Manufacturing Plant
A gas meter was installed in a manufacturing plant to record real-time natural gas usage.
Project Quick Facts
- Manufacturing plant has three natural gas molding machines and ovens
- Measured natural gas usage was aligned with the utility bill
Project Phases
- Phase 1: Install gas meter and build an operating envelope to learn how gas is used during the day and to develop period comparisons
- Phase 2: Upgrade oven control system, histories data, and provide machine learning algorithms to improve unit operations and efficiency
- Phase 3: Add power meter to solar and main power to develop a total energy balance and build out optimization algorithms
