Eplan puts renewable energies in the fast lane

Advancing the energy system transformation is a common goal for all stakeholders in the energy industry. To fully decarbonize the supply many renewable energy systems must be built. Due to their size and the volatility of the supply they often only function well in combination with one another.

For instance, wind farms can be connected to energy storage systems to balance loads, and photovoltaic systems can supply energy directly to charging infrastructure. Furthermore, it may also make sense to connect many smaller renewable energy systems into a virtual power plant network. This is why we consider the systems in the entire decentralized energy landscape.

Eplan software makes it possible to network all participants in the construction of a system into one single project and thereby serves as the single source of truth which ensures standardized access to all high-quality data. Aside from speeding up the design and construction phases of a project, the operations team also benefits.

For instance, field work on wind turbines often takes place under extreme conditions. By using the digital twin in Eplan the number of service missions can be reduced considerably. The associated documentation, which is always reliable and up to date, makes the operator’s work much easier and improves overall data quality.
