Summary
Jianyu Zhou updated the structure for the visualized energy management system at Colgate-Palmolive.
Goals
The Engineering, EHS, and D&A departments of Colgate-Palmolive are collaborating to create an authentic and efficient smart energy platform for sustainable energy management. This platform will proactively identify energy-saving opportunities and optimize power consumption. Additionally, it will promptly notify the engineering and end-user departments in case of any abnormal power consumption, enabling them to respond swiftly and effectively.
Solutions
JIanyu Zhou approached the challenge using a three-part process:
- Information updating and data processing: Zhou effectively updated the diagrams of the smart electricity meters, ensuring the inclusion of newly installed meters and removing any deactivated ones.
- Establishing the hierarchical structure of the power system: Zhou established a well-organized hierarchical classification structure for the meters. This structure was based on their nesting relationships, allowing for efficient data management. Moreover, Zhou seamlessly incorporated relevant data into the electric meter structure, further enhancing its integrity and effectiveness.
- Developing a mini-program of data visualization: To facilitate the analysis and identification of key areas for power optimization, Zhou skillfully developed a mini-program using Python.
