The profit potential of metallurgy flexibility
Metallurgy plants are energy powerhouses with untapped revenue potential. Energy-intensive equipment like furnaces and HVAC systems 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 metallurgy 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 metallurgy industry
-
Reducing power usage of galvanised pots can be done to balance the grid when it’s needed, without affecting the product. The temperature reduction is compensated when balance is restored.
-
Furnaces can see their operations temporarily adjusted up or down for short periods of time without impacting final output.
-
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.
