modeling software. \u00a0In addition to the steam and electricity demands of the pulp and paper operations, there were additional complexities including the consideration of:<\/p><ul><li>On and off-peak energy pricing<\/li><li>A variety of energy sourcing options including different source fuels<\/li><li>Multiple boiler and turbine configurations<\/li><li>Co-generated electricity sales to the local utility<\/li><\/ul><p>The Optware System was populated with existing data, allowing for rapid model deployment.\u00a0 Regression equations were used in the boilers to tie steam yield to the fuels used and their rate of consumption. \u00a0Equations were also used in the turbines to tie megawatt generation to the pounds and PSI of steam received from the boilers.\u00a0 Other data included electricity purchase and sale prices, electricity demand levels, fuel availability and pricing, ash disposal costs, and direct and indirect operating costs.<\/p><p>The model resulting from this effort is run as part of the overall Optware Enterprise Pulp and Paper model, in which case the mill must be supplied with electricity and steams of various pressures, or as a standalone tool where the energy needs are fixed.\u00a0 In both cases, Optware generates the least-cost means of generating the required energy demand.<\/p><p>The Optware Enterprise energy model allows a client to plan energy management proactively. \u00a0In addition, the tool is useful for responding optimally to upset conditions such as equipment breakdowns.\u00a0 Our modeling software can help you substantially reduce energy costs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element
