Energy Monitoring

Improving manufacturing efficiency demands constant action. From uncovering operational waste to identifying areas for continuous improvement, we must always pursue a cycle of visualizing, analyzing, and solving energy saving challenges. Together, Dorgean and KBC offer the solutions and services needed to overcome your energy monitoring challenges.

Customer Challenge

Different Companies, Different Challenge

Challenges can vary and range from turning off lights and saving energy in individually powered equipment such as boilers, pumps, and compressors - to overall energy management in factories and companies (FEMS*). Dorgean aims to play a significant role in supporting these energy saving measures for customers worldwide, for a better future.

Our Solutions

Understand and Visualize Your Energy Usage with Visual MESA

The first step in creating an energy saving plan is to understand the current situation. By measuring energy and visualizing it in graphs and reports, we can identify waste and discuss savings targets. At plants with diverse energy sources, it is difficult to fully ascertain usage conditions. In addition to power, we must measure air conditioning, steam flow, and other quantities to understand the comprehensive consumption patterns from the offices to the factories. We can also look at the energy consumption as it relates to the in-service conditions at the factories. While energy is needed to make things, it's not uncommon to discover energy overuse due to the tendency to emphasize quality and ease of manufacture. To continuously work toward energy savings, it is urgent that we visualize energy usage, and develop a comprehensive solution form that point forth.

Customer Benefits

Tailored Solutions Lead to Specific and Continuous Benefits

After having a complete and comprehensive understanding of the current state, facilities are able to set benchmarks and specific goals for what they would like to achieve. Common benefits are as follows:

Gain awareness of operational waste; monitoring these areas to make continuous improvements

Identify sources of waste in real-time

Set energy usage targets at individual factories and offices

Create mechanisms through which anyone, anywhere, anytime can visualize the results of continuos improvements

Enabling Technology

Energy Monitoring Give You What You Need to Ensure Continuous Improvements in Your Energy Saving Efforts

Energy Monitoring is powered by a model-based calculation engine which is the Visual MESA rigorous, first principle, energy calculation software based on the Visual MESA simulation engine. It calculates EnPIs, mass balances and other energy-related data, and has capabilities of Data Validation, Energy Balance and Mass Balance.

Energy balance is calculated based on the energy consumption within boundaries such as each plant or equipment. Mass balance is calculated based on balance error of energy sources such as steam, electricity and fuel.
