Planning, Simulation and Cost-Balancing for Energy Systems
Straightforward and easy-to-understand visualization of complex energy systems. Analyze the impact of your energy-related measures.
PlaNet helps decision-makers, such as local authorities, organizations, institutes and citizens’ action groups, to plan, simulate and cost-balance energy systems. This software from Seven2one enables you to simulate complex, networked energy systems, balance the costs of energy and carbon consumption, analyze environmental damage and calculate the costs of alternative strategies.
A solid data basis allows you develop long-term energy concepts and climate protection strategies, make sustainable decisions and simulate informative scenarios, which you can use to justify and evaluate solutions. There are many application areas, including investigating policy measures to reduce greenhouse gases or increasing the proportion of renewable energies.
Workflow for sustainable energy concepts and climate protection strategies
You graphically depict the topology of the reference energy system in its current state. You define the input and output for individual technologies and categorize them into sectors or regions. This data is automatically used to create a system of equations and Time Series. You can then enter physical and monetary key figures from the current state into this system. Next the system calculates the energy requirement, the CO2 balance as well as the costs for all the processes and goods in the entire modelling period energy system. Add growth rates and extrapolation rules and generate alternative scenarios.
This is an example of how you can create and continually monitor your yearly energy, cost, and emission balances with Seven2one PlaNet. Reliable data measurements enable you to evaluate your chosen strategies and their implementation.
