Dispatching Control of Industrial Facility Power Consumption

The present article deals with the problem of dispatching control of facility energy consumption. This work describes the energy consumption model, which includes the properties of periodic loads common for any type of the processing industry. Therefore it can be employed for all the branches of industry, working with time tariffs. The paper proposes the principle of hourly rate setting and forecasting energy consumption for complex industrial facilities. The hourly chart of equipment load of the iron and steel plant's melting shop is designed in accordance with the proposed principle. The designed chart has been evaluated based on the index of the energy consumption cost reduction.
