Fraunhofer IGB has developed an Edge Device that connects to existing biogas plant control systems and layers AI-driven operational optimization on top without requiring changes to current infrastructure. The device consolidates sensor data, operating histories, electricity price forecasts, and weather data to recommend when a plant should store gas and when it should run its combined heat and power unit to maximize revenue. With a 2027 amendment to Germany’s Renewable Energy Sources Act expected to reward flexible generation, biogas plants will increasingly need to supply electricity specifically when solar and wind output is low. Germany operates nearly 10,000 biogas plants, and for many, the timing of grid feed-in will determine economic viability. The system processes all data locally without requiring cloud transfer, giving operators full control over what leaves the plant.
