Demand Forecasting
Accurately calculating electrical demand in real time.

Having the proper information at the right time improves decision making at all levels.  In electrical systems, calculating the current demand can be time-consuming and prone to errors.  The ESAC Demand Forecast Block automates this process so that your operators can spend their time analyzing data instead of generating it.  With demand forecasting, you can be confident that your money is directed to where you need it most.

SCADA Software Integration - The demand forecast block is integrated directly into Intellution FIX32 or iFIX so that it appears as any other tag would.  You won't be able to tell the difference between your electrical demand and any other data point from the field.  Direct integration into the SCADA software not only saves time and trouble during the initial plant design, but is easily scalable should your plant grow to require more data points.

Real-time Demand Calculation - Being able to continuously derive the current demand, the demand forecast block easily provides you with the most recent demand measurements.  To suit your needs, both 15 and 60 minute times are available.  Your operators will easily be able to gauge the electrical output of the system as it responds to changes.

Trending - The demand forecast block becomes a primary tag in your SCADA system.  Trending can help management determine when peak times occur by examining past variations in demand.  Staying on top of such trends will help you deliver the most effective energy costing. Click to enlarge.
