Sumitomo SHI FW has signed a contract with Energy Exemplar to license their energy modeling and simulation software PLEXOS. The Finland based global provider of integrated energy technologies and services is focused on clean energy solutions which also include energy storage.
Sumitomo SHI FW are using Liquid Air Energy Storage, trademark CRYO Battery in partnership with Highview Power, to provide different applications that allow customers to decarbonize their facilities, optimize return on investments as well as future proof their assets to function in changing market dynamics.
Sumitomo SHI SFW will be using PLEXOS to optimize the grid systems towards 100% renewable energy using CRYO Battery technology providing LDES and needed flexibility. They will also be looking at modeling grid stability services like system inertia, voltage support, and help customers to stack revenues and return on investment.
“We are looking forward to making PLEXOS an integral part of understanding different markets and developing value propositions for enabling decarbonized grids. Energy Exemplar have not only proven that PLEXOS can help us optimize energy systems economically but also provide us with deeper insights into modeling Power to X.”
- Upma Koul, Vice President Strategy and Business Development, Sumitomo SHI FW
The benefits of Sumitomo SHI FW using PLEXOS include the ability to:
- Understand the levelized cost of storage between Hydrogen and electricity;
- Optimize the placement of CRYOBATTERY Energy Storage, a Highview Power technology facilities globally;
- Find the most cost-effective solution for run time and output.
“To be working with Sumitomo is a real pleasure, as we get to actively take part in shaping the future of storage technology. PLEXOS offers Sumitomo SHI FW the flexibility to support not only its own needs but to advance the modeling for its businesses and their various use cases, allowing them to unlock new markets and reinforce others.”
- Michael Schneider, Senior Vice President, Head of EMEA at Energy Exemplar
