Electrification, digitalisation, balancing short- and long-term priorities, and the complex physics of steam—how are industry leaders tackling these challenges? After conducting 35 in-depth interviews with experts at leading companies across various industrial sectors, we’re ready to share the key insights! Join our webinar, “Full steam ahead: the opportunity for industry in decarbonising its steam grids” on November 28, 2:00-3:00 PM CET. Expect real-world examples of challenges and solutions from industry players. #EnergyTransition #IndustrialDecarbonisation #SteamSystems #DigitalTwin

Next week, our colleagues Ann Robin and Tania Schulze will be attending ERTC, a leading conference by the World Refining Association, focused on the future of refining in Europe. The discussion will center on how refineries can leverage technological advancements to build a more resilient and sustainable future. As European Oil & Gas undergoes a major transition, refining is evolving from a traditional hedge to a strategic asset. European refineries are now exploring solutions like Gradyent’s #DigitalTwin, which enhances energy efficiency to new levels. To illustrate these advancements, we’re excited to share early results from our recent work at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam. 👉 Attend Ann's presentation on Mastering Steam Networks in Refining on the 14th November at 13:00 and stop by our booth P6 in the Tech and Talent Zone to discuss these industry shifts and our work with Shell! #ERTC2024 #EnergyEfficiency

We’re thrilled to share that Shell has partnered with Gradyent to pilot a Digital Twin of its steam grid at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park in Rotterdam – and already generated substantial results https://lnkd.in/dttdvSne Shell accomplished two objectives by creating a #DigitalTwin of its steam grid sections: 1. Identification of potential improvements to the steam grid’s efficiency ➡️ Historical data analysis showed that live setpoint control could reduce grid steam venting. This would reduce steam system energy usage, carbon emissions, and costs in grid operation. 2. Simulation of future grid developments related to electrification and changing steam demand ➡️ Shell tested how grid development affected its decarbonisation goals using Digital Twin-based simulations of the steam grid component. This revealed the best future grid structure with reduced steam demand from electrification and changing steam demand efforts. We are proud to be actively involved in the optimisation and decarbonisation initiatives of Europe’s largest refinery! #EnergyEfficiency #sustainability

We're thrilled to share an update on our collaboration with Kansen voor West. Through its Just Transition Fund, Gradyent has been able to start building Digital Twins of steam systems at two companies in the Rijnmond area.   Through Gradyent’s Digital Twin Platform, companies are now able to identify significant savings opportunities across various site operations. These potential improvements not only boost efficiency but also allow the simulation of future developments essential to the energy transition.   As Rijnmond continues its transformative energy journey, Digital Twins play a pivotal role in supporting the resilience of industrial sites. Our next steps in the JTF-funded project include integrating all segments of the steam grid within the Digital Twins and broadening their applications. https://lnkd.in/e49cB2rD #DigitalTwins #sustainability

Last month, our Gradyent team came together in Rotterdam to celebrate five years of innovation and growth. The day began with insightful talks from three guest speakers, Jasper Eijmers and Sander Fransen 🔥⚡️ from Gasunie and Ivo Pothof from Deltares, who shared their perspectives on the future of #districtheating in the Netherlands. In the afternoon, the excitement shifted to the sports hall for the Gradyent Olympics, which brought out plenty of laughter and team spirit. We are very grateful for our amazing colleagues and look forward to continuing this journey together!

Next week, our colleague Ann Robin will present "Digital Twins for industrial heating networks: innovation and increased efficiency" at the 60th vgbe energy e.V. Chemistry Conference. Ann will dive into how Digital Twins powered by physics-based models and AI can optimise and help future-proof Industrial Steam networks. Are you attending? See the details below and don’t miss the opportunity to join the presentation! 📅 24 October 2024 🕒 14:00 - 14:30 📍 Room F #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability

In two weeks, the Gradyent team will be attending Landsmøde in Copenhagen, organised by Dansk Fjernvarme. This event brings together around 2,000 professionals from the #districtheating sector to discuss the current and future of the energy industry. 🗓️ 24-25 October 📍 Copenhagen, Denmark If you're attending the event, be sure to visit us at stand 11! Let's exchange insights on #decarbonisation in district heating and explore the pivotal role of digital solutions.
