cpmPlus Energy ManagerGeneral Factsheet
The cpmPlus Energy Manager is a modern Windows-based software
package to implement real-time energy management solutions for
industrial customers.
The modular solution provides an initial package of basic energy
monitoring and reporting. This can be later expanded to provide
complete optimisation of energy use and supply for the entire
facility. For a corporate customer multiple facilities can be
integrated to provide a company-wide solution and to allow
comparisons, benchmarking and sharing best practices between the
production facilities.
The configuration of cpmPlus Energy Manager and the main
application modules are outlined in Figure 1 below.
cpmPlus Energy Manager provides seamless integration with ABBs
System 800xA, and can be connected with other data sources through
OPC connectivity.
The main application modules of cpmPlus Energy Manager are the
following:
Energy Monitoring and Reporting - Module 1 Energy Load Planning
- Module 2 Energy Optimisation - Module 3
ABB Consultings Energy team works with customers to install and
configure cpmPlus systems. We can then help to exploit the powerful
information provided by the system to reduce energy costs as part
of our Industrial Energy Efficiency (IEE) programme.

Energy Monitoring and Reporting - Module 1
Measuring energy consumption of equipment is the basis for
energy efficiency improvement. Energy Manager calculates energy
efficiencies and provides easy-to-use visual tools for monitoring
and targeting to identify in real time the areas where improvement
is required. Functions:
Measured energy consumption Costs and energy efficiencies
Setting targets for energy consumption Monitoring actual
performance against targets Uniform report and display templates
Customer specific reports and process displays Analysis tools to
analyse energy consumption Alarms to alert operators to take
action
Energy Load Planning - Module 2
The Energy Load Planning module calculates the predicted energy
consumption schedules based on the production data and other
correlating parameters. The consumption schedules can be sent to
the energy suppliers or used as the basis for energy supply
planning. Functions:
Calculation of predicted energy consumption Accumulation of
consumer level specific consumption
patterns into total facility consumption Can predict several
utilities per consumer,
e.g. electric power, steam, gas, water, oil. Predicted
consumption is based on planned production
schedules and historical performance of the consumers
Energy Optimisation - Module 3
Based on the predicted energy consumption schedules, the Energy
Optimisation module calculates the optimum use of supply resources
to meet the consumption schedules at minimum total cost. Selected
consumer operating schedules can be optimised based on energy cost.
The Energy Optimisation module includes the following
functions:
Optimisation of the use of supply resources to meet the
predicted consumption at minimum total cost
Optimisation of running schedules for selected consumers based
on minimum energy cost and given restrictions
Optimisation utilises a real-time LP / MILP optimisation
environment and economic flow network, in which the energy process
is divided into logical sub-processes which are connected to each
other through a flow network
Optimises the complete energy flow network in real-time when any
of the input parameters change, allowing the facility operators and
management to maintain the most cost-effective operating mode in
changing production conditions
BenefitsABBs cpmPlus Energy Manager can significantly reduce
your site energy bill and increase productivity through
identification of best practice opportunities in site utilities and
processes, assessment of behaviours & practices and monitoring
& targeting strategies.
