Abstract

Foster´s brewery at Yatala have developed a G2-based real-time utilities consumption model (UCM) of its plant. The UCM is used to estimate the instantaneous load of key utilities at the brewery. The contributions of individual equipment to the load profile can be estimated providing an unprecedented level of transparency into areas that are (in a metered sense) unmeasured. A case study is included that demonstrates the application of the UCM for load identification for the extensive refrigeration system that is critical for the brewery operations.
