Emerson Energy Advisor

Energy Advisor is a real-time energy management information system that automates the process of monitoring and managing energy consumption across mills, plants and refineries.

With real-time, meaningful information about a site’s energy performance, process manufacturers can identify inefficiencies and irregularities and take corrective action, saving on average 5-10% in energy costs annually. In energy-intensive process industries - like chemicals, metals and mining, oil and gas, pulp and paper, and refining - where energy is often 30-50% of the operating expense, these savings can have a significant impact on the bottom line. 

Energy Advisor pulls energy data from various sources, including (but not limited to) Emerson’s DeltaV and Ovation distributed control systems as well as its wireless infrastructure, to provide real-time analysis and historical context. Using Emerson’s process models, manufacturers are now able to analyse and compare three critical items: the amount of energy a system is designed to use; what it has used over time; and what it is consuming in the moment.

The product integrates seamlessly with current site control and information systems, allowing straightforward implementation. Key features of the technology include: Consumption Monitoring, to identify and log root causes for energy overconsumption; a Data Integrity Checker, to verify the integrity of energy data before it is used; an Energy Target Calculator, which creates models from past historical data to predict target energy consumption; and Standard Reports, which include cost per unit of production, energy performance trends and electrical demand cost.
