STRUCTese® – Energy efficiency management for the process industry
2013
Abstract Besides the development of future energy concepts energy efficiency today offers a powerful and cost-effective tool for achieving a sustainable energy future. Successful reduction of energy consumption and emissions requires a systematic approach. Thereby, energy management systems help to successfully reduce the energy consumption and CO 2 e emissions. In the present work, a Structured Efficiency System for Energy ( STRUCTese ® ) was developed, which allows the detailed measurement and tracking of energy efficiency in contrast to measuring mere energy consumption. STRUCTese ® provides full transparency about the status quo and the further improvement potential up to the limit of best available technology. Results for a real plant are presented which show the benefit of such a transparent visualization of energy efficiency. The work shows how the difficult task to measure and improve energy efficiency in a chemical plant can be mastered.
