Plant Balancing
Plant Balancing
Key Takeaways
- Plant balancing enables a holistic analysis of energy and material flows in industrial plants.
- Mass and energy balances can be used to systematically reveal losses, inefficiencies and optimization potential.
- An evaluation of historical process data creates a sound basis for technical and economic decisions.
- Our experts prepare precise plant balance sheets and link these with simulations and control concepts in order to implement specific measures to increase efficiency, reduce emissions and optimize costs.
Plant Balancing: Shaping technology for the future together!
Do you have a challenging problem that requires process engineering expertise, creativity and the ability to innovate? You are looking for a competent development and implementation partner for your concept? The CONENGA Group uses plant balancing as a basis for making industrial processes transparent and optimizing them in a targeted manner.
We design a model to simulate different load cases and system configurations in order to process the plant balancing using process simulation. We compare the resulting energy balances according to the specifications and technical evaluation criteria (e.g. from the EU taxonomy).

We create the necessary simulation models using the IPSEpro (SimTech) process simulation software, for example. The simulation makes it possible to efficiently calculate mass, energy and energy balances for process plants or plant components and to correlate various process parameters or illustrate the dependencies.
Material data for water, ideal gases, organic substances, solids, etc. as well as common components (pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, reactors, valves, etc.) are available in a model library or are developed if necessary. By combining these, it is possible to simulate complex processes at different levels of detail.
Plant Balancing: Our services
The input data is provided by the customer. Seasons are taken into account as required. This enables the simulation of summer and winter operating conditions with a supplementary profitability analysis.
The simulation model to be designed takes into account the existing relevant generation, conversion and consumption plants within the system boundaries under consideration. We simulate the load cases to be considered from the actual configuration or the desired configuration.
Typical input data for power plants
- Fuel compositions and heat outputs
- Steam mass flows in the form of produced steam, (un)converted steam and steam required for consumers
- thermal and electrical outputs or own consumption
- (maximum) generator outputs
- Further plant data such as efficiency, pipe dimensions and limits regarding flow rates, outputs, etc.
- specific marginal costs for the calculation of specific operating costs
Usual results of plant balancing
We present the results of the process simulation using selected load cases. These include cost diagrams (cost and revenue shares, cost difference summer to winter operation in percent), steam mass flow diagrams and an overall picture as Sankey diagrams, in which the thickness of the bars or flows reflects the outputs.
