Delta Electronics, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Kenko Hua; hereinafter 'Delta Electronics') has agreed with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Eisaku Ito; hereinafter 'MHI') to conduct a technical study aimed at advancing energy management at MHI's Mihara Machinery Works (Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture), a decarbonization model factory.
This partnership, as part of MHI's efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040, aims to optimize energy use and improve operational efficiency at manufacturing sites. Delta Electronics aims to provide an advanced Energy Management System (EMS) utilizing energy data analysis and consulting, IoT connectivity and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), as well as AI and digital twin technologies.
The Mihara Machinery Works, as the 'Carbon Neutral Transition Hub Mihara' (CNTH Mihara), is one of the key sites supporting MHI's phased low- and de-carbonization promotion strategy. It plays a leading role in advancing energy management and improving energy use efficiency at domestic and international factories through the implementation of advanced solutions and technology development.
Based on this agreement, Delta Electronics will first conduct a preliminary investigation phase. In this phase, Delta will evaluate the measurement infrastructure, data connectivity, communication environment, and data management system at CNTH Mihara. Additionally, Delta will conduct its 'GX Co-creation Energy Workshop' with MHI to identify potential energy-saving measures and organize KPIs for effect measurement. They will also proceed with studying a system architecture utilizing IoT, looking ahead to future energy data integration and advanced management.
Based on the results of this phase, both companies plan to proceed with discussions on the next steps, including the formulation of an implementation roadmap for advanced energy management and the development of IoT infrastructure.
Through this study, both companies aim to accumulate knowledge for optimizing energy use and operations at MHI's manufacturing sites and promoting GX. In the future, they will also consider the feasibility of realizing advanced energy management utilizing AI and digital twin technologies. Through this, they aim to establish a new energy optimization management model applicable to the entire manufacturing industry.
Delta Electronics will contribute to improving energy efficiency and promoting decarbonization in the industrial sector by leveraging its long-cultivated power electronics technology and digital energy management solutions. By continuing to support the GX promotion of the manufacturing industry, Delta will contribute to the realization of a sustainable, carbon-neutral society.
**[Details of the Preliminary Investigation Phase]**
1. Evaluation of On-site Readiness
Evaluate the current situation from the perspectives of measurement infrastructure, data connectivity, communication environment, and data management to assess the factory's data maturity and system connectivity. This will organize the basic information necessary for considering measurement/communication infrastructure and control architecture for future advanced energy management.
2. Implementation of GX Co-creation Energy Workshop
Identify potential energy-saving measures by understanding energy usage through a factory floor walk-through. At the same time, define KPIs for measuring the effectiveness of these measures and organize a framework to enhance the effectiveness of energy improvement activities.
3. Design of Solution Architecture
Consider a system architecture with an eye on future IoT connection and energy data integration, and present a direction for building a foundation for advanced energy management using AI and digital twins.
