nPro is used by a wide range of companies involved in the planning, evaluation, or operation of energy systems. The main user groups include engineering offices, consulting companies, and energy utilities and municipal utilities.
nPro for different user groups
The requirements for planning energy systems vary depending on the company and project. Engineering offices often use nPro for feasibility studies, energy concepts, and technical planning. Consulting companies use the software for tasks such as scenario comparisons, transformation strategies, and economic analyses. Energy utilities and municipal utilities use nPro to evaluate heat networks, generation portfolios, and future energy supply concepts.
nPro combines technical simulation, economic evaluation, and optimization in a single software solution and can therefore be used flexibly for a wide range of planning tasks.
- Engineering offices – for feasibility studies, energy concepts, and technical planning
- Consulting companies – for scenario comparisons, transformation strategies, and economic analyses
- Energy utilities and municipal utilities – for heat networks, generation portfolios, and future energy supply concepts
"The software is great for quick sizing of district heating networks, especially in districts with existing buildings."
Companies that use nPro
Used by companies such as
One software solution for many planning tasks
nPro is particularly suitable for projects in which different technical solutions need to be investigated before the final system configuration has been determined. Typical applications include:
- Feasibility and concept studies for buildings and districts
- Planning and comparison of district heating and cooling networks
- Development of decarbonization and transformation concepts
- Sizing and optimization of generation and storage technologies
- Technical and economic comparison of different scenarios
- Analysis of renewable energy potentials and sector-coupled energy systems
This allows different energy supply concepts to be investigated at an early project stage without having to create a highly detailed simulation model for every possible solution.
"I have been using nPro for over two years. The tool is ideal for concept development and for clearly visualizing results. Its structured approach makes processes significantly more efficient and helps save valuable time."
From small planning offices to large energy utilities
nPro is used by small specialized planning and consulting offices as well as larger engineering, consulting, and utility companies. Thanks to its modular structure, the level of detail can be adapted to the respective project phase – from an initial concept study to more advanced technical planning.
"nPro is perfectly suited to our applications. It enables us to design district heating networks and evaluate multiple scenarios in a very short time. No other tool offers this level of scope and detail."
