As utility companies use various mechanisms of Demand Side Management (DSM) to regulate and modify consumer demand for energy, manufacturing plants also look for ways to improve the quality/cost ratio by saving energy cost. Several approaches are available for a plant to save energy, one of which is to reschedule the operation hours of electrical devices and take advantage of incentives and favorable pricing offered by utilities. This paper attempts to develop a load schedule optimization model for plants to minimize the cost incurred by energy consumption. Many practical factors are considered in the model, such as electrical device clustering, night schedule extra labor charge, devices with fixed operation schedules, etc. A discussion of solutions to the optimization model is presented. An online tool for energy assessment and load optimization is also briefly introduced.Index Terms-Power usage, load management, load optimization, load shifting, peak power demand.

The purpose of electrical load management in a manufacturing plant is to change the load profile in order to gain from reduced total system peak load and increased power factor. One of the widely taken approaches is to optimize the schedule of electrical equipment operation hours to take advantage of incentives and favorable pricing offered by utilities. In this paper, we present our work in designing and developing a web based tool for manufacturing plants to find out an optimal operation schedule of equipment so as to reduce energy cost. The tool allows users to configure their load by specifying electrical devices and their various parameters. Then the online system will assess power consumption over a certain time period, as well as peak power demand and power factor of the defined load.
