Energy Management for Industrial Plants

Management concepts in the energy sector are still at an early stage, comprising energy controlling measures, more comprehensive action concepts - which is what energy management is really all about - and the integration of energy service companies.


The primary aim of energy management is to improve profitability, productivity and competitiveness by reducing energy costs. If these ecological and economic targets are to be adhered to, it is essential that properties are monitored on a continuous basis, building services adjusted accordingly and energy measures dynamically adapted to suit altered utilisation concepts.
The modernisation of building services such as lighting, air conditioning and ventilation, an optimisation of operational systems and the way they are run, and the employment of rational energy conversion systems, such as combined heat and power generation, are all essential elements in a management concept. Corresponding high-quality technical solutions are available on the German market.
In Germany, building operators and occupants have carried projects out successfully, both without outside help and by contracting out the work to energy service providers. The involvement of service providers on the basis of installation or performance contracting agreements is one of the growth markets in Germany. A large number of projects in foreign countries are already profiting from the expertise available here.

The CO2-Navigator assists companies in the complete climate risk management, from developing strategies to making investment decisions to directing investments to CO2- reduction technologies. It helps companies to weigh the monetary risks of a lack of CO2- investment against investment costs and aids them in analysing trade-related investment alternatives and real options, taking into account CO2-certificates.

Due to increasing energy prices, the company PGTechnologie has developed an exchangeable heater unit that replaces the electric heating system in temperature control units with a gas-powered system. The aim was to reduce energy costs by 50% and CO2 emissions by more than 60%. Expand…

The main energy flows were recorded in two pilot enterprises in the plastics industry (Schoeller Arca Systems GmbH, Schwerin, and ZF Boge Elastmetall GmbH, Damme), and performance ratios were determined for a variety of electrical appliances such as engines, pumps or cooling and heating facilities. Measures to enhance efficiency were then suggested, and the potential to save energy was described.

The new system uses infrared radiation and convection to heat up the ladles used to transport molten metal evenly and under controlled conditions. This helps to save around 60% energy compared to heating with gas-powered flame burners. Expand…

Solutions for significant energy savings which would result in lower production costs and a reduction in CO2 emissions were developed for the production processes examined under the project. Expand…
The Energy Agency Mittelfranken accomplished an overall energetic investigation in an Eltersdorf industrial company in order to point out energetic, ecological, but also economically justifiable potentials. The small amortization periods of max. two to three years should be kept. Expand…
In a glasswork an energy-saving and pollutant-reducing glass fusion technology was developed. At a natural gas-fuelled green glass melting tub a procedure combination of batch preheater, subsequent electrostatic filter and a lime proportioning plant (for the injection of calcium hydroxide as adsorption agent) was used. The use of the waste heat of the tub exhaust gases for the preliminary heating of the loose raw material mixture caused a decrease of the specific power demand of approx. 20 % of the used primary energy. The limit values of the TA Air (German technical directive on air quality control) of 1986 for the exhaust components were under-run. Expand…
