E-BOOST for virtual power plants records the consumption requirements for electrical and thermal energy in real time and with foresight, in addition to all the data of the individual plants. The data is displayed in a dashboard and processed in the cloud:
- current production data (electrical and thermal) of all individual plants
- current consumption data
- future forecast consumption data
- Cost/benefit analysis of the individual production plants
- Purchase prices for fuels
- Sales prices for electrical and thermal energy
- exact weather data and forecasts for the plant locations
From this data, the data of the plant conditions, the consumption forecasts and the current price/cost situation, algorithms in e-boost calculate the optimal production mix from the individual plants.
