Business Process Modeling

  Cross-Impact-Analysis NRGSim
Model type Model for the creation as well as qualitative and quantitative description of scenarios based on the combination of subjective evaluations and mathematical computer-aided methods Simulation model to analyze the impact of energy logistic changes in terms of forecasting, Optimization and underlying business processes for market communication for the power sector  
Model approach Description of a four-step process from scenario field analysis to scenario conception and projection clustering to scenario definition. Subjective methods such as expert interviews are combined with objective methods such as consistency matrices and cluster analysis. (Excel solution with MatLab components)  Integration of the distribution grid level into the business processes of schedule and balancing group management (simulation of the business processes forecasting, balancing, procurement, resource optimization and schedule generation), optimization of power plant deployment for demand coverage taking into account grid restrictions and flexibility, implementation in MatLab, consideration of reference days in 1/4h resolution
Model Target Description of future scenarios based on the expression of key factors Calculation of plant schedules in the individual balancing groups, calculation of imports and exports, as well as conventional generation and energy balances without and with network restrictions per balancing group and distribution system operator, calculation of costs and revenues from energy imports and exports, as well as the costs of conventional generation and the total costs/revenues of the balancing groups
Target group Network operators, generators, suppliers, authorities, ministries Plant operators, distribution system operators, balancing group managers
Reference projects Controlled charging V3.0, REGEES, ADELE-ING II REGEES
