Overview

Project Background

Prakash Industries Limited, an integrated steel and power producer with captive thermal generation, engaged Ingro Energy for comprehensive energy analysis and BESS feasibility assessment. The company operates sponge iron, ferro alloy, and steel billets manufacturing facilities alongside captive power plants, a load profile that creates significant opportunities for BESS-based optimization of grid exchange, demand management, and energy arbitrage.

The Challenge

What the Client Faced

1

Generation-load mismatch, captive thermal output doesn't match the factory's dynamic load profile, creating costly grid exchange and DSM penalties

2

High contractual demand, steel manufacturing processes create sharp load peaks risking breaches of contractual limits

3

Infirm power management, excess captive generation either curtailed or exported at suboptimal rates

4

Tariff arbitrage potential, time-of-day differentials and Exchange spot prices create monetization opportunities requiring sophisticated optimization

5

Legacy monitoring, limited visibility into real-time energy flows making optimization reactive

The Ingro Solution

What We Delivered

Comprehensive Data Analysis: 1-second interval boundary meter data analysis characterizing generation patterns, load profiles, and import/export dynamics

Digital Twin: Dynamic model of the facility's electrical network to simulate BESS integration scenarios before committing capital

BESS Sizing Optimization: Parametric analysis of multiple configurations for optimal power/energy ratio and maximum ROI

Exchange Integration Modeling: Hybrid strategies combining infirm energy capture with Exchange DAM/RTM trading with full cost accounting

Financial Projections: Detailed payback analysis with sensitivity to tariff changes, degradation, and utilization rates
