PE-Advisor™ Software

On-line Performance Management of Energy and Utilities Assets

•   Gain site-wide visibility of and insight into energy consumption, flows & costs
•   Reduce energy costs (with little or no additional investment)
     º   Maximize energy efficiency while meeting demands
     º   Leverage the options available:
          »   Between the energy markets and the plant
          »   Among the integrated utility systems and processes within the plant
•   Realize additional energy savings through on-line identification and analysis of design improvements and capital projects

PE-Advisor provides:

•   On-line model of integrated energy and utilities systems, energy supply and off-take agreements and emissions
•   Financial information for improved risk management and optimization of site-wide bottom-line
•   Equipment models for diagnostic and condition monitoring information
•   Easy-to-use on-line “what-if” tool for real-time and predictive analysis
•   Enterprise software platform with flexible graphical and tabular user interface

PE-Advisor provides critical, trusted information for multiple levels of the organization, such as, operators, planners, energy managers and plant managers. Designed by engineers most familiar with the efficient operations and design of complex energy and utility systems, PE-Advisor contains those features found to be most useful to energy professionals and plant operators.

Maximize Daily Operating Performance of Energy and Utility Systems - Day-to-day operational savings are realized through application of the software in near real-time to monitor and optimize energy and utility systems performance, identify and reduce system inefficiencies, exploit system flexibilities and manage to emissions and other regulatory-environmental limits.

Improve Management of Interfaces with Energy Commodities Markets – By providing more accurate information of the current and predicted demands and energy needs of the facility, PE-Advisor improves the ability to more proactively manage energy supply contracts, off-take agreements, exposure (purchases and sales) to the spot market, and procurement and hedging strategies.

Track and Equipment Performance and Optimize Maintenance - The system allows the users to track energy and utilities equipment performance by monitoring individual equipment efficiency and performance drift. This information can be used to improve reliability and help establish the optimal maintenance cycle for each piece of equipment.

Identify and Evaluate Energy and Utilities Strategies and Infrastructure Improvement Projects - The models in PE-Advisor can be applied to create energy and utilities improvement strategies and to identify and evaluate capital project opportunities. Users can conveniently use these tools directly in the on-line operating framework to evaluate modifications to the utility infrastructure and other process areas of the plant and determine mass and energy effects as well as cost implications, such as trade-offs between capital and operating costs.

Production Planning and Demand Forecasting - PE-Advisor can be used to identify and evaluate the benefits and impacts of current or future operational changes and modifications and changes in the core production process or demand loads. In addition, the software can be used to verify and track the impacts actually realized from these changes using the built-in performance tracking features.
