How Flexible
is Your Industry?
Battery Energy Storage
BESS can be smartly managed by charging and discharging as the grid needs it to. This allows the battery to serve multiple functions, while supporting other assets that are on-site.
Crypto Mines
GPU speed can be lowered during any part of the day to decrease electricity consumption.
When combined with the load of other GPUs, they can be used to balance the grid by running them at lower speeds.
Food Processing
Food processing requires heat, ventilation and cooling storage. The power needed for fans and compressors can be temporarily adjusted without affecting key-processes.
Transport & E-Mobility
Planned charging schedules are used to ensure electric vehicles are always charged. By also planning when these are charged and discharged, they can become useful assets for demand response services.
Data Centers
Data centres have non-urgent electrical operations that can be rescheduled according to the grid’s needs. These can include emergency energy supply, cooling and ventilation processes.
Wood Processing
Wood processing utilises large fans throughout the drying process. The overall speed of these fans can be controlled within a set limit to alter their overall energy use. This allows them to be utilised as an asset for flexibility services.
Pulp & Paper
The energy consumption of both E-boilers and CHP’s can be adjusted, making them perfect candidates for demand response.
Even when recycling pulp and paper, the engines of mixers and compressors of aeration systems are useful assets.
Chemical Industry
At these sites, mixers, and stirrers are constantly in operation. The speed of these mixers can be adjusted without influencing their production, to reduce their power consumption. This makes them a more flexible asset that’s able to take part in demand response.
Greenhouses
Lighting can be momentarily turned down or off without impacting the growing process of the crops. The lights can be used as a flexible asset for grid balancing.
Cold Storage
Thanks to the slow change in temperature, the power consumption of cold storage units can be periodically stopped to take part in demand response. The speed of the compressors can be limited, without any changes to the unit’s overall temperature.
Commercial & Buildings
Hotels use HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems for climate control. These can be turned up or down for short periods of time, without altering the guests in the hotel. This makes HVAC systems perfect for grid balancing.
Water Treatment Plants
While aerating treated waste water, the speed of compressor units can be adjusted to limit their power consumption. The flexibility of these compressors can be used to help create a more balanced grid.
Metal Production
Metal production requires a lot of energy through its heat input. This heat is often produced by CHP’s. The energy consumption of CHP’s can be smartly adjusted without impacting overall production while participating in demand response.
Success Stories
See how our customers are leading the energy transition!
After talking to Sympower about the process, they came and installed everything. I didn’t have to do a thing!
Sympower even called my local electrician to help with the installation”
“As we use lots of electrical energy for wood drying, we are always interested in new projects that could save us money.
The installation and operation of Sympower’s solutions have not affected the drying time or quality of our timber. Instead, we use less energy to get the same high-quality dried timber.”

What is Demand Response?
Demand response is a change in electricity consumption by consumers (such as commercial and industrial businesses) to help keep the supply and demand of electricity in balance.
Smart Grid Explained
Smart grids are electricity networks that make use of emerging technologies to sense and respond to change. This means they can continually adjust supply to match demand and keep themselves operational while supplying everything with power.
The differences in demand response – balancing services explained
Demand response services allow independent aggregators, like Sympower, to provide support for participating businesses in order to benefit from financial incentives offered by the Transmission System Operator (TSO).
