Bridging the Gap: Integrating Power and Process Dynamics for Energy-Intensive Projects

About this event

Join the Energy Industries Council and Schneider Electric for an insightful webinar exploring how integrated digital engineering can help reduce project risk, optimise performance, and improve collaboration across the full asset lifecycle.

As energy transition projects become increasingly complex, developers and operators face growing challenges in managing the interaction between electrical infrastructure and process systems. Projects involving hydrogen, ammonia, SAF, LNG, CCUS, and e-LNG demand greater operational flexibility, resilience, and integration than ever before.

During this session, Schneider Electric will demonstrate how EcoStruxure™ Power & Process delivers a unified digital framework that integrates electrical and process lifecycles across every project stage — from initial design and construction through to long-term operations and maintenance.

A key focus of the webinar will be Co-Simulation, an advanced capability that enables integrated dynamic modelling of electrical power systems and process plants within a single environment. By combining ETAP for electrical network and transient behaviour with AVEVA Dynamic Simulation (ADS) for process dynamics, both domains can interact in real time under realistic operating conditions.

This integrated approach addresses a critical gap in complex, energy-intensive projects, where electrical and process systems are tightly coupled and influenced by renewable intermittency, large motor loads, and advanced power electronics.

Attendees will discover how Co-Simulation enables project teams to validate control philosophies, equipment sizing, and operating envelopes early in FEED and pre-FEED phases — well before commissioning begins. The session will also explore how scenarios such as renewable ramps, BESS response, electrolyser load changes, grid disturbances, and process upsets can be assessed more accurately using a shared physics-based digital model.

Key discussion points include:

• Reducing technical and execution risk through early detection of power-process interactions and control limitations
• Optimising CapEx and OpEx through right-sizing of BESS, generators, converters, and storage systems
• Improving operational resilience and availability under variable renewable energy conditions
• Enhancing collaboration between EPCs, OEMs, and asset owners through a shared digital environment
