Plant Energy Management

In the IMC-AESOP project, a plant energy management use case was developed to highlight advantages of service orientation, event-driven processing and information models for increased performance, easier configuration, dynamic synchronisation and long-term maintenance of complicated multi-layer solutions, which are deployed nowadays in the continuous process plants. From the application perspective, three scenarios were implemented including advanced control and real-time optimisation of an industrial utility plant, enterprise energy management enabling interactions with the external electricity market, and advanced alarm management utilizing the Complex Event Processing technology.
