Cut your plant’s energy costs
Sympower pays you to adjust your energy use to meet grid demands. Cut costs by optimising your equipment’s energy consumption without impacting your core processes.
Sympower’s services tap into the existing flexibility of your cement processes, transforming your energy consumption into profit opportunities.
Sympower helps cement plants to adjust their energy use.
The profit potential of cement flexibility
Cement production can use the substantial energy for heating processes for its revenue potential. Energy-intensive equipment like CHP units and cement mills can be optimised to minimise costs and generate major profits through flexibility.
Sympower helps you pinpoint the best times to activate, select ideal markets, and streamline your processes, ensuring maximum earnings and minimal disruptions.
Sympower puts your energy to work
We connect
We work with you to identify the most flexible equipment in your facility and connect it to our system.
We adjust
We monetise your equipment on balancing markets, either decreasing or increasing consumption on pre-agreed times.
You earn
Every time you contribute your energy, you earn money based on the capacity of energy you provide, or for the time your equipment is activated.
Flexibility in the cement industry
-
During peak demand periods, cement mills can be optimised to free up electricity capacity to the grid and generate profits while minimising the impact on the daily functions of the plant.
-
Raw mills can be operated intermittently and adjusted during peak hours to reduce energy consumption, without disrupting essential kiln processes.
-
During high demand, CHP units can increase electricity generation while reducing heat output, or vice versa.
-
BESS can be charged and discharged to meet grid demands, while other equipment stays operational. It can also handle the site’s peaks of energy usage.
-
While HVAC systems optimise temperature, they can also be adjusted to decrease or increase energy usage when needed to.
-
The speed in which e-boilers can respond to control signals and the ability to adjust their power usage, makes them highly flexible.
