SynErgie3 - Synchronized and energy-adaptive production technology for the flexible alignment of industrial processes to a fluctuating energy supply

Initial situation:

Considerable efforts are required to adapt industrial processes to a fluctuating supply of electrical energy from renewable sources. Solutions for the efficient and reliable use of electrical energy as an alternative to the use of fossil fuels must be developed, particularly for efforts to decarbonize thermal processes.

Project targets:

As part of the planned research project, a demonstrator for a hybrid (fuel gas and electrical energy) heated radiant tube is to be developed and tested. The developed proof-of-concept must prove its suitability for real applications in the long term during operational testing. Questions regarding the achievable temporal flexibility of the use of different energy sources and the transferability of the technology must be answered.

A final validation of the use of the hybrid heating solution will evaluate both the process engineering implementation and the marketability of the solution. Necessary steps for the transfer of the hybrid heating concept to additional applications will be determined and the achievable flexibility and the use of green fuels will be evaluated.

Innovative approaches:

The flexible use of renewable electrical energy and proven heating technology with green fuels offers the operator an ecological and economical alternative.

Benefits for the industry:

  • Energy flexibility
  • Energy resilience
  • Economic benefits (CO2 certificates, flexibility market, etc.)
  • New innovative product for a variety of thermoprocessing systems
