Monitoring and Tracking Your Progress
"If you can't measure it, you can't manage it!"Is your plant performing at maximum economic capacity and efficiency? Achieving performance improvement begins with a process of identifying and quantifying plant energy use. Having access to energy data provides a powerful tool for effectively managing energy supply and consumption in your plant. Energy metering and controls, along with real-time tracking systems have the potential to build energy management information systems that are critical to decision making. | |
Energy Metering and ControlsData that is supplied by an energy metering system is converted into information, and ultimately intelligence, at which point energy decisions can be made. Savings are achieved as a result of people acting on energy metering information, not by the metering itself. Metering is typically accompanied by control systems that respond to changes in usage and demand patterns as well as energy-efficiency measures that are implemented to improve performance. In general, energy savings estimates from the use of metering systems with appropriate control responses and energy efficiency can range from 5-25%. | |
Real Time Internet-Based TrackingEmerging in today's markets are internet-based tracking systems that allow the monitoring of facility systems during real-time operation. This level of information provides critical results that help maximize a facility's operations and energy management potential. Web-based energy tracking and utility bill management tools can provide integrated solutions with control and automation systems. |
