HCH Energy SolutionsLoad profile analysis & energy data

Turning energy data
into decisions.

Why does energy use remain high after production stops? What causes your demand peaks? We help you find the answers in your data.

Our approach

Your energy bills show the cost. Your load profile helps explain it.

You want to know where your energy goes and which changes are worth pursuing. We relate your energy data to the equipment and day-to-day operation of your business.

We start with the information you already have. Together, we decide whether additional metering or monitoring would help you make better decisions.

Example analyses

Energy data.
Technically explained.

Heat flows, storage, fleets and energy indicators reveal different aspects of an operation. These approved analyses are examples without client attribution. The technical assessment always reflects the individual project.

Waste heat · temperature levels

Matching heat sources and heat sinks

Temperature levels and heat flows show which waste-heat sources could match a heat demand. A practical solution also depends on operating times, transfer losses and the equipment required.

Energy flows · waste-heat use

Heat flows at the site

The widths of the flows represent annual heat quantities. The analysis distinguishes potentially usable waste heat from unused quantities and losses. Technical and economic feasibility need a separate project assessment.

Investment · discounted cash flow

PV and battery-storage economics

Discounted cash flows show when the investment is recovered in this scenario. Payback, net present value and internal rate of return complement the storage-cycle and electricity-cost indicators. The result depends on the assumptions used.

Fleet · comparison over time

Fleet comparison: 2023 and 2025

Vehicles are compared across both years. The moving bubbles show changes in annual distance, annual diesel consumption and energy input per 100 km. Select a year or pause the animation to compare individual vehicles.

Fleet comparison 2023 and 2025Each bubble represents one vehicle. Horizontal position shows annual distance in thousand km, vertical position annual diesel consumption in thousand litres. Colours distinguish vehicle categories M1, N1, N2 and N3. Bubble size represents energy input in kWh per 100 km. The years have 178 and 163 displayed vehicles, of which 119 can be matched. Dotted lines mark 6, 11.08, 20 and 30 litres per 100 km. Intermediate positions only illustrate the transition between the two years.Fleet analysis by vehicle03691215010203040506070Diesel consumption per vehicle [thousand l/a]Annual distance per vehicle [thousand km/a]6 l/100 km11.08 l/100 km20 l/100 km30 l/100 kmVehicle categoryM1 – Passenger carN1 – LCV ≤ 3.5 tN2 – CV 3.5–12 tN3 – CV > 12 tBubble size: energy input [kWh/100 km]60120200280

The transition illustrates the two annual states. Intermediate positions are not measurements. Vehicles only present in one year fade in or out.

Automatic motion is disabled by your device preference. Select a year to compare the two views.

Heat demand · weather and operation

Daily gas-energy signature

Each point relates one day's gas consumption to the daily mean temperature. Differences between autumn and spring indicate operating or other seasonal influences. The pattern helps identify questions for a closer technical assessment.

Energy performance · baseline comparison

Energy performance against a baseline

The baseline and assessment periods are compared with the heating-degree-day driver. The reference line helps identify changes at similar conditions. A conclusion about improved efficiency requires checking other relevant operating influences.

Thermal storage · winter operation

Thermal storage in winter

Storage fill level, heat demand and heat generation show how charging and discharging interact during the displayed January period. The separate lighting curve provides operating context. Fill level and thermal power use different axes.

Thermal storage · summer operation

Thermal storage in summer

The displayed July period shows how storage operation changes with a lower and more variable heat demand. Read the fill level together with generation and demand. Compare patterns using the respective axis units.
