Created an Energy Management Web site with real-time data leveraging an existing SAP portal used for HR data

Consolidate utility data from disparate legacy systems

Identify conservation efforts and aggressively act to improve plant processes

Use RtPortal iViews to improve communication

Use daily trends/usage data to reduce costs and plan long-term strategic development

Solution

To implement an Energy Information System

Empower employees to take action to conserve energy

Lack of centralized knowledge on processes make optimization difficult

Lack of real-time data in the decision making processes

Challenge

Optimization of generation assets

More conservation opportunities emerge as the real-time state of usage conditions become visible

Savings resulting from more effective use of labs with fume hoods nearly offset the capital cost of the OSIsoft implementation.

By observing real-time trends of electrical usage, they have been able to target high energy consuming systems for improvement
