Management · Production Management
Dyneo forecasts demand on an hourly basis and provides your automated systems with the initial temperature and storage plan that minimize losses. You remain in control: each function is activated only if you choose to do so.
The Principle
Most heating systems operate according to a water temperature law: the flow temperature depends on the current outdoor temperature, with a safety margin. As a result, the system runs hotter than necessary much of the time, and every extra degree is lost in the pipes.
A fixed law of water
It responds to the current outdoor temperature, with the same margin whether it's very cold or mild. It doesn't take into account storage, prices, or what the grid will need in three hours.
A Strong Start
The output follows the forecasted demand, the inventory level, and the production mix. Output decreases whenever possible and increases before it becomes necessary.
What the engine takes into account
The Weather Forecast
Temperature, wind, and sunshine for the next few hours, rather than just the current temperature.
Projected Demand
Learn about the history of each substation: morning restarts, domestic hot water, weekdays, and weekends.
Storage Status
What the storage tank contains and what it can provide. The engine determines when to charge it and when to draw from it.
Prices and the mix
The cost per hour of each generator, to keep the renewable power plants operating and the fossil-fuel backup plants idle.
The Method
Plan
Grid demand is forecasted hour by hour, substation by substation, for the next 24 hours.
Suggest
The engine uses this information to calculate a starting temperature and a storage load schedule, always prioritizing the substation with the highest demand.
Apply within a frame
You choose the active control actions and limits. The proposal is sent to your controllers as a bounded setpoint offset.
Measure
The gain is compared to a weather-adjusted reference period to determine the actual benefit of the piloting.
Safeguards
Dyneo does not take control of your system. Operation takes place within a framework that you define, and each safety measure is put in place before the first command is issued.
Limits that you set
Minimum and maximum flow temperature, and the allowed deviation from your water regulation: the proposal never exceeds these limits.
One lever at a time
You activate each lever separately, on the systems you choose. Nothing is controlled without your approval.
Start in advisory mode
Proposals can initially be displayed without being implemented. You can compare them with your decisions before moving on to the pilot phase.
Back to the usual guidelines
If a measurement is missing or the connection is lost, the proposal is no longer applied, and your controllers resume their normal settings.
Stop at any time
Your teams can suspend control with a single action—lever by lever or all at once—without any intervention from Dyneo.
Every decision recorded
Each proposal is logged along with the reasons for it and its measured impact. You always know what was done, when, and why.
What You Get Out of It
Fewer network losses
Starting at a lower pressure when demand allows reduces pipeline losses, hour after hour, throughout the season.
More Efficient Use of Storage Space
The tank is filled when electricity is cheapest and emptied when it is most expensive, rather than following a fixed schedule.
Less reliance on fossil fuels
By anticipating increases in demand, the renewable energy base covers more hours, and the backup power kicks in less often.
Your PLCs remain in control
Your controllers retain their programs and settings. Dyneo offers a precise, lever-by-lever adjustment—and only on the levers you select.
Comfort First
The proposed dispatch plan takes into account the measured needs of each substation. To manage peak hours, generation control is combined with peak shaving.
Smoothing out peaks →Frequently Asked Questions
Should we replace our PLCs?
No. Your controllers retain their programs. Dyneo offers a setpoint offset within the limits you specify, and you can disable each lever at any time.
What happens if we stop steering?
Your PLCs continue to operate according to their usual settings, just as before.
How is profit measured?
We compare consumption and losses to a baseline period, adjusted for weather conditions. This way, you can see how management decisions have made a difference—not just the impact of winter.
Where is the data processed?
The platform is developed in Geneva and hosted in Europe. Your data remains yours.
