Optimization is based on a model that reflects contracts, plant characteristic curves and procurement channels. Using this model along with current operating data, demand forecasts and fuel prices, ProCom calculates when it is worthwhile to deploy the CHP plants and when it is better to purchase electricity or operate the boilers in order to comply with the German high-efficiency and grid-use criteria. Furthermore, ProCom deployment scheduling is intended to support successful participation in the reserve capacity market. Scientific backing for the project is provided by the FZI Research Center for Information Technology.
The BMW Group started testing the optimization service at the Leipzig site in May 2018. After several weeks, deployment of the CHP and boiler plants will be solely based on the ProCom recommendations.
