How do we meet industry\u2019s growing demand for electricity without the power system becoming a bottleneck? That question took centre stage when Electrified Flexible Industry hosted its first in-person partner meeting. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Electrified Flexible Industry brings together nearly 50 stakeholders. Through eight industrial demonstrations and a national Digital Twin, the initiative will show how industry can use electricity more intelligently and become a more active part of the energy system. The objective is to free up capacity for increased electrification by making better use of existing grid capacity. <\/p>\n\n

For the first time, the project\u2019s partners met in the same place to share experiences, draw inspiration from one another\u2019s work, and discuss the next steps. The programme reflected the different pieces that need to fall into place for industrial flexibility to work in practice. The day offered new connections, peer exchange, and concrete examples. <\/p>\n\n

One of the day\u2019s highlights was the demonstration showcase, where Ellevio, Billerud, Uddeholm, ESAB and Power Circle took the stage. Concrete examples were presented of how forecasting, energy management, electrification and automation are already creating new opportunities for more flexible energy use. <\/p>\n\n

For industrial companies, the initiative is about finding new ways to develop production while using energy more flexibly. At Rottneros Mill, for example, they are exploring how faster start-ups and shutdowns in energy-intensive processes can help adapt electricity use to the conditions of the power system. <\/p>\n\n

\u2013 It is extremely important for us to continuously develop and optimise our processes, and here we have the opportunity to test how entirely new technology can help us take the next step and reduce our energy costs, says Anna Boss, Energy Specialist at Rottneros.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The workshop, led by Hanna Paradis of Lindholmen Science Park, highlighted what we aim to achieve together within the project and how we can create value far beyond our own organisations.<\/p>\n\n

In addition, Maria Gustafsson and Melina Kotsinas from the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate presented the authority\u2019s work on net-zero technologies and regulatory sandboxes. The focus was on how future regulations can create the conditions for new solutions in energy flexibility and power flexibility. <\/p>\n\n

AI was a recurring theme throughout the day. Filip Kjellgren of AI Sweden and Sebastian Karlsson of Chalmers Industriteknik showed how AI, data and forecasting models can help industry use energy more intelligently, strengthen competitiveness, and create business value through increased flexibility. As more industrial systems are interconnected and data is shared between stakeholders, the requirements for secure digital solutions increase. Bobby Bridges of AI Sweden highlighted why cybersecurity is a fundamental prerequisite for the connected and data-driven energy systems of the future. <\/p>\n\n

The first partner meeting marked an important step in building the collaboration required to meet the challenges of electrification. Work now continues to turn ideas, experiences and new partnerships into tangible results. <\/p>\n\n

\u2013 A central milestone has been secured: the first automated data flow now links industry\u2019s local systems with analysis environments at, among others, AI Sweden. We are now moving forward with AI-based analysis of energy and power use to build data-driven control models that optimise operations, says Hanna Persson, Project Manager for Electrified Flexible Industry, Chalmers Industriteknik. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
