BCS buffer storage management with prediction function

BCS® buffer storage management

The BCS^® buffer storage management module with prediction function for the heat demand of the district heating network ensures optimum charging and discharging of your heat storage tanks. Mains peaks are passed on to the boiler in a damped manner through targeted discharging and during off-peak times the buffer storage tank is recharged accordingly.

The prediction function of the The optimized, forward-looking buffer storage management makes it possible to monitor the heat demand in the district heating network. The required output is requested from the active or prioritized heat generators according to the buffer volume.

I am looking forward to answering your questions

Let’s talk about it

Applying buffer storage management – your benefits

Technical advantages

- Stabilization of boiler and blower operation protects the boiler components and thus extends their service life
- Eased load fluctuations and minimization of glow retention time at low load ensure optimum overall efficiency
- Intuitive operation, taking into account individual specifications for loading temperature and limits

Economic advantages

- Reduction of own power consumption through uniform operation of the combustion fans and avoidance of buffer overload (reduced electricity costs and higher power conversion efficiency)
- Reduction of malfunctions and necessary manual interventions (optimized personnel deployment)
- Reduction in fuel consumption and peak load boiler operating times (reduced fuel costs)

Environmental advantages

- Reduction of emissions and compliance with emission limits (CO, NO_x, NH₃…)
- Reduced demand for fossil fuels (peak load boiler – oil/gas)
- Increased energy efficiency

Stabilization of boiler operation, smoother operation

Optimum overall efficiency

by reducing the load changes

Constant compliance with emission limits

Reduction in the need for fossil fuels

Greater energy efficiency

Maximum power output

through targeted avoidance of buffer overload

“The CONENGA Group engineers successfully installed the higher-level biomass control solution with the firing rate control (FLR), buffer storage management (PSM) and load hierarchy management (LHM) modules at the site. The entire plant has effectively been given a new brain with which every load situation can be run optimally and evenly with full operational reliability. Once in operation, the control system is like an autopilot.”
