Aspen Technology Launches Microgrid Management System to Help Customers Address Power Reliability and Meet Net-Zero Goals
Solution empowers asset-intensive organizations to optimize power generation, storage and load management for power availability, productivity and security
The capabilities delivered by AspenTech MMS are critical to high-energy consumers today as the power grid is at a critical juncture with increasing energy demand, aging and at-capacity grid infrastructure, more severe weather events and increasing cybersecurity threats challenging its reliability and stability. As a result, industrial and commercial energy consumers are increasingly at risk for extended power outages, limitations in power consumption, and inability to meet renewable energy goals, all of which have cascading production and business impact, including delayed restarts, environmental penalties, reduced supply and increased end user costs.
“AspenTech’s new microgrid solution reduces energy vulnerability and business risk by bringing innovation to asset-intensive industries based on decades of electric utility control and automation experience gained at more than 400 global utilities,” said
A part of AspenTech’s Digital Grid Management suite, AspenTech MMS helps industrial customers address these challenges by providing enhanced power reliability with active, real-time management of power generation resources, including renewable energy and storage, improved situational awareness to maximize return on investment and enhanced cybersecurity to protect all critical loads.
The solution also features a robust Industrial AI approach capable of forecasting power consumption and renewable generation up to 35 days in the future, enabling scheduling and optimization algorithms to maximize the use of generation resources while minimizing emissions and electricity costs.
Additional standard AspenTech MMS features now available include:
- Real-time control, trending, alarming and reporting to ensure system reliability and incident response
- Ability to optimize renewables together with traditional electricity generation and battery storage in balance with active load management
- Forecasting and scheduling capabilities to enable peak shaving and optimized battery charging/discharging
- Robust user interface with responsive data historian and reporting capabilities
Advanced capabilities are also available for customers by accessing the company’s full Digital Grid Management suite of solutions. To learn more, please visit:
