Increase profitability by optimizing energy-intensive production
Valmet DNAe Energy Management System (EMS) for process industries
Energy-intensive industries such as Power-to-X, hydrogen, and biofuels must balance production efficiency, energy costs, and sustainability in increasingly volatile electricity markets. Valmet DNAe Energy Management System (EMS) connects electricity procurement, production planning, and real-time optimization into one integrated system. This enables industrial operators to optimize production based on real-time electricity prices and reserve market opportunities, improving efficiency, increasing transparency, and strengthening collaboration between energy procurement and production teams.
Lower energy costs through real-time optimization and performance insights
Optimize energy consumption and production timing based on real-time electricity prices and market conditions. Gain visibility into energy performance through reporting and analytics tools to track key indicators, identify deviations, and uncover opportunities for continuous improvement.
Increased value from electricity and reserve markets
Enable participation in electricity and reserve markets by aligning production with the most profitable operating conditions and market signals.
Optimized energy-intensive processes such as P2X and hydrogen
Improve the efficiency and profitability of electrolyzer-based production by operating when electricity is most affordable and renewable.
Better coordination between energy procurement and production
Enhance transparency and collaboration between procurement teams and production operations through integrated planning and shared decision-making, supporting data-driven decisions across the organization.
Optimize green hydrogen and P2X production in real time
Energy-intensive processes, particularly in Power-to-X and green hydrogen production, where regulation like European Union Delegated Act for Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) may require continuous adaptation to fluctuating electricity prices and renewable energy availability. Electrolyzers play a critical role in these applications but are highly sensitive to electricity price variations, making real-time optimization essential.
Valmet DNAe Energy Management enables cost-efficient hydrogen and synthetic fuel production by aligning electrolyzer operation with electricity market conditions and renewable availability. By leveraging real-time data, market signals, and reserve market opportunities, the system maximizes efficiency, supports grid stability, and improves overall process profitability.
Turn energy into a controllable performance driver
The solution helps transform energy from a cost factor into a controllable and value-generating part of production performance by aligning energy consumption with market conditions, renewable availability, and system flexibility.
By integrating energy management with production planning and operational control, the solution enables more autonomous, flexible, and economically optimized industrial processes, while ensuring alignment with grid requirements and evolving market dynamics.
Optimizing Ren-Gas’ Power-to-X fleet with Valmet’s digital twin solution
Valmet and Ren-Gas have developed a full-scale central control room simulator acting as a digital twin for six planned Power-to-X plants in Finland.
The solution enables early testing of operating strategies, optimization, training, and maintenance planning - before the plants exist. Real-time visualization and integrated production planning support flexible operations and strategic electricity trading.
Watch how Valmet and Ren-Gas are shaping the future of green hydrogen and e-methane - and read more in the customer success story.
We have to be able to follow wind and solar energy production closely and flexibly adjust our own production. Based on wind and solar energy production forecasts, the system will carry out fully automatic production planning. This enables us to utilize renewable sources effectively while benefitting from cheap excess electricity on the market.”
