Energy Management System for an Integrated Pulp and Paper Mill

The paper discusses practical solutions and experiences of an Energy Management Systems installed in Enso-Gutzeit Oyas Tainionkoski Mills, in Eastern Finland. The project started in the autumn of 1980 as a co-operation project between Enso-Gutzeit Oy and Oy Advanced Forest Automation Ab as a supplier. The system was brought on line in the beginning of 1983. This Energy Management System is specially developed for integrated pulp and paper mills, where the energy cost is a fast growing part of production costs, the fluctuations in energy demand are continuous and where the variety of energy producers and users gives cause for a mill-wide coordination and information system.
