A new IT solution for refinery optimization, offered by the Aachen-based IT solution provider KISTERS together with the Austrian specialist for power plant simulation ENEXSA, supports refinery operators in operating their power plants in the best possible way. In particular, the IT solution shows new, technically permissible operating modes of the plants, which, for example, ensure higher revenues on the short-term electricity markets, optimized use of residual materials while complying with emission regulations or greater integration of green hydrogen and thus a lower CO2 footprint. The unique combination of digital twin and the BelVis ResOpt optimization software calculates company-specific improvement opportunities within a few minutes and provides the day-ahead schedules for boilers (taking into account the fuel mix ratios), turbines and other energy generation plants on a quarter-hourly basis.
