The Use of Process Energy Characteristics to Predict Energy Per-formance Indicators on an Ongoing Basis
Journal Title: Acta Energetica - Year 2016, Vol 28, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper presents possible uses of process energy characteristics for ongoing monitoring of energy indicators. The method of ongoing monitoring of indicators consists in comparison of indicators determined on the basis of the processes’ energy characteristics. The method is primarily applicable in early detection and elimination of excessive and irrational energy consumption and in adjustments of the current energy management.
