Smart energy management system

• Tailor-made solutions help PetroChina Southwest Oil & Gasfield and PetroChina            Fushun Petrochemical effectively manage energy usage at all of their facilities
• Mr. Energy 50001 adopted by major Taiwanese firms — including TSMC, LCY  Chemical, and Delta Electronics — providing remote energy management

Advanced solutions for a diverse range of industries

CTCI Advanced Systems Inc. (CTCI ASI) is an affiliate of CTCI, an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) services provider operating in markets all over the world. CTCI ASI — a leading provider of solutions in the hydrocarbon, power generation, general industry, rail transportation, aerospace and high-tech industries — aims to become a supplier of smart solutions in Taiwan. It combines decades of experience in process control and design with Industry 4.0 trends and even artificial intelligence to create smart manufacturing solutions, and also has numerous achievements in the petrochemical, specialized industry and smart energy management systems fields.

In recent years, awareness about environmental protection has increased, which has made energy conservation and carbon reduction movements popular.

However, instead of only emphasizing turning off unused lights, CTCI ASI — which has numerous achievements in intelligent energy system projects in Taiwan and China — has developed a smart energy management system to more effectively use and monitor power.

Addressing the challenges of global warming with technology

Due to the increasingly severe effects of climate change, sustainable development has become a priority globally. This has led to domestic and international firms realizing the importance of using highly energy-efficient equipment and employing effective energy management.

According to the International Energy Agency’s “Energy Technology Perspectives” report, greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere must be stabilized and diminished in line with the Kyoto Protocol’s reduction targets for 2050. Among the possible technologies to reach this goal that the report highlighted, the most immediately feasible and cost-minimizing measure is to improve energy efficiency at the user end.

Effective and convenient energy management through the web-based Mr. Energy 50001 system

Real-time energy management can help to improve the efficiency of a facility’s operations, identify potential waste, and determine energy-saving solutions. As such, energy efficiency must be constantly monitored.

CTCI ASI has developed the Mr. Energy 50001 energy management system, which provides operators with the capability to remotely administer the energy usage of each factory. The platform features a web-based interface, which enables users to easily pull up information for reference in meetings and allows separate facilities to cross-reference and discuss usage, achieving the goal of intelligent management.

The sophisticated and streamlined hardware for the platform — which complies with the ISO 50001 standard — is comprised of small embedded systems that simplify installation and prevent security issues. It can be used in a wide range of sectors, such as the electronics, petrochemical, and traditional industries.

The system allows for the simultaneous monitoring of multiple energy sources, allowing users to set, modify and combine performance indicators to create action plans. Changes to parameters in the action plans are reported to dedicated personnel, providing an information integration platform.

Adoption by TSMC, LCY Chemical, Oriental Petrochemical and other major Taiwanese firms

CTCI ASI Marketing & Sales Division Vice President Chase Liu said that these advantages have seen the platform adopted by several major Taiwanese companies, including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), LCY Chemical Corp., Chimei Corp., and Oriental Petrochemical (Taiwan) Co.

TSMC has adopted the Mr. 50001 system, linking it to all of its facilities in Taiwan for on-site data collection and into the alarm system for immediate alerts, he said.

Other major domestic firms that have adopted the system include Taiwan CFI Co., Ltd. in the panel industry, power supply unit maker Delta Electronics Inc, Taiwan Glass Industry Corp. and Ho Yu Textile Co. Ltd., he added.

CTCI ASI is also in talks with government agencies about using the Mr. 50001 system to meet its energy management requirements, Liu said, adding that reliable smart solutions will continue to contribute to the development of industry.

Complete, customized solutions help PetroChina Southwest Oil & Gasfield and PetroChina Fushun Petrochemical save energy

Many large Chinese companies have made commitments at international conferences to save energy, but have struggled to find an energy management system that would provide an effective and systematic understanding of the energy use at their factories to help reach that goal, Liu said.

The customizability of the Mr. Energy 50001 system has allowed for the creation of a complete set of tailor-made services to help these companies solve problems related to control, management, maintenance and energy consumption, he said.

PetroChina Southwest Oil & Gasfield Co. has more than 10 production plants, three of which were selected for initial deployment and testing, Liu said, adding that after all project requirements were met through custom adjustments, all of the firm’s facilities were eventually introduced to the system.

PetroChina Fushun Petrochemical Co. then also adopted the Mr. Energy 50001 management system, he added.
