Xin Ni, Ansha Jianfu Cement Company, explains how advanced energy management systems can optimise kiln operations, reduce energy consumption, and ultimately support the cement industry's goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutralisation.
To reduce energy consumption per unit of product and enhance equipment energy efficiency, Ansha Jianfu Cement Company has developed an intelligent industrial system with the help of Fujian Ruixue Information Technology Co., Ltd. This system employs various strategies, including energy programme performance management, energy consumption monitoring, energy balance analysis, statistical analysis of key energy-use equipment, and early warning management.
Energy-intensive work-quality data, equipment temperature and pressure, and other data are transmitted to the RI-RMS intelligent expert big data diagnosis system which screens, packages, analyses, and provides reference for Ansha Jianfu's energy management decision makers. This allows enterprise managers to have an accurate grasp of the proportion of energy cost and energy consumption trends of the enterprise, and break down the energy consumption plan of the enterprise into the various production department workshops, making the responsibility of energy saving work clear, and realising the closed-loop form of energy management.
The RI-RMS system is designed to achieve energy prediction, balance optimisation, and significant reductions in energy consumption. It serves as an integrated information platform that monitors the entire energy usage process within the enterprise, facilitating effective information management and optimised scheduling. Through real-time monitoring of actual energy consumption, the system conducts comprehensive analysis and scientific processing to ensure robust monitoring and management of energy use. This provides the enterprise with the most efficient operational strategies while supporting sustainable energy development. It is essential to continually tap into the potential for energy conservation, enabling businesses to achieve their goals of energy efficiency enhancement and environmental protection.
To analyse the energy efficiency status through the energy management system a benchmarking index system should be established. This can help enterprises to provide data support when formulating energy saving improvement plans and technical routes the system. As an evaluation tool, the system outputs enhanced data to assist enterprises in reducing costs and achieving their energy-saving goals.
