Energy Consumption Online Monitoring System for Smart Factories

With the rapid advancement and development of science and technology, Chinese manufacturing enterprises are also striving to reduce costs and respond to the call for energy conservation and emission reduction to achieve higher efficiency and productivity. Factories are gradually evolving towards digitalized, intelligent, and green facilities. The smart factory energy management and control system collects data from energy-consuming equipment of existing energy-using units (such as water, electricity, gas, etc.), monitors the energy consumption of various equipment in real-time, and conducts statistical analysis of energy consumption data. Based on the system analysis results, it provides energy-saving strategies and equipment control to achieve effective energy conservation.

The energy management system can be broadly divided into the following aspects:

1. Energy types and consumption management: The system covers various types of energy used by enterprises, whether basic resources like water and electricity or specific ones like coal and steam. Different data can be recorded using various data recording methods, and energy consumption rationality is judged according to standards.

2. Real-time reporting: By building an online energy consumption monitoring system, enterprises can integrate energy usage information in real-time with provincial platforms and report it to relevant national authorities.

3. Evaluation and analysis: Beyond monitoring, the energy management system can calculate, analyze, and compare collected energy consumption data, enabling enterprises and management departments to grasp information and implement relevant measures or energy-saving transformations based on it.

4. Risk management: For various malfunctions or unreasonable energy consumption situations that occur during the production process, the system will promptly notify management personnel, analyze the faults, and provide results for reference by maintenance staff or other relevant personnel.

As the nation develops with the times, it requires key energy-consuming enterprises to establish and improve online energy consumption monitoring systems. This is not only a step for enterprises to plan their future direction but also an important measure for the state to monitor the energy usage of key energy-consuming enterprises.

Main Functions:

Collect and aggregate the enterprise's energy consumption data through metering instruments, industrial control systems, etc., and upload the data to provincial platforms or directly to the national platform;

Key energy-consuming units must ensure the security of internal systems and data through safety measures such as network gates and isolation in their access systems;

The system must support remote upgrades and maintenance, one-end multi-transmission, receiving platform-pushed information, and functions required for the energy management of the units themselves.

The online energy consumption monitoring system is an energy online monitoring and analysis management system centered on energy conservation and consumption reduction, based on the Internet of Things and big data analysis. It is a platform that comprehensively monitors, diagnoses, and analyzes the energy consumption and working conditions of energy-saving equipment, main process equipment, and primary energy-consuming equipment in key energy-consuming units.
