Abstract: A novel architecture for a real-time Utilities Consumption Model (UCM) has been developed. The online UCM is capable of estimating the contributions from individual items of equipment towards the total instantaneous load of key utilities in a manufacturing plant. It also has the capability to forecast future consumption for areas of a plant that are scheduled. The UCM is a useful addition to the industrial control tool-set as it provides an effective means of minimising the energy impact of the timing and scheduling aspects of plant operations. A case study, demonstrating the application of the UCM at the Carlton & United Breweries (CUB) plant at Yatala, Australia, is included.
