Sector profile<\/b>
Cement production requires many energy-intensive industrial applications. Process heating occurs in specialized, fossil fuel-fired ovens called kilns, and includes calcining, drying, and sintering. Motors are used for a wide variety of grinding, mixing, and material handling systems to convey cement. Compressed air is used to serve dust collectors, cylinders, air knives, and pneumatic clutches. Fan systems are needed in the kilns for the clinker cooling process and to aspirate and remove airborne dust in the baghouses where rocks are pulverized.

Establishing an energy management system (EnMS) can help cement plant management better understand how energy is consumed in the facility and how energy efficiency solutions can be devised and implemented effectively.<\/p>\n
Electrex Automated Energy Management System The Electrex Automated Energy Management System architecture design is based on three main elements.<\/p>\n The facility of our case study is powered by a main MV load and equipped with 3 MV\/LV transformers (one of them replaced recently). The 3 MV transformers<\/b> serve the 3 production lines<\/b>, while the offices <\/b>are powered by a LV system<\/b>. The monitoring system consists of branch 1, 2 and 3 for monitoring the transformers and part of the production lines while branch 4 and 5 controls the offices area<\/b>. <\/p>\n The 5 branches are connected to the internal LAN Ethernet network<\/b> via: <\/p>\n and via Wi-Fi <\/b> <\/p>\n The various instruments and sensors connected in the 5 branches monitor and control the principal loads. Anyway since the systems is modular and scalable more nodes will be added in a next deploying stage. Indeed, in addition to adding new devices in seamless way, our equipment is Hardware-Ready type<\/b>. Through PUK code entry via the Web interface<\/b> of the device can be added new functions and upgraded the existing ones.<\/p>\n The Energy Manager instead uses its laptop, for local or remote connections via Ethernet \/ Internet, in order to control the effectiveness of the energy efficiency solutions. He analyzes the data downloaded periodically from the software Energy Brain, controls specific loads via the built-in web interface on each device and reacts to alarms and notifications displayed on every device equipped with a browser (smart phone, tablet, PC, etc.).<\/p>\n ABOUT ELECTREX<\/b><\/p>\n Since 1993 Electrex designs, develops, manufactures and markets, Made in Italy, instruments and software for energy measurement, management and control.<\/p>\n The Electrex solutions are used in the energy efficiency and Energy Automation applications, for the industrial, commercial, public, civil, and renewable energy sectors allowing a rapid return on investment.<\/p>\n Electrex, one of the first companies to operate in these sectors, has acquired over the years a considerable experience and competence that few other companies can claim to have. With over 40% of the staff dedicated to R & D, we demonstrate our strong commitment to innovation and continuous improvement in order to anticipate the needs of our customers.<\/p>\n We follow our products from design to after sale service and support, being a flexible and dynamic company. That is why Electrex continues to be chosen more and more from both local and international partners.<\/p>\n The Electrex products are entirely designed, engineered and manufactured in Italy.

The case study<\/b>
The diagram below represents a part of a monitoring network (sub-metering can be extended more) in a cement production plant. The same architecture can be anyway applied to other sectors \/ industries since the consumption drivers are mostly the same.<\/p>\n![\"Electrex](\"http:\/\/www.electrex.it\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/energy-monitoring-network-cement-industry.jpg\" "\\"Electrex")
