Description
The aim of the project is the development of software for the energy management and operational optimization in industrial plants which, through data extraction, monitoring, metering and application of data mining techniques, provides the user with a comprehensive overview of the energy structure of the process, as well as real-time guidelines of its best achievable operation. This work is a further development of former studies within the line of research of the company; it involves the investigation of advanced techniques of energy efficiency improvement analysis, data gathering, processing, modelling and optimization, for the subsequent implementation of the developed tools as commercial software. The investigation will specially focus on real time optimization, matter that frequently presents high technical difficulties in process plants, whose complexity often affects the reliability of results if no advanced data mining techniques are implemented. Business intelligence technology will be used as a developing environment, with the aim of creating products available for its implementation in a wide range of industrial plants.
Summary of project results
Although industry plants become more and more conscious about the importance of saving energy, it is well known that punctual actions focused on reducing energy consumption are not able to consolidate energy savings over time. ENMO project arises to give response to this problem, by the development of an advanced software for the metering, energy savings following and optimization of energy consumption. The Company will centre its commercial activity in most intensive energy consumption plants in industry. The aim of this project has been the development of a software for energy management and operational optimization in industrial plants, which provides the user with a comprehensive overview of the energy structure of the process, as well as real-time guidelines of its best achievable operation, giving this companies a considerable impact in reducing their energy bills. ENMO project has allowed the success of this objective.
