SUMMARY:The path to green power supply: Energy for green steel production from SMS group’s ECO GRID
DESCRIPTION:The metals industry is on its way to replace the high CO2 emissions generated by the use of fossil fuels with renewable energies in order to achieve climate-neutral steel production. Rising prices for fossil fuels and the increase in CO2 taxes are further incentives for switching to a climate-friendly energy supply.
The time is now for SMS group to make the most of its unique core competencies, technologies, and partnerships to provide all climate-neutral processes from a single source. With its pooled expertise in process and energy management, SMS group is able to connect all plant areas to a cost-efficient power supply network. This is achieved through a central connection to the public AC grid and available renewable energy sources, for instance solar or wind energy, as well as to energy storage units that include battery storage systems. The paper explains, how DC ECO GRID from SMS group connects these to hybrid power networks (AC and DC), thus improving the plants' energy efficiency. 

Thereby a holistic solution from SMS group combines energy management consulting services, a defined business case, the development of concepts and solutions, and the integration of systems – all from a single source. The DC ECO GRID helps to provide a greener, more energy-efficient power supply for steel plants, both new and existing. In this way, it creates a link between a more environmentally friendly metals industry and new green energy supply systems.
