WHAT IS ENERGY SYSTEMS DESIGN AND ENGINEERING
Energy systems engineering comprises holistic design, analysis and optimization of energy systems, which are composed of different energetic components like power plants and boilers, heat pumps and refrigerators, heat exchangers and accumulators.
Typical energy systems are buildings, industrial workshops, settlement areas and communes. Their supply with mechanical energy, electricity, space and process heat, refrigeration and other energy-like supply services, such as water and compressed air, can be realised by different energetic components in different circuits. Thereby, many technical solutions result, whose evaluation and optimisation should be based on criteria such as supply security, economic efficiency and environmental friendliness.
WHAT IS POWER TO X
Power-to-X (also P2X and P2Y) is a number of electricity conversion, energy storage, and reconversion pathways that use surplus electric power, typically during periods where fluctuating renewable energy generation exceeds load. Power-to-X conversion technologies allow for the decoupling of power from the electricity sector for use in other sectors (such as transport or chemicals), possibly using power that has been provided by additional investments in generation.
The X in the terminology can refer to one of the following: power-to-ammonia, power-to-chemicals, power-to-fuel, power-to-gas, power-to-hydrogen, power-to-liquid, power-to-methane, power to food, power-to-power, and power-to-syngas. Electric vehicle charging, space heating and cooling, and water heating can be shifted in time to match generation, forms of demand response that some[who?] term power-to-mobility and power-to-heat. Collectively power-to-X schemes which use surplus power fall under the heading of flexibility measures and are particularly useful in energy systems with high shares of renewable generation and/or with strong decarbonization targets.
HOW WE WORK
We depend on our customers to present the product idea; they know their markets and their processes. Vaestus adds the engineering expertise to translate the idea into reality. The equipment we design and specify is used for long-term production; the process must therefore be safe, clean, cost-effective, and robust to produce a consistent quality.
We go about it as follows:
-
Conceptual Study
-
Feasibility Study
-
Front End Engineering Design (FEED)
-
Detailed Design
Process Optimization & Product Quality – The focus is on improved technologies for the on an economically viable commercial scale. PROCESS can help evaluate operational considerations to improve efficiencies, and to help the client gain a better understanding of the interactions between food products and processes – considerations often overlooked in the past with traditional batch food processes.
