The electrification of production processes is one of the key steps to reduce the CO₂ footprint of the chemical industry, thus exploiting the increase of the generation of electric power from renewable sources. Power from renewables is subject to large fluctuations. This implies the need to adapt the operation of the processing plants to the availability of power from renewables to fully exploit the potential to reduce the CO₂ footprint. This requires flexibility of the design and the application of demand-response techniques where the demand of the plants is adapted to the supply. This also contributes to the stabilization of the power grids and to the reduction of cost. In this article, we review demand-response techniques to operate plants dynamically in view of the availability and the price of electric power. Such adaptation requires the forecasting of the generation from renewables and of the price of electric power.

生产过程的电气化是减少化学工业CO _{2足迹的关键步骤之一，从而利用可再生能源发电量的增加。}来自可再生能源的电力波动很大。这意味着需要使加工厂的运营适应可再生能源的可用性，以充分利用减少 CO _2的潜力脚印。这需要设计的灵活性和需求响应技术的应用，使工厂的需求适应供应。这也有助于稳定电网和降低成本。在本文中，我们回顾了根据电力的可用性和价格动态运行工厂的需求响应技术。这种适应需要预测可再生能源的发电量和电力价格。
