In today’s industrial landscape, fuel and power costs are significant, especially for large mines, construction sites, and ports relying on diesel generators (DGs) for auxiliary and backup power. Mindshift Analytics introduces an advanced electrical power analytics solution designed to optimize the management of diesel generators, typically with a capacity of 100KVA or more. Our software leverages IoT technology, integrating fuel level sensors and electrical energy meters to collect real-time data, providing detailed insights and actionable intelligence to enhance the efficiency of DG operations.


KEY FEATURES

Mindshift’s software offers real-time data collection and cloud-based reporting, providing up-to-the-minute insights accessible from anywhere. Custom alerts for fuel pilferage, load imbalances, and efficiency drops keep clients informed and proactive. Transparent allocation of energy and fuel costs enhances financial accuracy and accountability, while monitoring engine performance and load distribution helps optimize overall operational efficiency.


PRACTICAL APPLICATION

An example from our solution highlights its practical application. A typical site power distribution might include a 630kVA grid transformer and a 400kVA diesel generator powering various operations such as the site office, hot mix plant, and RMC plant. Key attributes being monitored and managed include accurate distribution of energy costs, comprehensive tracking of fuel receipt and stock levels, and real-time monitoring of load, power factor, and engine efficiency.


The solution addresses several key issues:


  • Energy and Fuel Allocation: Precise allocation of fuel costs and energy consumption across operations ensures transparent and accurate cost management.

  • Fuel Pilferage Management: Continuous fuel level monitoring detects discrepancies, helping to curb fuel theft.

  • Engine Efficiency Monitoring: Real-time tracking of engine performance reduces downtime and maintenance costs.

  • Load and Power Factor Monitoring: Monitoring load distribution and power factor avoids penalties and ensures efficient power usage.

  • Grid and DG Power Logging: Comprehensive logging of power usage provides a complete picture of energy consumption patterns.

  • Energy Bill Reconciliation: Automated reconciliation of energy bills against actual usage data eliminates errors, ensuring accurate billing.


CONCLUSION

Mindshift Analytics’ electrical power analytics solution is a game-changer for industries relying on large diesel generators. By providing detailed insights into energy and fuel usage, detecting anomalies, and optimizing efficiency, our solution helps manage operational expenses effectively, leading to significant cost savings and enhanced operational efficiency. We are committed to delivering innovative solutions that transform how you manage your energy resources.
