Enmon for water utilities and process operations

Consumption. Generation. Reports.
One balance.

Pumps eat megawatts, the CHP unit and the hydro plant give them back, and the state wants reports every month. Enmon brings consumption and generation into one balance, and files the regulatory reports by itself.

A true story

Reports that file themselves

One water utility runs more than a treatment plant, it has generation of its own: a small hydro plant and a CHP unit. And generation brings an obligation: regular reporting to OTE, the Czech electricity market operator. Exactly the kind of paperwork technical staff shouldn’t be wasting time on.

They were looking for software that could handle energy management and carbon footprint at once, and Enmon was the only one that combined both. Today the small hydro plant reports its generation to OTE automatically, and the CHP unit has been in full operation since autumn.

The energy manager works with the balances daily; six more people look into the system, from power generation to building heating. One set of data, six different views.

Efficiency and balance

How much electricity does a cubic metre of water cost?

Site totals tell you nothing, pumping stations differ in head, discharge length and pump condition. Per-cubic-metre figures show where the energy leaks away. A model network of four stations:

Annual consumption of pumping stations

West station pumps at 0,66 kWh/m³, 55 % more than the comparable North. Typical causes: a worn impeller, a fouled discharge main, or a pump running off its optimal point. Metering gives a pump replacement a documented payback, and after the swap, verifies the manufacturer’s promise holds.

Daily site balance

You generate and you consume, and the ratio is what matters. This is the daily balance of a model site. See what a CHP maintenance shutdown does to it:

Generation

Small hydro plant8,2 MWh

CHP unit14,6 MWh

Solar PV3,1 MWh

Total25,9 MWh

Consumption

Water pumping31,4 MWh

Treatment technology9,8 MWh

Buildings and site2,3 MWh

Total43,5 MWh

own generation covers60 % of consumption

Grid purchase today: 17,6 MWh. A day-by-day balance is exactly what the energy manager brings to the morning meeting, and used to stitch together from five systems.

Model numbers, yours get measured.

Paperwork & oversight

Technicians should run water. Not portals.

SCADA runs the technology. Enmon sits alongside it, watching the economics of energy and taking on the paperwork that eats your specialists’ afternoons.

Reports without retyping

Generation reports to OTE and filings for other authorities are generated from metered data automatically. Deadlines are watched by the system, not the energy manager’s calendar.

The balance on the table daily

Consumption and generation by day and by building, one view for the energy manager who works with the data every day, and for colleagues who just look in.

Energy and carbon footprint together

The utility wanted software that could handle both at once, energy management and CO₂. One data foundation, no double entry.
