GPSS offers efficient solutions adapted to your individual needs in the fields of Agri-PV and the production and use of green hydrogen. Our portfolio ranges from consulting and conducting a feasibility study to project development, implementation, and operational management of the plant.
The experience and know-how from our own projects are directly incorporated into the consulting and project development for interested customers.
The first GPSS Energy Ecosystem is about to be released!
This project, which serves as a proof of concept of GPSS, is supported by renowned (public and private) partners and represents a big step towards Luxembourg’s self-sufficiency in green hydrogen.
Come back in a few weeks to find out more.
Coordinating different energy flows such as green electricity, hydrogen and heat at one location in a meaningful and economical way is a challenge. For this reason, we self-developed intelligent simulation and optimisation tools to quickly and reliably offer you solutions within the framework of a feasibility study.
Based on the site-specific potential, we adapt an entire energy ecosystem with all the necessary components to your individual needs as shown schematically in the figure below. In this way, the most efficient and economical production and use of green hydrogen can be achieved.
Schematic animation of our energy ecosystem with the integrated production of green hydrogen
When conducting the individual feasibility study, we first analyse your specific hydrogen and energy demands. Following this, each component is virtually represented in a high level of detail by a simulation model, also known as a Digital Twin.
Simulations of the entire Energy-Ecosystem are carried out through the individual Digital Twin model. By adjusting the components and the operating strategy, the production and demand of hydrogen and electricity can therefore be optimally coordinated.
To determine the most important key performance indicators (KPIs) as realistically as possible, we simulate at a high temporal resolution over a long operating time period. These results serve as the basis for the subsequent profitability analysis and identification of the optimal plant design for maximum economic efficiency.
From a selection of more than a thousand possible system configurations and a multitude of parameters, we find the optimal solution for your specific needs.
For this purpose, our self-developed optimisation tool uses innovative algorithms from the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
As presented in the video, the optimisation starts with a large range of possible plant configurations. With each subsequent simulation step the uneconomical configurations are gradually sorted out. Thus, at the end of the optimisation, for example, the constellation of Agri-PV and wind power as well as hydrogen production (electrolyser power) is found, which achieves the highest economic efficiency (return on investment) of the energy ecosystem.
If you decide to realise a plant for the production of green hydrogen, GPSS will take care of all necessary tasks for you.
We take care of the permits as well as the detailed technical planning and accompany you in the communication with all involved parties and the public.
We then take over the construction of the plant so that nothing stands in the way of your green hydrogen production.
After commissioning, the correct control, as well as regular and professional maintenance of the plant are crucial for a reliable and economical operation.
GPSS takes care of these tasks for you so that you can enjoy the benefits of green hydrogen straightforwardly and efficiently.
Optimal management of the energy ecosystem is the next important component of your project. For this purpose, we at GPSS develop a control system for the plant that is based on innovative methods of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and model predictive control (MPC).
These approaches make it possible to optimally use the available energy and achieve an increase in the service life of the electrolyser as the central component of the energy ecosystem. The consideration of predictive maintenance additionally increases the availability of all components.
In this way, we achieve hydrogen production and use with the best possible efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
When carrying out the feasibility study, we examine feasible Agri-PV concepts for your application in a quick and uncomplicated manner. In this context, we take into account suitable agricultural crops as well as forms of cultivation and adapt the electricity production to your needs in the best possible way.
With our innovative software tools, we cover a comprehensive range of services:
In addition to our own systems, which are adapted to the Luxembourg conditions, we offer you individual and innovative solutions.
Our consulting is aimed specifically at interested farmers as well as larger electricity consumers in the vicinity of agricultural land.
Our software for selecting the best plant configuration is based on innovative algorithms from the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
This allows us to ensure that the optimal solution is found for you from a wide range of possibilities.
As can be seen in the video, such an optimisation starts with a large selection of possible plant configurations. Based on your location, we carry out detailed simulations and calculations. These allow us to predict the expected electricity production over a long period of time and with a high temporal resolution. With each subsequent simulation step, the uneconomical configurations are gradually sorted out. Thus, at the end of the optimisation, the combination of Agri-PV concept and PV output with the greatest economic efficiency (return on investment) is found.
The basis for the analysis of the solar radiation on the agricultural area is provided by our light simulation, which simulates the shadow cast by the different Agri-PV concepts in a high degree of detail. This supports us during the analysis of the effect on the cultivation by the Agri-PV system.
Contact Request for Feasibility Study
GPSS is your partner for the realisation of your Agri-PV system!
We take over the necessary steps of the approvals, the communication with all involved parties and the public as well as the refinement of the chosen Agri-PV concept up to the detailed technical planning and the subsequent construction of the plant.
We ensure that the plant is a success from both an economic and an agricultural point of view.
Our services include regular maintenance, operation, and commercial management of the plant, so that green electricity can be reliably produced for at least 15 years.
This allows you to take advantage of the area’s double yield from agriculture and electricity production without any worries.
