What does a DMES earn at your site?

Fourteen questions and we know enough for a first conversation. They are the same questions our engineers ask about a plant before it is calculated.

Takes about 5 minutes and commits you to nothing. Whatever you do not know yet, simply leave on “not known yet”, it counts against nothing.

What is this about? Where would the system be located? (postcode and town) Sector What do you have in mind first and foremost?

Not clear yet? Then leave it open, we will work it out together.

Energy basis

This covers renewable generation, the surplus you can actually use and the energy size of the project.

Annual electricity consumption

Under 50 MWh/year 50-100 MWh/year 100-200 MWh/year 200-500 MWh/year 500 MWh-1 GWh/year 1-2 GWh/year 2-5 GWh/year Over 5 GWh/year Not known yet

You will find it on the annual statement from your energy supplier. An estimate is enough.

Renewable energy

No renewable energy in place or planned Renewable energy is being considered but not yet concrete An installation is concretely planned Renewable energy is already in place A large renewable generation capacity is in place Several renewable sources, or sources secured long term, are in place

Surplus energy

There is no usable renewable surplus The surplus is small or rarely usable A relevant surplus occurs occasionally A surplus occurs regularly There are large, frequent or curtailed surpluses Not known yet

Which renewable sources are in place or planned?

Photovoltaics Wind power Hydropower Biomass / biogas Renewable grid electricity / PPA Other

Site and permitting

This covers the space available, the technical siting and where you stand on permitting and fire protection.

Space available

There is no suitable space The space available is not known yet Space is tight and conversion work would be required Sufficient space is available in principle Sufficient space and room for expansion are available

Siting

No suitable siting is apparent The siting still has to be examined Siting would only be possible with major adaptations Indoor, outdoor, rooftop or covered siting is possible Several suitable siting options are available

Permitting and fire protection

A permit is unlikely to be possible Permitting and fire protection are still completely open A permit appears possible in principle Authorities or fire protection have already been involved informally A positive preliminary assessment is already in hand

Which type of siting would be an option?

Outdoor siting Container siting Plant room Indoor siting Roof Covered Still to be determined

Use and economics

This covers the use of electricity and heat, the storage duration required and the economic benefit and flexibility potential.

Use of the electricity

The electricity generated cannot be put to sensible use Use would only be possible rarely The electricity can be used regularly The electricity can be used all year round and as needed

Use of the heat

The heat produced cannot be used Use of the heat is still unclear The heat can be used at times The heat can be used regularly The heat can be used all year round at a suitable temperature level

Storage duration required

Storage required only for minutes to a few hours Mainly day to night shifting required Storage over several days required Storage over several weeks required Seasonal or long-term storage required The storage duration required is not known yet

Economic benefit potential

No additional economic benefit is apparent Limited economic benefit is apparent An economic benefit appears possible in principle Relevant energy, grid or operating costs can be reduced Very high economic benefit or flexibility potential The economic potential has not been quantified yet
