ids ACOS ECS – Energy Controlling System Efficient Energy Management for Industrial Units

ACOS ECS – Process chain Industrial businesses are facing the challenge of securing an uninterruptible power supply on the one hand, and making rational and cost-effective use of energy on the other hand. A modern energy management system enables the most all-round efficient use of energy. Energy management entails recording and monitoring all consumption in the company. This consumption is then divided internally between different cost centres. Simply presenting this consumption versus the various cost centres creates a degree of transparency that enables around 15% energy savings to be...

ACOS ECS – System architecture System structure ACOS ECS is far more than an isolated application for energy accounting – it can be seamlessly integrated in existing IT landscapes. Meter networks already on site are connected and monitored so that their consumption can be recorded. New networks of meters can be planned and installed just as easily. The system includes an application server and an Oracle-style database. Both components are scalable, from a low-cost shared single-server solution to a highly available cluster setup. Consumption data recorded by the system can be prepared for...

ACOS ECS – Recording of counters Interfaces Readings and meters are automatically recorded via various interfaces and logs, so that any number of systems can be connected. Interfaces that are supported are e.g.: ■ ODBC / SQL ■ CSV ■ ASCII ■ GMC U1600 / U1601 ■ DLMS ■ Modbus ■ SML ■ IEC 1107 ■ IEC 1142 ■ EN 1434 ■ MSCONS ■ ... This large number of interfaces allows the connection of existing solutions such as operating data acquisition systems, process control equipment and data loggers. Via these systems, links via LON bus and OPC are also possible. Data is read from the source system...

ACOS ECS – Monitoring and Visualisation Bar graph Archive view Line graph Monitoring Accounting groups with limit monitoring are created automatically on the basis of the acquired data. If a limit is violated, an alert is triggered immediately, so that counter measures can be introduced without delay. Specific consumption data can be formed quikkly and easily via the formation of individual key figures, enabling energy consumption to be analysed and controlled. Predefined analyses can be assigned to individual user groups on all hierarchical levels, so that everyone receives information and...

ACOS ECS – Accounting The resulting accounts are processed in time series in a diverse range of scales, and displayed in accounting groups. Distribution formulae for costs can be freely defined, enabling maximum flexibility for accounting. Completeness checks and extensive plausibility checks allow faulty states to be recognised and remedied as soon as they occur. A flawless energy balance sheet therefore forms a solid basis for correct accounting. The resulting data transparency enables seamless monitoring of the accounting process, so that weak points can be flagged up and internal energy...

ACOS ECS – Energy optimisation Energy optimisation enables the largest consumers to be identified and monitored. This creates renewed awareness of energy costs, and the resulting changed usage behaviour mostly already leads to approx. 15% cost savings. Further potential energy savings can be revealed by the formation of key figures of systems’ operating modes, which can then be analysed with a view to possible technical, organisational and commercial optimisation measures. Energy planning An energy consumption plan is drawn up annually on the basis of the consumption volumes and cost...
