ProPlan

Smart Production Planning at City and Regional Level

The ProPlan project transforms the way energy systems work, through intelligent, AI-based solutions for operational control.

The project utilizes available data streams from the electricity grid and develops forecasting tools for different entities in the energy system, including supply, demand and market parameters. Intelligent control architectures are being developed to optimize participation in multiple electricity markets, such as the day, intraday and balancing markets.

The pros and cons of different types of energy storage are evaluated, such as batteries, hydrogen and thermal storage. Special strategies are being developed to address the health status of expensive assets. The interaction and synergies between the electricity grid and the district heating network are explored to maximize symbiotic benefits and sector coupling.

The project's results are demonstrated in real-life case studies based on industrial development and expansion plans in Sweden.
