The Biomass Control Solution (BCS® Suite) by VOIGT+WIPP Engineers is the innovative, precisely fitting control product for modern biomass heating (power) plants. More than 10 years ago, the first BCS-FLR was used in a wood-fired power plant. The development was derived from our innovative control concepts for large-scale power plants. Through this technological application we were and are able to achieve results above the industry standard. The development has continued steadily since then. In addition to the first module of fire power control, further modules were added such as buffer storage management, load hierarchy management, bad point control or de-swathing control. The peak load boiler control module was also included from the very beginning. The result is a control concept that has been tested many times and proven in practical use, which is supported by various toolboxes. The toolboxes can be online calculations of the calorific value or the fuel moisture, but also other soft sensors such as support values for temperatures in hard-to-reach places are used. This means that the BCS Suite can be adapted and used very quickly and individually to existing conditions. Sustainable benefits The benefits are manifold – quiet, optimally controlled combustion, higher efficiency, longer plant travel time and constant compliance with limit values – to name just a few of the benefits.
Depending on the size of the boiler and the complexity of the system, implementation takes place in a tightly structured project procedure.
The potential study at the beginning makes optimization potential clearly quantifiable and leads to a fact-based customer decision on the form in which the optimization is implemented. Know-how transfer for practitioners In our webinar series “Maximum fuel expansion in wood-fired heating (power) plants”, we were able to encourage active exchange at practitioner level.
With technical practical impulses and an open exchange, it is an interesting platform for decision-makers in wood-fired (heating) power plants. BCS Cloud – your meaningful data portal Thanks to intensive development work, the BCS Suite installed on site with the functionalities defined on site with correspondingly secure data connection can be optimally integrated into the supplementary cloud solution provided.
The BCS Cloud is equipped with well-founded, comprehensive IT security concepts and impresses with maximum availability.
Savings are visible online, operations are visualized transparently and the required reporting and evaluations of environmental performance are simple.
A wide range of evaluations can be supplemented by computer-intensive applications (artificial intelligence) if desired and appropriate.
You benefit from a holistic view of your plant as well as a clear presentation of KPIs and benchmarking.
BCS Cloud provides you with a company-specific portal.
If you have several power plants with BCS, BCS Cloud also allows you to bundle data from several locations. This allows you to benefit from a holistic visualisation and evaluation of your data as well as from cross-system reporting. The integrated role-based authorization concept and multi-factor authentication ensure the optimal use of your data. Your benefits 
- Plant overview makes plant performance visible
- Savings potentials are recognised and can be used in a targeted manner
- More uniform operation across all shifts
- Optimisation of material usage
- Increase in energy efficiency
- Reporting according to EU taxonomy
“Henry Ford already recognized that improvement and progress are the foundation for sustainable success – these principles are still essential principles of lean management today and are also the basis for sustainable energy efficiency for us.
In addition to lower operating costs due to the improvement in overall efficiency and the consistently efficient operation of your biomass heating (power) plant, optimizing your biomass heating (power) plant with our BCS® Suite also makes a significant contribution to climate protection by significantly reducing emissions and operating resources.
