Securing quality, competitiveness, and low environmental impact of final industrial products by changing conditions in the energy market requires extended efforts from the industry side. More specifically, the ongoing increase of RES' share in energy mix and the European targets on energy efficiency in industry have several implications, as well on technical aspects (additional requirements on flexibility, control reserve, dispatchable power generation, demand side management, energy storage), as also on economic aspects (decrease of whole sale electricity price, increase of taxes and surcharges, disruptive business models). In this changing landscape the task of matching energy supply with energy use following a continuous optimization process becomes of prime importance. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has developed ENERGY CLOUD Service, an integrated toolbox of solutions assisting large energy users to overcome these challenges. It may support customer's needs in different operating levels, from a) performance monitoring, visualization and O&M optimization, to b) data analysis and evaluation for plant engineering level to c) providing information to management to supporting strategic decisions. Additionally, TOMONI is MHPS's state of the art condition monitoring and maintenance optimization tool, which utilizes advances AI techniques. ENERGY CLOUD Service and TOMONI utilize MHI's and MHPS's vast industrial know how and own developed AI technology, in order to use operating data towards optimization of operation and maintenance of assets and overall plants. In the present paper additional information about successful implementation cases of ENERGY CLOUD Service and TOMONI are reported. |
