Interval Power Data Analytics for Smart Manufacturing
This talk comprehensively explores the impact of interval power data analysis on advancing sustainability, profitability, and competitiveness in advanced manufacturing facilities. The collection of interval power data at various time intervals offers a valuable resource for real-time as well as historical analysis, with significant benefits. This study encompasses both real-time and historical data utilization, focusing on several key aspects such as power factor analysis, peak demand identification, load factor analysis, on-peak and off-peak energy utilization and their percentages, year-by-year comparisons of energy and power use normalized by weather and production impact, and on-production and off-production data analysis. By applying these analytical tools, manufacturing plants can gain a realistic, data-driven perspective on their operations, enabling them to identify inefficiencies, reduce costs, and enhance overall performance.
