Test a capital investment before committing to it
Any Energy Management route can be extended to test whether new or upgraded assets would strengthen the business case. The same plant simulation models the asset’s effect on operations and economics, so you see the realistic return before committing capital.
One coordinated system, not asset by asset
Because the simulation models the plant as a whole, the assessment answers not just what an asset costs and earns, but how it interacts with the rest of the operation and whether the result holds up across a full year of real conditions.
Pumps and blowers
Larger or more efficient units, or additional duty/standby capacity, and how that changes the load shape available for shifting.
Storage and reservoir capacity
Additional water or sludge storage that increases how much load can be deferred into cheaper periods or drawn down to shave demand peaks.
Solar PV and battery storage
On-site generation and storage, dispatched against the same effective cost as the rest of the plant: time-of-use, demand charges and, where relevant, wholesale spot.
Anaerobic digestion and cogeneration
Biogas utilisation for electricity and heat, and whether a larger engine or biogas storage improves the case, including waste heat back to the digester.
Any combination can be tested together. The simulation treats all assets as one coordinated system, so a combined business case is assessed as a whole.
How it connects to Energy Management
A CAPEX assessment is triggered from Tariff Optimisation, Alternate Tariffs or Demand Response where the initial simulation shows value would grow with new assets in place. The case for those assets rests on the capacity they add: storage that enables load shifting and peak shaving, and generation that displaces import. Wholesale dispatch is a further option where the plant has appetite for it. See Energy Management Overview.
Delivering the outcome
Where a business case supports moving ahead, Delprosa can deliver the engineering design and project management through to commissioning. See Delivery Services.

The realistic return on new assets is a question the simulation can answer before you spend a dollar on them.
