New challenges –
new opportunities
Energy demand is rising. Worldwide. Unstoppably.

But the requirements for energy providers are not the same everywhere.
Energy must cross great distances

Energy supply is becoming

Page 18 EM DG PTI
How DEMS® works – forecasting
DEMS ® creates a forecast for renewable

energy generation and loads – depending on
variables such as:
• Type of day
• Time
• Weather conditions
• Power plant characteristics
With configurable forecast bandwidths, you can

determine the reserve and risk strategies for plant
operation in advance.
Usage for the following day and week can be

continuously optimized using this forecast.

Page 19 EM DG PTI
DEMS® – forecasting functions
Weather forecast for multiple areas

• Weather service data import
• Refinement of imported data with updates
Load forecast
Resolution:
15/30/60 min. • Type of day, calendar information, weather data, production
dispatch plans, trends
Horizon: Up to • Continuous automatic improvement of forecasting
7 days ahead parameterization
• Calculation of forecast uncertainty
Renewable energy production forecast

• Conversion of weather data to electric power
• Calculation of forecast uncertainty

Page 20 EM DG PTI
How DEMS® works – scheduling
Scheduling to minimize operating costs
• ... for up to seven days in advance

• ... with a resolution of 15, 30, or 60 minutes
• ... with modern mathematical optimization
algorithms
• ... focusing on both economical and ecological
aspects
• ... taking into account power-up costs, output
ramps, minimum operating and shutdown times etc.
• ... and complex energy delivery and purchase
contracts, time-dependent rate structures, etc. while
differentiating between controllable, switchable,
and non-controllable loads.

Page 21 EM DG PTI
DEMS® – scheduling
Optimization
• Time resolution: 15/30/60 minutes; time horizon up to 7 days
• Optimum use of all flexible resources
• Taking into account:
• Energy and media flows
• Reserve and risk strategies
• Technical conditions
Resolution: • Environmental conditions
15/30/60 min. • Contracts
• Prices for fuel, energy purchases, and marketing options
Horizon: Up to • Current plant conditions
7 days ahead • Load management in the planning phase
• Use of mixed integer linear programming
• Calculation of power dispatching and on and off-switching
instructions

Page 22 EM DG PTI
How DEMS® works – real-time optimization
Based on the dispatch plan, any

deviations that occur during operation are
distributed cyclically – at minimum cost –
among generators, storage systems, and
controllable loads.
This ensures:
• Adherence to planned value
• Fulfillment of stipulations of purchase
and supply contracts

Page 23 EM DG PTI
DEMS® – online functions
General
• Cycle time: 1 minute or shorter
Schedule monitoring
• Monitors various regions
• Compares target/actual values for generation and consumption
of electricity
• Regulates energy or power
• Monitors the minute reserve
• Responds to requests for reserves
• Calculates the power corrections
Online optimization
• Allocates power corrections to the controllable plants
• Uses storage systems, controllable loads, and controllable
generator plants
• Takes the lowest-cost units into account

Page 24 EM DG PTI
DEMS® – online functions
Generation management
• Operation: independent, manual, acc. to plant schedule, control
• Takes technical framework into account
• Takes the current plant status into account (malfunction, on/off,
local/remote-controlled)
• Start/stop commands, target value specifications
• Monitors subsequent behavior
• For generator plant and storage systems
• Specifies active power and reactive power
Load management
• Operation: manual, acc. to plant schedule, control
• Prioritizes load classes acc. to standard costs
• Rotates load switching
• Takes the current load status into account
(on/off, local/remote-controlled)
• Takes the current load into account when switching off
• Takes the rated power, and an increase factor, into account
when switching on again
