The Transfo site in Zwevegem was once home to a large power plant. Today, it has been transformed into a vibrant community featuring offices, a sports complex, apartments, and more. Transfo aspires to provide this entire community with own, locally produced renewable energy.
To support this vision, we developed a tailor-made energy management system (EMS) for the energy community. The EMS automatically manages and matches an EV charging station, a heat pump, a large battery, a combined heat and power (CHP) unit, and solar panels. By leveraging advanced technologies and data analysis, the system optimizes energy consumption, reduces operational costs, and minimizes the ecological footprint of the Transfo site.
One of the implementations of Foresight is located at a vegetable processing company. At this site, the cooling of industrial freezers is optimally managed, taking into account local solar energy production, weather conditions, factory output, and fluctuations in electricity prices (both consumption and injection).
