1 WHAT IS THE ENMPRO LIVE DEMO
1.1 Introduction
The EnMPRO Demo Server demonstrates the web environment of the new Energy Manager PRO using an example factory. This
example factory simulates the key departments for the production of soft drinks. These departments are:

 Water purification (pre-treatment of the water)

 Mixing (combination of sugar, flavorings and the purified water)

 Filling

 Utilities (boiler, chiller, compressors)

The water purification and mixing departments together form the actual production process for the soft drink. To assess the energy
efficiency of each department, the Energy Manager PRO automatically calculates the key energy efficiency performance indicators
and presents the results in the form of predefined and informative widget dashboards.

The objectives of the EnMPRO Live Demo:

 Familiarization with the new Energy Manager PRO as an updated successor to B.Data

 Familiarization with the analytical possibilities of the Energy Manager PRO

 Fast and informative overview of the efficiency figures of the example factory

1.2 Preparation of the EnMPRO Live Demo

1.3 Navigation in the EnMPRO Live Demo


By means of "Quick Links", the user has the option of directly opening the key objects such as the widget dashboards, the reports,
the B.Data start dashboard and the Quick Chart. These Quick Links offer the user a fast mode of navigation through the Demo
Server and should therefore be used in the first instance.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 4 / 37


Within the dashboard, the user can navigate to other dashboards by using certain widgets.
Each widget that is linked to another dashboard has a button with four little squares next
to the magnifying glass symbol (full-screen mode). Clicking on this button opens the other
dashboard.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 5 / 37


In addition, there are three widget symbols in the bottom right corner of each widget
dashboard, each of which is also linked to one dashboard. By clicking the first button, the
user can open the widget dashboard of the media overview. The second button is used for
switching to the widget dashboard of the production area in the example factory. The third button returns the user to the home
dashboard of the example factory. These three graphic widgets are therefore used for navigating back again after clicking on a
widget. The same also applies to the B.Data dashboards. These dashboards also have buttons for switching to other dashboards.

A further option is the navigation to all available objects via the normal tree structure, similar to that of Windows Explorer. This
option is only to be used for viewing further special detailed reports (validation report, duration curve and administration building) of
the example factory for which no Quick Link has been created.

2 USE CASES IN THE GUIDED TOUR FOR THE LIVE DEMO
2.1 Increased overall costs at consistent cost per hectoliter (hl)

The overall dashboard of the lemonade producers offers the user a fast overview about all locations, because
each location is represented on the map inclusively its main KPI’s. Additionally, the home dashboard of a
location can be opened.

[1] The user looks on the map in the overall dashboard of the lemonade producer. There, the user a location in Berlin and
Munich.
[2] Following on that the user clicks on the location in Berlin and sees the overall costs as well as the costs per hectoliter for this
location.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 7 / 37


The overall costs for the location in Berlin are 662,950.44 and the costs per hl are 5.57.

[3] Then the user clicks on the home dashboard of Berlin by using the link.
[4] The user looks on the home dashboard of the example factory.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 8 / 37


The home dashboard enables the user to get a quick and easy overview about the example factory and is
therefore the basis for all considerations by the company.

[5] When looking at the gauge element of the costs, the user sees that the costs during the past month were in the yellow
segment.
[6] The user immediately looks at the gauge widget for the costs per hectoliter in order to check whether the overall energy
efficiency of the factory has declined. The overall costs per hectoliter, however, are in the green segment.

The home dashboard provides an overview of the overall costs and CO2 emissions. In addition the overall
costs, broken down by medium, are displayed in a pie chart. In order to obtain the overall efficiency of the
example factory, the total costs per hectoliter are also shown in a gauge widget. The displayed calculation
period of the widget dashboard is the previous month.

[7] Additionally, the user checks the distribution of costs, broken by medium (Electricity, Gas, Water). Here, a significant change
of cost distribution can also not be recognized.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 9 / 37


The increased costs can therefore only be a result of increased production during the last month.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 10 / 37


2.2 Increased overall costs as well as increased costs per hectoliter (hl) according to
outliners (abnormal values)

The costs per hl of the soft drink produced is the essential energy performance indicator (EnPI) for assessing
the efficiency of the factory. Increased energy consumption due to statistical outliers or a lower degree of
energy efficiency of the machines and auxiliary systems are automatically reflected in the costs and thus the
ENPI.

[1] The user looks again at the home dashboard and sees that the overall costs have increased again.

[2] The user immediately looks at the total costs per hectoliter. These tell the user that the overall costs per hectoliter are also in
the yellow segment.
[3] The user therefore switches to the dashboard for the production area.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 11 / 37


[4] In this dashboard the user sees that the consumption of electrical energy per hectoliter in the water purification department
is also in the yellow segment. This tells the user that the cause of the deteriorating efficiency is to be found in this
department.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 12 / 37


This Dashboard lists the consumption figures for each department in value widgets. In addition, the
consumption figures per hl are displayed for each department in gauge widgets. This dashboard likewise uses
the last month as the calculation period.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 13 / 37


[5] The user then navigates to the dashboard of the department water purification. The dashboard for this department has two
chart widgets. The first shows the history of the absolute consumption figures for electrical energy and steam, as well as the
quantities produced. The second chart widget provides the history for the consumption of electricity and steam relative to one
hectoliter of soft drink. The displayed period in the charts covers the last seven days.

Soft drinks essentially comprise water, carbon dioxide and additives such as sugar and flavorings. Before the
carbon dioxide and other ingredients can be added to the water, the process water must first be purified and
sterilized. For this purpose, the incoming water is irradiated and with UV light and heated. The fuel required for
this is natural gas and the process takes place in this department.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 14 / 37


[6] In the first chart, under "consumption of electrical energy", the user will notice several outliers in the last seven days. The
production figure however appears not to have risen.

[7] Therefore the user looks at the second chart and again sees the increased values for electrical consumption per hectoliter
over the same period. The cause for the increased overall costs and higher total costs per hectoliter has thus been found.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 15 / 37


In considering the performance indicators, the significant increase in consumption of electrical energy per
quantity produced compared to the preceding periods is apparent.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 16 / 37


2.3 Monthly reporting for the Management
For the monthly meeting with the management in the example factory, Excel reports are to be prepared which
document the consumption figures as well as the plant performance indicators of the example factory for each
month.

Specifically, the following reports are required:


 One cost accounts report containing the costs and consumption figures for each cost account
 One report for the production area concerning the consumption figures and the quantities produced In
addition, this report should also show the plant efficiency.
 An overview report of the supply systems
 A sustainability report in which the consumption and emission figures are compared with those of the
previous year

These reports are supplied by the Energy Manager PRO.

[1] To present these reports during the meeting, the user opens the web environment and clicks first on the Quick Link for the
cost accounts report.
[2] This displays a short message asking the user to confirm by clicking on the "OK" button that this report is to be opened. The
report is then displayed in the browser as a download file which the user can then open.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 17 / 37


The cost accounts report presents the consumption figures and costs of one month for each cost account,
broken down by media. A cost account represents one department at the location (water purification, mixing,
bottling, supply systems). With the aid of this report it is possible for the management to document the
individual media consumption figures and costs at a glance for each individual cost account.

[3] Once the contents of this report have been discussed, the user can then close the report.
[4] Using the next Quick Link, the user opens the report for the production area.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 18 / 37


In this report, the distribution of costs of electrical energy and gas are presented in a pie chart. In addition, the
history of the costs is presented in a line graph. The pure water, as well as the added ingredients (sugar,
carbon dioxide, flavorings, colorings) and the water for washing the bottles, depend exclusively on the
production volume and are therefore not included in this report.

[5] The user then uses linear regression analysis to present the efficiency of the production.

The efficiency of the production is a result of the total energy consumption relative to the total production
(consumption per unit). In the case of the production, the total energy consumption is obtained by adding the
electricity and gas consumption figures, converted into kWh. For this reason, this report contains an X,Y graph
in which the X-axis represents the production quantity and the Y-axis represents the total energy consumption
of the production.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 19 / 37


[6] The user therefore takes a look at the X,Y diagram.

The result is a cluster of points through which a straight line (y = kx+d) is drawn by Excel (linear regression
analysis). This describes the relationship between the quantity produced and the energy consumption. In
addition, the report contains the equation relating to this straight line. The value for the variable d is the
standby consumption of the production, while the value for k represents the unit consumption per quantity
produced.

[7] The user then looks at the line chart for the unit consumption
and sees the outliers in the unit consumption figures.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 20 / 37


Increased unit consumption figures mean increased overall energy consumption. These increased energy
consumption figures are also evident in the X,Y chart, as they lie above the straight line.

[8] The next report that the user demonstrates is the report concerning the utilities or supply systems (boiler, chiller and
compressors). The user also opens this with the corresponding Quick Link.

This report presents the key performance indicators of the compressors, the chiller and the boiler in the form
of line graphs.

With the aid of the compressor diagram it can be seen that the operating points of the two compressors are
out of the good diagram area. That means that the operating points of the two compressors are located in an
insufficient working area.

[9] The last report that the user opens is the sustainability report, for which there is also a Quick Link.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 21 / 37


In this report the management recognizes that all consumption figures and thus all emissions are falling
slightly.

2.4 Batch Analysis in the Energy Manager PRO

In the example factory production of limonade is realised in batches. A batch is defined as a determined
amount of units (pieces, litres, tons), whereby for each produced unit the same production settings were
applied. The Energy Manager PRO is able to determine energy consumption as well as the produced amount for
each batch. Moreover, it is possible to compare certain batches together. If the amount of limonade in a batch
is produced by using more equipments, it will be possible to compare certain equipments together.

[1] The User opens the Batch report with the Quick Link.
[2] At first the user has a look on the overview table of the generated batches.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 23 / 37


[3] Afterwards the user takes the filter functionality in the EXCEL report in order to filter out all Batches for a specific sort of
lemonade.

[4] Following on that, the user switches to the second EXCEL sheet.
[5] There the user has a look on the X,Y diagram. On the Y-axis energy
consumption of the medium can be seen and on the X-axis
produced amount of the filtered sort of lemonade is shown.
[6] The user looks on the equation formula for the straight line (y = k*x
+ d) and writes down the values for k and d.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 24 / 37


[7] Then the user switches back to the overview table and extends the filter to indicate the batches of another sort additionally to
the already displayed batches.

[8] Finally, the user switches back to the X,Y diagram in order to look again on the values for k and d.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 25 / 37


The user recongnizes that unit consumption (k-value of the straight line) of both sorts is nearly the same as
with only the first sort. Hence, no decrease in efficiency of the filling line can be seen, which means that both
sorts are produced with the same efficiency.

2.5 Payback period, return on investment and the net present value of the energy
efficiency measure
With the aid of the Energy Manager PRO the user is in a position to define a planned measure for raising the
efficiency and also for calculating key economic figures. These key economic figures are:

 Payback period
 Return on investment
 Net present value

The management of the example factory is considering replacing the boiler. For this reason, the energy
manager has already set up an energy efficiency measure (EEM) in the Energy Manager PRO. For the final
decision, the energy manager presents the results of the EEM.

[1] The user opens the tabular overview of the energy efficiency measures using the Quick Link.
[2] The user then clicks the button to open the energy efficiency measure for the boiler.

[3] The detail window of the measure then opens and the energy manager switches to the "Common" tab

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 27 / 37


[4] For the calculation of the performance indicators the duration of the period under consideration is of importance

In this detail window you can first see the relevant region and business unit. In addition, the status of the
project is to be read out. The period from 2017 to 2022 is under consideration.

[5] After this, the energy manager switches to the


"Saving capabilities" tab.
[6] The energy manager refers here to the
planned savings.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 28 / 37


In this detail window, you can see the comparison of the current annual consumption of a medium with the
planned annual consumption. To calculate the savings, the difference between the two consumption figures is
calculated and multiplied by the price per unit. The planned savings amount to 30,000 euros per year and the
planned annual energy consumption is 20,000 kWh.

[7] The energy manager then continues with the required investments and switches to the "Cost Effectiveness" tab.
[8] The energy manager refers to the required capital and the annual maintenance costs.
[9] The three key performance indicators are the most important factor in deciding whether to replace the boiler. For this reason,
the energy manager draws the attention of the management to the three key performance indicators in the lower section of
the detail window.

This detail window shows the capital required for the exchange as well as the annual costs for maintenance
following replacement of the boiler. The investment required for the replacement is 140,000 euros. Following
the replacement of the boiler, annual costs of 1000 euros would be incurred. The payback period is 4.83 years
and the return on investment is 1.04. This means that the investment sum of 140,000 euros has been
compensated by the annual savings within 4.83 years. In the period of five years under investigation,
therefore, a total profit of 4% is achieved.

3 FURTHER DASHBOARDS AND REPORTS IN THE LIVE DEMO
3.1 Media overview Dashboard
Apart from the dashboard for the production there is also a parallel dashboard for the media overview. This
dashboard respresents the total consumption figures of the individual departments and utilities for each
medium (electricity, gas, water) with a Sankey diagram. In addition, the total consumption of one medium
relative to the produced quantity is displayed in a gauge widget. As in the case of the production dashboard,
the calculation period is the last month. This dashboard thus provides the user with a quick overview of the
required media as well as the total consumption figures of the media per quantity produced.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 30 / 37


3.2 Departmental Dashboards

For each additional department (mixing, bottling and supply systems) there is a special department dashboard.
The department dashboards for mixing and bottling have the same widgets and thus the same function as the
department dashboard for the water purification.

3.2.1 Dashboard Mixing

After the service water has been purified and sterilized, the pure water has carbon dioxide added to it.
Following this, the carbonated water is mixed with the additives sugar and small quantities of flavorings and
colorings.
The dashboard of the mixing department also has two chart widgets. The first shows the progression of the
absolute consumption figures for electrical energy and additives, as well as the quantities produced. The
second chart widget provides the history for the consumption of electricity and additives relative to one

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 31 / 37


hectoliter of soft drink. The displayed period in the charts covers the last seven days.
A departmental widget is also located in this dashboard. With this widget the report for this department for the
last month can be opened in Excel or as a PDF file.

On the first worksheet of this report, the user sees the energy performance indicators (EnPIs) of the
department. In addition, the user sees the deviation of the performance indicators from the previous month, as
well as from the same month one year earlier. On the second worksheet the user sees the absolute
consumption values, again compared to the same previous periods.
In this way, the increased consumption of electrical energy is also documented in an Excel file.

3.2.2 Dashboard Filling

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 32 / 37


Following production, the soft drinks are bottled and immediately packaged. Bottling systems are used for this
purpose, which require electricity for the bottling and packaging. Before the bottles can be filled, they must
first be washed.
Like the other two dashboards before it (water purification, mixing), this dashboard has two chart widgets. The
first shows the history of the absolute consumption figures for electrical energy and water, as well as the
quantity produced. The second chart widget provides the history for the consumption of electricity and water
relative to one filled bottle. The displayed period in the charts covers the last seven days.
A departmental widget is also located in this dashboard. With this widget the report for this department for the
last month can be opened in Excel or as a PDF file.

On the first worksheet of this report, the user sees the energy performance indicators (EnPIs) of the
department. In addition, the user sees the deviation of the performance indicators from the previous month, as
well as from the same month one year earlier. On the second worksheet the user sees the absolute
consumption values, again compared to the same previous periods.
In this way, the increased consumption of electrical energy is also documented in an Excel file.

3.2.3 Dashboard for supply systems

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 33 / 37


The widget dashboard for the supply systems shows the relevant key performance indicators for the boiler,
chiller and the two compressors, using traffic-light widgets:

 For the compressors the key performance indicator is the current consumption per Nm³ of compressed
air (kWh/Nm³).
 For the chiller, the key performance indicator is the dimensionless relationship between cooling energy
generated and the electrical energy required for this purpose.
 For the boiler, in addition to the efficiency, the ratio of the required thermal energy that is created by
the burning of gas, to the produced quantity of steam (kWh/t_steam) is of interest.

© Siemens AG 2017 – Unrestricted 34 / 37


A departmental widget is also located in this dashboard. With this widget the overview report for all supply
systems for the last month can be opened in Excel or as a PDF file.
By clicking on the button in the respective traffic light widget, the user can open the detail dashboard for the
supply system. The dashboard of the supply system consists of a chart widget and a gauge widget. The chart
widget shows the history of the performance indicator as well as the history of the required electrical energy
and of the output medium (coolant, steam, compressed air) corresponding to the supply system. The gauge
widget shows the value of the performance indicator for the last day.

The Heat Map shows the produced amount of steam with a colors. Green color areas indicate that a low
amount and red color areas indicate a high amount.

3.3 Validation report

A good quality of data is the basis for a successful energy management. Gaps or outliers in the series of
measured values reduce this quality and corrupt or influence the results of the energy data analysis. The
validation report helps the user to discover missing or abnormal values in the series of measured values, as it
lists the names of the data points with abnormalities in the measured values..
