Optimization of industrial plants for exploiting energy assets and energy trading

The worldwide energy market is undergoing a transition that will lead to a greener and non-fossil fuel dependent situation in which demand side management and prosumers will play a key role. The digitalization of energetic industrial facilities to create a virtual power plant by forecasting future energy situation and modelling internal energy flow is performed for a specified case study. In this paper the proposal of creating a virtual power plant from an industrial plant is done to benefit from the opportunities raised by the energetic transition. A study of the market and exploitation approach is done. The feasibility of developing a virtual power plant considering future energy situation and internal energy assets is verified by optimizing its final cost in terms of performance against external markets. The results show that there are economic benefits for the owner of the facility while assuring the energy demand and the proper operation of the equipment.
