The presentation discussed the use of simulations for optimising energy systems, focusing on the challenges and strategies for efficient operational of energy systems, involved plants and storages and the application on heating grids. Several realisation types for operational strategies where presented followed by a concrete example consisting of a combined heat and power plant, a thermal energy storage and a battery from the real-world laboratory for decentral intelligent energy systems at Fraunhofer IISB. Simulations are the backbone of the optimisation process, as they enable the non-inversive investigation of the system. They are used for planning and optimisation, for load prognosis, grid analysis and management and energy efficiency measures. Additionally, the presentation covered the optimization of heat networks through multi-stage simulation-based operational enhancements based on the services in leveraging flexibility for the energy transition of VK Energie. Overall, the presentation provided insights into the complexities of energy system optimisation and the practical applications of simulation tools in this context.
