    Abstract: A computer-implemented method to control technical equipment that performs a production batch-run of a production process, the technical equipment providing data in a form of time-series from a set of data sources, the data sources being related to the technical equipment, includes: accessing a reference time-series with data from a previously performed batch-run of the production process, the reference time-series being related to a parameter for the technical equipment; and while the technical equipment performs the production batch-run: receiving a production time-series with data, identifying a sub-series of the reference time-series, and comparing the received time-series and the sub-series of the reference time-series, to provide an indication of similarity or non-similarity, in case of similarity, controlling the technical equipment during a continuation of the production batch-run, by using the parameter as control parameter.

    Abstract: A method for producing hydrogen using two types of electrolysis systems, the first having an active DC module and at least one first-type electrolyzer producing a first hydrogen output by using a first power from the active DC module, and the second electrolysis system having a passive DC module and at least one second-type electrolyzer producing a second hydrogen output by using a second power from the passive DC module. The method includes increasing the first hydrogen output and when it crosses a first predefined hydrogen output threshold, switching on the second electrolysis system and decreasing the first hydrogen output of the first electrolysis system to the first predefined hydrogen output threshold minus the second hydrogen output, so that an overall hydrogen output of the hydrogen production plant is a sum of the first hydrogen output and the second hydrogen output.

    Abstract: A method for controlling operation of an electrolyzer plant includes using a first model to determine first operating points for a first period of time; using a second model to simulate operation of the electrolyzer plant for the first operating points for a second period of time that is shorter than and comprised in the first period of time, the second model being a model having higher prediction accuracy for the operation of the electrolyzer plant than the first model, and determining whether the simulated operation meets a predetermined requirement. Upon determining that the simulated operation does not meet the predetermined requirement, adjusting one or more parameters and/or one or more boundary conditions of the first model, and upon determining that the simulated operation meets the predetermined requirement, setting the first operating points as target operating points for the predetermined second period of time.

    Abstract: A method for evaluating an energy efficiency of a second energy consumption scenario of a site includes obtaining a first energy consumption scenario, which comprises a first time-series of energy consumption data of at least one device, and a quality measure of the first energy consumption scenario; obtaining the second energy consumption scenario, which comprises a second time-series of energy consumption data, wherein the second energy consumption scenario has a same or a shorter duration than the first energy consumption scenario; comparing the second time-series of energy consumption data to the first time-series of energy consumption data; and if or when the second time-series of energy consumption data is similar to the first time-series of energy consumption data, outputting the quality measure of the first energy consumption scenario.
