Introduction:

Valmet will supply energy balance and district heating accumulator optimisation solutions to Fortum’s energy production plants and assets in Espoo, Finland.

Features:

The solutions will be integrated with Fortum’s existing Valmet Distributed Control System (DCS). They will use advanced automation and predictive energy management to support reliable and flexible participation in electricity reserve markets. The systems will also help improve the cost efficiency of district heat production.

Fortum’s district heating production portfolio has changed significantly in recent years, with a strong shift towards electricity-based generation. Electric boiler capacity has been expanded, while fossil fuel-based production capacity has been phased out.

In response to volatile energy markets, the solutions will support optimal dispatch of electric boiler production and more efficient participation in reserve markets. Valmet’s advanced process control and optimisation technologies will help balance electricity availability with district heating demand.
