This topic describes the best practices for enterprise energy consumption management and carbon emission management.
1. Enterprise energy consumption management
The energy consumption management module of Energy Expert can collect and analyze data on energy consumption, send alerts, and estimate energy consumption for enterprises.
Energy Expert can collect data on the energy consumption of enterprises from multiple sources, such as electricity meters, water meters, gas meters, power converters, and steam flow meters, by using the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) and Modbus protocols. Energy Expert can survey, query, and analyze data on energy consumption and can be integrated with the algorithms of Alibaba Cloud to estimate energy consumption loads, report alerts, and provide suggestions for enterprises. This helps enterprise managers make decisions on energy consumption optimization and achieve energy conservation and emission reduction.
Use case of a small and medium-sized enterprise in the manufacturing industry: Hangzhou Holycore Composite Material Co.,Ltd
The energy consumption management module of Energy Expert helps Holycore save 170,000 KW of electricity annually, which is equivalent to a carbon emission reduction of more than 120 tons, and manage the 2 MW electricity generating system of new energy that generates 2.21 million KW of green electricity annually, which reduces carbon emissions by more than 1,500 tons. The calculation result of product carbon footprints indicates that emissions are reduced by 16% per square meter per product. The products of Holycore have been applied to vehicles, and the annual carbon emission reduction reaches nearly 30,000 tons, which includes the emissions reduced in the production process of Holycore.
Use case in an eco-technology park: Anhui Province Energy Co.,Ltd
Energy Expert connects to the smart energy and carbon control management platform of Anhui Province Energy Co.,Ltd in the Yuqiao Eco-technology Park in Changfeng county. The platform manages energy consumption and carbon emissions of energy infrastructures in the energy microgrid of the park, such as energy stations, photovoltaic power stations, energy storage stations, and energy consumption terminals. AI algorithms are used to optimize the source-grid-load-storage interaction to improve the comprehensive efficiency of the energy system in the park. This way, Energy Expert helps the park achieve the goals of reducing unit energy costs and carbon emissions.
The preceding cases won the nomination of Top Ten Low Carbon Projects in Anhui Province in 2022.
2. Enterprise carbon management and green certification
After you upload energy consumption data, you can use the carbon emission calculation module of Energy Expert to specify the scope of the carbon emission source by using the organization-based carbon emission survey feature. You can manually upload or call API operations to synchronize carbon emission data generated by the specified carbon emission sources. This way, you can complete the annual carbon emission survey and provide data for the certification of the carbon emission survey.
For a manufacturing enterprise, you can calculate the carbon emissions of products in the whole lifecycle by using the product carbon footprint tool of Energy Expert. You can use Energy Expert to complete online carbon footprint modeling, and import carbon emission data to generate analysis reports of product carbon footprints. Energy Expert provides carbon reduction suggestions for you, generates sharable H5 web pages of low-carbon products and product category rules (PCRs), and provides data for the certification of your product carbon footprints.
Use case of Olympic Council of Asia
Energy Expert undertakes the low-carbon construction of the Asian Games Village of Asian Games Hangzhou 2022. Energy Expert promotes energy conservation and emission reduction in the entire Asian Games Village based on energy consumption optimization. At the same time, energy-saving and carbon reduction technologies of China are exposed to athletes, media, and staff over the Asian Games Village app. Green life is advocated during the period in which the Asian Games is held.
In addition, Energy Expert is used to calculate the carbon footprints of Asian Games licensed commodities such as Asian Games mascot dolls and flying discs. Energy Expert provides proactive carbon reduction measures such as recycling material substitution, packaging recycling, and green electricity use in the manufacturing process of the commodities, and guidance for manufacturers to actively reduce carbon emissions.
Official thanks from the Olympic Council of Asia are received due to the preceding use case.
