Development and application of online energy analysis system based on software integration and communications

An online energy analysis system for paper machine dryer section is developed. The data and information share is realized in different types of database. Supervisory and analysis software plays an important role in the system, such as iFIX of GE and eTMS. the techniques of gathering and analyzing the real time data from the paper machine dryer section and communication between different software are also introduced. The running result of the test shows that the system has a good effect for the paper machine optimizing operation, energy-saving, and consumption-reducing.
