The overall scientific and technical aim of the ENERGY-SMARTOPS project is to take a pivotal role  in  demonstrations  of  creative  ideas  for  energy  savings  in  large  scale  industrial  sites  making  the  best possible  use  of  measurements  from  all  plant  subsystems:  process,  utilities,  mechanical  equipment  and electrical equipment. The project integrates in-depth understanding of the operational issues with analysis of measurements and first-principles physical knowledge to invent and develop tools that will be deployed in the field in case studies with the transmission operator partners. Three specific research objectives are: 

• To develop scalable and complete equipment monitoring systems 

• To devise new algorithms for overall performance monitoring and control

• To study ways that energy savings can be achieved
