With the implementation of intelligent energy management in production, we can reduce peak loads at our HÄRTHA - WEISSENBURG GmbH site and significantly lower our energy consumption.
How do we achieve this? By implementing automatic load management, we shift our individual peak loads outside the high-load time windows of the grid operator. High-load time windows are projected periods when grid loads are at their highest – for example, when many consumers require electricity simultaneously. Thus, we place much lower stress on the grid during these 'critical' times and operate much more energy efficiently.
What does this have to do with sustainability? Energy efficiency is a crucial pillar of the energy transition and a prerequisite for achieving energy policy goals. A more conscious use of energy, resulting in lower overall electricity demand, reduces the required electricity generation capacities in Germany and potentially the need for storage infrastructure as well.
