Energy is an unpredictable and critical production factor –many production managers know that but few do anything about it.
Forecast electricity, steam and fuel consumption, maximize efficiency by load scheduling, optimize generation versus electricity purchase, manage electricity purchase and sales transactions, monitor and control peak loads, energy balance and efficiency, and support decision making with simulation and “what-if” analysis capabilities.
- Know energy needs using sophisticated planning tools for forecasting electricity and steam demand and planning energy use
- Meet energy needs at minimum cost with resource optimization and production scheduling
- Support electricity sales and purchase in the open market, including timing and pricing transactions
- Avoid peak tariffs through load planning, tie line monitoring and load shedding
- Enhance awareness of energy generation, use and purchases for improved cost effectiveness
