FEMS (Factory Energy Management System) / Renkei Control for Utility Facilities

Sectors
Objective
Opportunities enabled
Country
Japan

Minimizing energy consumption (or CO2 emission) by optimizing equipment selection and load distribution of energy conversion and storage facilties which comprise utility plants.

Cost of primary energy in utility plants could reach as much as 10 million USD/yr. Typical application includes refineries, petrochemical, paper, cement, textiles, fertilizer, large FA plants, district heating and cooling systems.
