Because of requirements for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction as well as energy savings, Toshiba Mitsubishi-Electric Industrial Systems Corporation (TMEIC) has developed new technologies for energy savings in a steel plant. TMEIC has focused on reducing not only the electrical power consumption but also other utility consumption such as water, thermal, gas, air, etc., in a steel plant. In TMEIC’s energy savings technology, an advanced energy management tool and predictive models have been developed. The energy management system allows for an energy audit to locate the data and calculate the energy savings amount. The predictive models are applied to energy savings of a utility system such as descaling pump system, Run Out Table (ROT) pump system, and motor cooling fan system and this technology achieves more efficient operation in addition to simple installation of inverters. In this paper, first, the energy audit is introduced, followed by the energy management system. Then, energy savings system utilizing predictive modelling software is introduced with actual achievements.
