DESIGN Module
Optimize your entire energy system
The DESIGN module is the basic module in energyPRO which is used to calculate the optimal energy conversions for heat, cooling and electricity for a one-year period based typically on hourly values though other time resolutions are also possible.
From heating and cooling to electricity — with unmatched flexibility and control.
All-in-One Energy System Design
The DESIGN module is the core of energyPRO and simulates optimal operation strategies over a full year, typically in hourly resolution. It supports both simple and highly complex systems across electricity, heat, and cooling demands.
Flexible & Scalable Setup
Add unlimited energy demands and technologies — from traditional systems to modern hybrid and PtX setups. The module is built to accommodate projects of any size or complexity.
Smart Storage Integration
Easily model the impact of thermal storage, batteries, biogas fuel storage, ice storage, hydro pumping, and more. DESIGN supports advanced analyses of how storage enhances system efficiency and flexibility.
Market-Driven Prioritization
Optimize production to match electricity tariffs and market price fluctuations. The module ensures your plant prioritizes the most profitable periods while meeting demand.
Built-In Financial Modeling
Define and calculate project revenues and operational costs directly. Create structured financial reports with totals, subtotals, and custom unit prices for a clear project overview.
Access Real-Time Data
Use built-in time series tools and connect to EMD's online weather database for accurate, real-world inputs to improve your system's performance simulation.
