Energy management
in the paper industry

Intelligent energy management for:
Paper
Pulp
Wood pulp
Waste paper

Power consumption in the paper industry is growing

In the paper industry, processes such as drying paper, operating pulp making machines and processing raw materials are among the biggest energy consumers. Most of the production processes are heat-intensive and highly complex. Many paper manufacturers are currently still heavily dependent on natural gas. We help your company to electrify its heat and optimize the increasing power consumption.

Production & consumption forecasts

Our energy management system flexOn combines your relevant internal energy and operating data. Together with external data on weather and market prices, they are visualized in real time on the flexOn dashboard. The artificial intelligence of the energy management system uses this data to create precise consumption and production forecasts. This is possible at plant, location and company group level. The forecasts support optimized energy procurement and the reduction of equalising energy risks in your procurement strategy.

Efficient electrification of heat

With the help of forecasts, the energy management system calculates cost-optimized schedules for your heat generation plants and plant networks such as CHP or Power-2-Heat plants. The intelligent energy management system flexOn takes into account both your own generation and dynamic fuel prices, so that the various energy flows are coordinated in the most cost-effective way for you.

Multi-use approach for thermal storage

Regardless of whether it is a heat, cold or high-temperature storage — with the flexOn intelligent energy management system, you can make full use of the possibilities of your thermal storage system. Thanks to the multi-use approach, your storage is used in various cases, such as to optimize self-consumption or atypical grid usage. The overall goal of energy management in the paper industry is always to minimize your energy costs.

Real-time simulation of electrification & storage

Are you wondering whether electrifying your heat generation, investing in storage or a PV system is worthwhile for you? The real-time simulation of our energy management for the paper industry supports you in making an informed decision. Using your live data, our intelligent energy management system carries out multi-scenario analyzes that serve as the basis for your investment decisions.
