Software
The EINSTEIN software guides the user through the whole design process spanning from data acquisition, processing and estimation to the design and quantitative (energy and economic) evaluation of alternative design options.
The EINSTEIN software contains as major features:
- structured data collection and processing (status-quo; definition/forecasting of requirements), including consistency and completeness checking and data estimation where necessary
- data analysis giving a detailed breakdown of energy consumption as a function of time and temperature level
- assisted design of system options (incl. pinch analysis, algortithms for selection of appropriate technologies and predimensioning of new equipment)#
- dynamic system simulation, supporting „quick set-up“ of simulations without need for large amount of input settigns (e.g. no need for manual configuration of system hydraulics or control strategies)
- economic and environmental analysis
- structured semi-automatic reporting
