Manufacturing companies are increasingly confronted with volatile electricity prices, fluctuating renewable energy production, and growing pressure to reduce energy costs. EneMapp helps you understand how flexible your production process really is and how this flexibility can be used to reduce grid dependency and energy costs while maintaining production targets.

EneMapp is a web-based simulation and decision-support tool developed within the EneMax project. It allows users to model manufacturing processes, define production requirements, include renewable energy and battery systems, and evaluate different control strategies before implementing them in the factory.

With EneMapp, you can:

• Quantify the energy flexibility of your production process.
• Evaluate the impact of production rescheduling and speed adaptation.
• Assess the benefits of on-site renewable generation and battery storage.
• Compare different control strategies based on historical energy and market data.
• Analyze KPIs such as grid energy usage, energy cost, and renewable energy utilization.

The workflow is simple and intuitive:

1. Select your industrial process or use case
2. Upload or select energy price and renewable generation profiles
3. Configure production constraints and planning targets
4. Choose control strategies
5. Run simulations and compare results

Unlike traditional scheduling approaches, EneMapp can take future forecasts and their uncertainties into account. Advanced optimization algorithms evaluate production schedules that remain effective even when renewable generation or electricity prices differ from predictions. 

Benefits include:

• Reduced energy costs. 
• Improved use of renewable energy. 
• Increased robustness against forecast errors.

EneMapp is designed for:

• Manufacturing companies exploring energy flexibility. 
• Energy managers and operations managers. 
• Researchers and innovation projects investigating smart energy management.
• Companies evaluating renewable integration and battery systems.
