With the concept of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutrality”, more and more entrepreneurs want to carry out energy-saving transformation of factories and parks in response to the call for energy conservation. At the same time, based on years of industrial computer industry foundation and edge end acquisition technical capabilities, Advantech proposed iEMS smart energy solutions to provide enterprises with “end-edge-cloud” collaborative integrated solutions.

iEMS (Intelligence Energy Management System) is an intelligent energy management system. Advantech iEMS intelligent energy solutions rely on artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, digital twins, Internet of Things and other digital technologies to help enterprises improve energy use, improve energy efficiency, deep exploration of energy saving potential, assist carbon trading, with digital drive low-carbon, empower enterprises to save energy and reduce emissions, towards a low-carbon road, and ultimately achieve carbon neutrality.

Six SRPS of iEMS

At present, iEMS has six core SRPS, among which the four SRPS of power management, air compressor performance management, HVAC energy efficiency management and energy management belong to the basic intelligent management category, while the two SRPS of carbon asset management and enterprise energy saving and carbon reduction business index management belong to the sustainable management category that provides auxiliary decision-making for operators.

1. Power management

It is suitable for the power supply and distribution monitoring and operation management of users in various industries. Through the uninterrupted protection and monitoring of the power supply and distribution network and electrical equipment of users, it improves the reliability and automation level of power supply and distribution to achieve a reliable, safe and advanced power supply and distribution system.

2, air compressor efficiency management

Through real-time control of the equipment, accurate analysis of gas production and gas use, and quickly find out the cause of waste. Through AI intelligent joint control technology, constant gas production pressure, appropriate gas supply, unmanned control and other methods are achieved, and unit energy consumption, manpower management and equipment maintenance costs are greatly reduced.

3. Hvac energy efficiency management

Through real-time monitoring of the key data of the gas production end and gas transmission end of the compressed air system, combined with the consumption data of the gas end, the causes of energy waste can be quickly found and targeted treatment can be carried out. Through AI intelligent control technology, intelligent control equipment start-stop strategy, adjust the gas supply pressure to match the gas demand, so as to achieve energy saving of the whole station.

4. Energy management

With energy management and energy-saving decision-making as the goal, through the “energy monitoring → energy consumption statistics → energy regulation → energy performance assessment → energy conservation and emission reduction” and other links to create a closed loop of energy management, to achieve the immediate system of energy consumption savings and improvement, is a continuous cycle improvement process.

5. Carbon asset management

Track and manage the carbon footprint, carbon emission and carbon quota of the enterprise in the whole process, record and quantify the low-carbon transformation behavior of the enterprise, and help the carbon asset management of the enterprise from the dimensions of display, analysis and evaluation.

6. Management of energy saving and carbon reduction business indicators

The achievement of key energy indicators, energy saving transformation strategy and green energy strategy are examined from the perspective of management.
