Energy Stations Control

SE²MASTER

Superordinate control for hybrid
heating centers and energy stations

AVAT SE²MASTER the superordinate control system for energy centers and heating centers

With the integration of renewable energies into modern energy stations, the complexity for an economical operation of all existing generators, consumers and storage systems increases significantly.

This is precisely where the SE²MASTER comes in,
the configurable control system for the higher-level control of energy centers.

All types of components, such as heat pumps, CHP units, electrolysers, photovoltaics, biomass, solar thermal energy or geothermal energy as well as electric heaters and gas boilers, but also battery storage or heat storage, network pumps and valves are perfectly controlled like a large orchestra.

Modular, efficient and scalable at any time: from simple central heating systems and innovative CHP systems to complex combined heat and power plants in districts, clinics, swimming halls and in the commercial and industrial sectors. For the reliable supply of local and district heating in heating networks and combined heating networks.

Implementing hybrid energy stations more efficiently
Energy flows under fully control

AVAT SE²MASTER energy stations control for greater efficiency
Profitability

Cost and energy efficiency with maximum flexibility. Automated system management ensures optimum operation. Heat losses and internal power consumption are minimized, operating and heat generation costs are reduced.

AVAT SE²MASTER energy stations control is modularly adaptable at any time
Modularity

The control system is designed in such a way that only the necessary components are added exactly as required using the option selection. However, it can also be modularly adapted at any time should circumstances and requirements change.

AVAT SE²MASTER energy stations control system comes with the highest possible degree of standardization
Reliability

The use of standard controllers and components, common interfaces and a standardized programming environment creates future security. Risk minimization thanks to standardized technology suitable for series production.

AVAT SE²MASTER energy stations control is already 100% digital
Consistent

 Open for your future digital plans - "downwards" to the substation heat stations and metering points, as well as "upwards" to grid simulation, optimization, monitoring or billing systems.

AVAT SE²MASTER energy stations control highly efficient thanks to configuration
efficiency

Fast configuration replaces the usual individual programming. System components are implemented intuitively. Time and therefore cost savings are guaranteed and the implementation risk is significantly reduced.

AVAT SE²MASTER energy stations control prefers renewable energies for heat supply
climate-friendly

The maximum utilization of existing energy sources with a preference for renewable energies already ensures the necessary CO2 reduction today and at the same time forms the basis for the required neutrality in the coming years.

From concept to turnkey Energy Stations in just a few standardized steps
Our solution for the higher-level control of energy centers follows a consistently standardized and modular approach. This also applies from planning to seamless commissioning. This minimizes the project effort and significantly shortens the time-to-operation.

Our process - fully automated:

1. RI Scheme
Basis for designing the system and defining the control strategy.

2. Component list
Automatically generated parts list with all control and field devices.

3. Circuit diagram
Creation of circuit diagrams based on standardized templates and function blocks.

4. Configuration
Parameterization of the control strategy, automated I/O assignment and device communication with preconfigured modules.

5.  Commissioning & Live Operation
Fast start-up of the system with tested standard logic.

6. OPTIONAL: Transfer to the SE2OPERATOR Grid Control System
Automatic connection of visualization and configuration to the heat grid control system.

Integration into the overall cross-sector system

Heat Grid Control System >>> SE²OPERATOR
The SE²OPERATOR is AVAT's digital heat control system for the reliable supply of individual heating networks or complex composite heating systems. It visualizes the entire network, from the energy centers to all transition stations, and enables the control, monitoring and optimization of all operating processes, including remote access.

Transfer of the configuration data via standardized interface (Modbus-TCP) for direct, fast and efficient connection:

  • The entire data model of the SE²MASTER is automatically read out, transferred and created in the grid control system
  • Transfer of the visualization of the hydraulic diagram with operating level of all units, measured values and setpoint specifications
  • Transfer of the monitoring functions: Setting of 24-hour trend curves as well as fault and operating messages

Energy Station Optimiziation >>> SE²OPTIMIZER
Integration of the schedule data generated by optimizing the entire system. AVAT's SE²OPTIMIZER, our AI-based energy station optimizer that automatically determines the flexibility potential of generators, consumers and storage systems in energy systems, is connected directly via a standardized interface (Modbus RTU). Taking into account system-specific requirements and regulatory specifications, the operating mode of the system is controlled in a targeted and price-oriented manner, always with a view to the use of own electricity as well as procurement and feed-in on the electricity stock exchange.
