Online Electricity Management Calculator

The online electricity management calculator allows you to compare your current situation with other options. The tool is based on data regarding electricity consumption over the course of one year. Alternative scenarios are then generated based on this data.

Scenario 1: Consortium Synergy

Is based on combining multiple entities into a single unit for shared purchasing. The basis is the formation of a consortium comprising several entities.

Scenario 2: PV Production

Involves electricity generation. The consortium leverages synergies to generate energy from solar panels.

Scenario 3: Battery Storage

Expands the generation capabilities to include energy storage. A battery storage system is therefore built.

Key Challenges Addressed
  • Managing consumption based on monitoring at short intervals (typically 15 minutes).
  • Balancing energy consumption (or production) over time by grouping entities into larger units, while respecting guaranteed off-take, etc.
  • Tracking the carbon footprint in relation to electricity consumption.
Tool Architecture

The tool combines an online application with an Excel-based application. The Excel version is used for preparing and transforming input data. It is also possible to download the Excel version and further edit it if adjustments to the logic or the addition of new features are needed.
