Aspen Utilities Planner™

Construct simulations in graphical modeling environment. The library of models in Aspen Utilities Planner has been specially developed for utility consuming systems. Equipment blocks and process streams can be visually placed to provide utility diagrams. Quickly reconfigure and estimate different scenarios compared to the preliminary utilities equipment layout. Tutorial: Aspen Utilities Planner Jump Start Guide Additional Resources >>		Optimize energy usage around constraints. Aspen Utilities Planner calculates a utilities forecast based on actual and future production demand while considering penalties, peak demand charges, and load factor contract clauses. The optimum utilities production plan accounts for operational, economic, and environmental constraints. Webinar: Optimize Utility Costs with Aspen Utilities Planner Additional Resources >>

Simplify use with Microsoft Excel add-in. Aspen Utilities Planner features a loadable add-in enabling the user to work in concert with Microsoft Excel to simulate, reconcile, and optimize a flowsheet. The add-in provides a spreadsheet environment through which model execution results can be imported and interpolated. Additional Resources >>		Provide online operational support in real time. The Online Optimizer feature connects a model to a real-time data historian, and uses collected operating data to construct an enhanced 24/7 operation model. The results can be displayed in any plant information system to provide plant operators real-time guidance to achieve optimal operation with lowest utility cost. Additional Resources >>
