Today, with energy demand rising and prices constantly changing, it is crucial for companies to not only reduce consumption but also strategically manage their energy resources. Our colleague Jan Denemark discussed these challenges at the Hospodářské noviny roundtable. What were the most interesting points from our point of view?
The first step towards savings: Eliminating inefficiencies
The fastest way to savings is not through immediate investment in new technologies, but through optimizing existing operations. Companies often find that by thoroughly analyzing their consumption, they can eliminate unnecessary losses and thus reduce costs before they even start investing in PV, batteries or CHP units. This is the logical next step.
Leveraging flexibility and new opportunities for companies
Even smaller power generators can profit from the energy sector by providing power balancing services. This means that they can adjust their consumption and production according to current market conditions. Modern technologies allow companies to respond effectively to changes in energy prices and to take advantage of market opportunities. This can also make it interesting to shorten the payback periods for investments in generation resources or batteries.
You can't do it today without smart software
The increasing complexity of the energy sector and ever-changing market conditions mean that manual management of consumption and production is no longer effective. FLOWBOX EMOS is the solution that helps companies:
- Monitor energy consumption and identify inefficiencies,
- Automate the management of energy flows, allowing consumption, production and storage to be optimised based on current conditions and forecasts,
- Integrate renewables and battery storage into the corporate energy mix,
- Respond to market changes and provide flexibility for better economic returns,
- Eliminate outage risk and ensure energy security.
A data-driven strategic approach to energy
Companies that want to be competitive in the energy sector must base their decisions on accurate data. The price of energy can change every 15 minutes, which means you need smart software that evaluates data in real time and automatically adjusts consumption and production management.
"Energy management software connects to energy consumption and production technologies. Topotom need to manage. There is a lot of data and it changes over time, so you need some brains - software - to manage it. It is no longer conceivable that energy production companies would be managed by humans alone." says Jan Denemark
