3. The Energy Management system (EMS)
9 Aspects considered for development of an EMS according to DIN EN ISO 50001
» An EMS is a Management system, similar to others, e.g. ISO 14001 » An EMS needs a strong support by Management » The Company has a commitment for efficient usage of energy and energy targets » Sufficient personel and money has to be planned » A responsible Energy Management commissioner has to be named, this person is reporting directly to Management » All production units have to be included » Processes should be transparent and documented » A Data Storage system has to be installed. All data have to be comprehensible; » Data validation is very important. » Energy flows have to be analysed, opportunities for energy optimization demonstrated » Internal audits for each production unit have to be done; annual Management Review fo the whole company.
10 EMS Aurubis Hamburg Costs and Benefits
» Costs for Aurubis site Hamburg Costs 1 Mio.€, mostly for metering hardware; existing PI System for the production has been extended. Total metering units: app. 2.000 units
» The EMS Hamburg is tested and certificated by the German TÜV.
» This is a prerequisite for EEG (renewable energy law) tax exemption in Germany
» Benefits for the site » Necessity because of EEG reduction
» Database for CO2-Certificates trading 3.HP (ETS) » Energy optimization and energy saving » Transparency and Energy accounting on demand
11 Data Security, Analyses, Energy reports
Display All meterings in PLC and via OPC on PC‘s (by using a buffer) to PI Server
All metering data stored in PI Server; Specific calculations (PE, ACE, AF)
Energy Reports Analyses The EMS-Server is used for Energy accounting, related to SAP cost accounting positions, and archived the results in a SQL-Database; SAP interface via XML
No direct access from EMS to PLC/DCS SAP
12 Intelligent combination of PI and SQL-DB
All data written in SQL-DB PI-data
SAP-data Monthly data for • measurement Read out • cost center (water meter) • cost center group
Oracle-DB (electr. counter) These data are essential for Manual input • Monthly calculations and balances • Energy optimazation projects The Importer • emission trading system (ETS) is the all-in-one Gateway, developed by PlantSoft
13 Example for SQL-templates
Using Microsoft Excel
14 The SQL-Query
Using Microsoft Excel and the add-in sql query, SQL-queries can be made easily, referring to cells in Excel.
15 Technical organisation of EMS Hamburg
PI-Server power plant RWN
cast plant Ethernet chemical plant
Using existing infrastructure acid plant » installed measurements in the plant existing data path » rod plant » existing PI-Server smelter tankhouse » existing Software (ProcessBook)
16 All over 30 different energy types are in the EMS Start mask
17 Flow of nat.gas has to be monitored
18 Maximum consumption of nat.gas has to be checked
19 electricity – prognosis from SQL-DB vs. consumption monitored in PI
20 A typical user electricity grid
21 PI-NotifyMe
In case of defined situations, PI-NotifyMe sends
» E-Mails » SMS
22 Detailed presentations are necessary for energy optimization
23 Compression of measured energy data to total sum at Aurubis site in Hamburg example: nat.gas measurement converter (smelter) 10000 Plant Hamburg Nat.gas converter 1 Cost center KST-group Area-KST-group Division 12000 Nat.gas 661 12220 12200 (primary converter 2 (converters) (converters + (converters + copper) Nat.gas anode ovens) anode ovens) converter 3
More measurement more cost center More measurement
24 Compression of the Sites Costs to Total Company Costs in SAP (w/o third party companies)
25 The energy report (part 1)
26 The energy report (part 2)
27 Expansion of EMS to different sites (Pirdop Bulgaria, Stolberg, Lünen, Straß,…)
The EMS is used companywide via Internet by using a keycode
