Development and Installation of Energy Management System at Akashi Works
Resource and Energy Reduction
—Energy-saving Promotion Activities
We use the energy visualization system, which has been introduced at all business sites, to promote
energy-saving activities.
Energy costs were reduced by 6.6% (approximately ¥700 million) in fiscal 2016. We continue to work to reduce annual resource and energy costs by at least 5% in fiscal 2017 onward.
Example of Energy Saving:
Development and Installation of Energy Management System at Akashi Works
In addition to external power, electricity and steam through gas turbine power generation systems, boilers, and other forms from the energy center are supplied to the plant at the Akashi Works. These energies are optimized through an energy management system that was developed in-house. Energy costs for electricity and gas were reduced in fiscal 2016 by 3% for the year for the entire plant.
Energy Management System: Analyzes weather conditions, past electricity and steam demand data as well as electricity and gas unit prices, thereby optimizing the operations of energy equipment such as gas turbines and boilers.
