Forecasting and Optimisation
Solutions for the cost- and climate-optimised use of your energy technology systems
Optimised energy production, procurement and storage management, lower costs and increased energy efficiency
It has never been more important to make the most of conventional power plants, renewable energy plants and industrial generation parks – i.e. with the lowest possible costs, high profits and, above all: sustainably.
Energy companies must ensure reliable generation and supply, conserve resources, minimise CO2 emissions and participate in the market successfully.
Every energy management system has savings potential. Our forecasting and optimisation software supports helps to pinpoint that potential across the entire life cycle of your plants, facilitates expansion planning and daily operations management.

Optimised energy systems across the board
Optimised energy systems across the board
Forecasts and optimisation are central issues in the context of energy system transition.
Market success is becoming increasingly complex, as the overall objective has shifted towards resource conservation and sustainability, while still requiring reliable generation and supply across all energy market sectors and keeping costs down, while generating as much profit as possible. The key: optimising the operation of conventional power plants, renewable energy generation systems, and generation parks.
There is optimisation potential in any energy system.
Our forecasting and optimisation solution delivers viable deployment proposals for energy management. All framework conditions, including government regulations, markets, prices, contractual restrictions, and technical limitations are taken into consideration to create optimised plant operation schedules, and trade and storage management proposals.
Areas of deployment and application
Areas of deployment and application
Our forecasting and optimisation solutions excel in all areas of energy generation, procurement, storage, supply and distribution:
- Conventional power plants
- District heat generation, distribution networks and storage facilities
(fossil gas, LNG, biogas, hydrogen) - Industry (energy supply to production plants, material flow for production)
- Hydropower plants and storage facilities
- Virtual power plants
- Cross-references for sector coupling
- EE generation, transport, conversion (hydrogen, e-fuels …), storage
Our solutions handle short-term, medium-term and long-term planning, as well as assessments of expansion and new construction plans in the electricity, heat and transport sectors, taking into account relevant cross-references options.

Your benefit
Typically, power plant deployment optimisation, portfolio and procurement optimisation, trading, resource and energy management, and virtual power plants are the applications with the highest optimisation potential. Our customers rely on our optimisation solution to:
- increase the value added from their own portfolio by way of higher contribution margins at lower costs
- increase operational efficiency through optimised maintenance planning
- make the best, safest and fastest decisions for operational management
- automate report generation, including important key performance indicators (KPIs)
Any participant in the liberalised energy market, be it operations planners, plant operators, traders, energy suppliers, municipal utilities, decision-makers in energy-intensive industries and other roles will benefit from using our forecasting and optimisation solutions.

Forecasts
Our forecasting solution has the mass data capabilities you need for the energy world of our future. It effortlessly calculates high numbers of forecasts (>10,000 per day).
Optimisation
An intuitive user interface and a host of preconfigured modules for energy generation and industrial plants, renewable energies, distribution networks and trade let you map the entire spectrum of energy management tasks. The result is then transposed into a mathematical model to calculate all technical and economic restrictions.
Process Automation
Optimisation and forecasting can be integrated into your processes in a time- or event-driven manner.
Cloud solution for more flexibility and budgetability

The complete software solution for forecasting and optimisation is available as SaaS from the certified KISTERScloud.
In other words: you don’t buy the actual software, but instead the right to use it online – all or just parts of it, with a specific number of users and over a specific period of time.
Additional SaaS options include backup service, monitoring, on-call service, update service and administrative support. The software runs in the certified KISTERS Data Centre in Aachen, Germany, and you access it via web browser over a secure connection.
The operation of your system as a KISTERScloud solution is easily set up, requires very little investment, and is available at low monthly leasing rates.
Of course, you can also choose an on-premises concept, which will integrate seamlessly into your ancillary processes and systems like trade and control systems.
