AVEVA™ Production Management offers an overall Plant Energy Optimization (PEO) solution which aims to help companies improve their energy effectiveness by:
-
Measuring and reducing energy consumption per unit of production.
-
Measuring and reducing energy waste.
-
Identifying energy targets and overconsumption events.
Each of these three of activities contribute to an overall energy solution where you can predict energy consumption, optimize energy usage times, identify energy wastage, and reduce operating costs.
What kind of energy use can AVEVA Production Management capture?
AVEVA™ Production Management can monitor and report on various kinds of energy usage, including the following:
|
Energy |
Measured in (example only) |
|---|---|
|
Water |
Liters or Temperature (°C) |
|
Air (Compressed) |
Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) or Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) |
|
Gas |
Gigajoules (GJ) |
|
Electricity |
Kilowatt hours (KWh) |
|
Steam |
Temperature (°C) or Pressure |
Legislation and regulations
In addition to reducing production costs, your business may have to track energy usage to meet environmental guidelines. The PEO solution assists enterprises reduce their energy consumption while satisfying government reporting requirements, including national baseline improvement programs.
As an example, the two prevalent legislation items in Australia are:
-
Energy Efficiencies Opportunities
-
National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting
Note: The AVEVA™ Production Management PEO solution is not accompanied by report formats that conform to local regulations due to the wide variety of requirements across the geographies. However, AVEVA™ Production Management does conform to mandatory reporting regulations in a number of countries.
