NC EMS Cement Grinding Area
Heavy industrial energy management system designed specifically for plant grinding circuits. Connect to SCADA via OPC UA, monitor Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) in real time, dynamically schedule operations around complex tariff rate tables, and calculate optimal equipment setpoints that directly influence the SEC.
Key Capabilities of NC EMS
NC EMS implements a robust three-stage energy management pipeline directly on-premise, resolving the challenges of multi-megawatt heavy industrial processes.
1. OPC UA SCADA Telemetry
Continuous read-only connection to SCADA tag networks, calculating performance KPIs with zero process interference.
- SEC tracking (kWh/ton)
- Real-time Power Factor monitoring
- Watchdog tag status heartbeats
- Local persistent timeseries store
2. MILP Tariff Scheduling
Mathematical program solving optimal equipment status tables over upcoming 24-hour schedules to avoid high peak charges.
- Advanced MILP optimization engine
- Automated peak-tariff load shedding
- Local XLSX tariff parsing engine
- Peak avoidance savings tracking
3. Equipment Setpoints
Joint optimization model searching feed rates, fan flow volumes, and separator speeds for absolute minimum specific power draw.
- SEC target limit constraints
- Mill Feed Rate optimization
- Fan speed & flow optimization
- Separator Classifier RPM tuning
