GSAs be evaluated and costed?
  • Is load shedding economically viable? How can it be managed operationally?
 
 
 
Multi-utility CHP precincts
Multi-tenancy CHP facilities where steam, power and water is distributed through private networks to co-located customers such as petrochemical plants.
Make optimal operational decisions with VOLT Live
  • When should power be exported or imported using a grid connection?
  • When should boilers be used to de-couple steam and power demands?
  • When should steam turbine extraction be used instead of steam let down?
  • How should operators react to step changes in demands or financial conditions?
  • How can coordination between multiple assets be executed to reduce fuel costs?
Make optimal strategic decisions with VOLT Planning
  • What is the impact of changes in long term steam customer demand?
  • What is the value of new generation assets? How does It impact existing dispatch?
  • What is the cost of supply diversity constraints?
  • What is the value in alternative fuel stockpile strategies?
  • What are the costs of asset and instrument restrictions?
