| Improved energy usage through real time data management at an energy service provider |
| |
 |
| |
| The client |
| The customer is an energy service provider offering a wide range of innovative energy-related products, commodities and other services including energy management consultancy. |
| |
| The challenge |
The customer was involved in energy management consultancy for energy efficiency and capital improvement work for one of its largest clients in the US. Ensuring energy efficient operations across their multiple sites will help this client to achieve target savings over a period of time. The customer required an Energy Information System (EIS) for carrying out the following business functions:
 |
Real time monitoring and reporting of energy usage of various commodities like electricity, gas, steam, hot water and chilled water by the central plant and buildings at its client’s campus |
|
Monitoring the usage on the basis of which the EIS calculates the cost of production of chilled water, hot water and steam by central plant equipments like chillers, boilers etc. |
|
Assisting the energy manager in knowing the usage of all the above utilities by individual buildings in the client’s campus in terms of quantity and cost. |
|
| |
| The solution |
Wipro participated in various phases of the project for the development of a custom .NET application, which provides monitoring capabilities to the energy manager and other users. Through this application the usage can be monitored at different levels such as individual meters, group of meters such as buildings, equipments such as chillers and boilers located in the central plant or at the campus. The EIS application that was provided to the customer covered the monitoring sub system, the alarming sub system, cost and other general reports, invoicing, user role and security and back up and archival. The application also provided:
|
An intuitive and rich graphical representation of real time and historical data of energy use at the client’s site (central plant and buildings) |
|
Various general and cost reports for demand and consumption of energy and production and usage of utilities like chilled water, hot water and steam |
|
Numerous graphs and reports, as well as pictorial representation of the campus with visual cues on the picture to indicate areas of concern |
|
The monthly invoice for the central plant as well as other individual buildings in the campus based on usage of energy as well as production & usage of utilities like chilled water, hot water and steam |
|
| |
| The benefits |
|
Improved tracking of any wastage of energy so that it can be minimized and energy saved |
|
Lowered peak load cost by improved monitoring of peak load occurrences in the current day so that the energy manager can analyze and ascertain the way to distribute the load over time |
|
Improved decision making and analytics possible through customizable reports for energy usage that helps the energy manager compare energy utilization cost and energy usage of various buildings and building types in the campus. |
|
Improved flexibility of the EIS application as it was based on reusable components developed in .NET that ensure easier development of future applications. |
