Modeling Technology for Optimizing Energy Consumption and Product Quality, and Example Applications

摘要

Yokogawa has developed a modeling technology that can extensively extract all characteristics of process variables from historical operation data of actual plants. Yokogawa aims to improve the operation of customers' plants with this technology that can create models elucidating relationships among energy consumption, operation cost, and product quality, and derive optimum operating conditions of plants through Yokogawa's unique optimization algorithms. Whereas conventional plant modeling requires advanced technical knowledge and considerable man-hours for engineering, the new modeling technology greatly mitigates such issues. This paper describes the modeling technology and examples of its application to diagnosis using actual plant operation data.
