Assesment

​

​

​

An energy assessment is an inspection survey and an analysis of energy flows for energy conservation in a system. Energy assessment should be always the first step after defining and setting the system. It is recommended to assessment every year.

Parts of assessment:

• Review
• Wastes

System review

​

Fill system review together with your end user.

Monitoring page

• Dedicated for system measurement analysis for systems with monitoring enabled
• Used by CA experts and advanced users
• INSPECT PAGE
• ANALYZE
• DIAGRAM
• MANUAL ENTRY

4

Inspect page

• Designed for system measurement analysis and data interpretation by experts
• Contain two main tabs: TREND and AGGREGATE

5

Trend tab

• Most important in channel and data analysis
• Values are shown in graph and table form
• All data are shown for inspect period with default sample rate, which can be manually changed for experts users only
• Main part on this page: graphs with many tools for better and faster analysis and data interpretation

6

Toolbar on trend page

1. inspect period - manual selection
2. Aggregate by: aggregation is already recommended depending on selected inspect period, but can be changed
3. Zoom in/out, zoom align hour, day or week, slide back/forward for selected period
4. Channels selection - indicators, analog and digital measurements
5. Scales y-axis - better and nicer appearance of the charts, split charts
6. Download plot to jpg or data to csv, recalculate data - for expert user only

Cusum graph displays how the system is performing in comparison to its specific power.

13

M&T Monitoring and targeting diagram show each of the time period as a data point on energy consumption/air consumption graph and target SSP.

Analyze page

• Slice must be created. Slice is fixed view of collected data.
• Contains 6 tabs: Graph, Table, Histogram, Correlation, Simulate and Analyzers

14

• Slice is fixed view of collected data
• Contains a set of channels or other signals, each of which has finite number of data points aimed for system detail analysis
• Typical slice duration is 1-2 weeks
• This tool is build for experts for system analysis for selected inspect period called SLICE

15

Go back to inspect page

Rename slice

Delete slice

• Larger inspect page with more detail statistics and value interpretation for easier analysis.

16

• Table will display measurements (all channels in the slice) with selected resolution. Channels can be organized and sorted. Table can be exported as CSV file

17

• Histogram charts will show time distribution for each measured or calculated channel. Those charts are important to understand where you need to focus with optimization.

18

• CALMS is using scatter diagram method to show correlation between two measurement or calculated channels.

19

Correlation -Linear regression

• Linear regression analysis is used to predict the value of a dependent variable-channel (y) based on the value of another independent variable (x)�
• Linear regression is the process of finding a line that best fits the data points available on the plot, so that we can use it to predict output values for inputs that are not present in the data set we have

20

• Simulation part is very powerful tool used by experts who calculates saving opportunity based on different actions for system improvement like new compressor setup, new compressor installation, new master controller or pressure flow controller or bigger receiver…
• Simulation is always based on flow profile
• Inspect period for simulation is limited to two weeks
• One of the most important benefit of simulating existing system with new parameters is to evaluate potential savings and reliability of operation

21

• To start simulation you have to select slice and start with new simulation
• The base for simulation is CAS model created by P&ID schematic and flow profile collected by flow measurement
• This is real time simulation which will calculate new system operation for every second based on flow profile and design pressure using compressor and other equipment models, showing you new graphs how system will operate
• To start simulation you have to select slice and start NEW simulation.

22

23

Select flow channel, because simulation is always based on flow measurements!

Enter the storage volume!

Add new compressor or fill compressor from local database or other compressor databases!

• Flow offset: modify the flow channel output with a constant. This function can be used if customer would like to see what will happen to the system if production changes!

24

• Flow factor: modify the flow channel output �with a constant flow factor. Same function as flow offset, just using multiplier instead of fix flow value change.
• Flow averaging: represents number of samples with duration of 1 sec or time that system can hold the pressure without compressor. this is especially important when you do simulation based on measured flow profile, where is essential that you do simulation on flow that is equal to demand, not actual air production!!!

25

Simulation results

• On simulation results page you can compare different simulation results based on specific power, energy cost and % saving, with detail simulated graphs, that will show how new system will operate!
• Compare measured data with simulation results!!!

​

Simulation results - copy and use them in the report!

Assets

​

​

The last step is Asset management. Is part where we add equipment in the system, do TCO so we can track equipment operation. On charts, in asset management, we can see savings before and after events.

​

• Equipment
• TCO
• Bidding
• Events

Total cost of ownership(TCO)

​

​

​

TCO is a tool for Compressed air system proposal evaluation based on quality, transparency with clearly described rating criteria and equality of treatment. TCO page can be used for many purposes:

1. Compare different compressors based on database or manufacturers datasheets.
2. Evaluate and compare different proposal for compressors based on key evaluation points.
3. Calculate Total cost of ownership for one compressor or all compressors.
4. Calculate Compressed air cost based on 10 years CAS live cycle.

​

​

​

33

• On top you have tools to rename, create report, duplicate TCO and add new compressors to this TCO. If some criteria is not important for you, you can always use custom weights.
• Design data is used to compare compressors on the same basis (electricity cost, operating annual hours, design pressure and design flow).
• TCO will use same design data for all compressors to calculate all blue fields (CA volume, CA cost, TCO..).

34

CALMS is using same toolbox called Fill data to search for compressor data from different databases in different sections like Setup, Simulations, TCO..

You can find your compressors by entering different properties. If you change Source you can find compressors that are already in this system(data in SETUP).

​

Bidding

​

​

​

​

​

35

Create new bid.

This is electronic bidding platform for selecting best proposal for compressor based on TCO and equal criteria’s prepared by CA expert.

Bidding

​

​

Steps for bidding:

1. Start with assessment or audit
2. Link audit slice with bid
3. Create new bid under Bidding
4. Add budget, description and other details
5. Select criteria’s with Custom weights
6. Select bid type : Public or closed
7. Invite bidder if he is not already CALMS user
8. Send email- invitation for bidding with URL link

Events

​

Events give you an insight into how specific investments are paying off. For example event, can be a compressor upgrade, filter replacement or employee training etc.

• After you enter first details press next to move forward.
• Add price of investment.
• ROI tells you in how much time would event with such investment pay off.
• Target value suggestion is value which target metrich should reach after event takes place for it to pay off in ROI duration.
