In centrally heated industrial parks, the varying production processes, energy demand profiles, and usage schedules among different factories often lead to significant fluctuations in the steam load supplied by the cogeneration plant. These fluctuations give rise to a series of operational challenges:
1. Frequent variations in steam supply can cause changes in condensate levels and high-temperature steam flow within pipelines, potentially compromising pipeline safety.
2. Uneven distribution of steam resources may result in oversupply, energy waste, and generally low resource utilization efficiency.
3. Diverse energy demand patterns create difficulties in cost control and hinder the formulation of effective, rational energy allocation strategies.

To address these issues, WideIOT has developed an IoT-based steam energy metering and monitoring system for industrial parks, leveraging energy data acquisition gateways. Built on technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and cloud computing, the system enables comprehensive, real-time, and precise monitoring, management, and data analysis of steam consumption by individual enterprises within the park. It delivers visualized energy reports and provides reliable decision-making support.

Key Features

1. Data Acquisition and Transmission  
WideIOT energy data acquisition gateways connect to smart sensors and metering instruments installed at critical nodes in the steam pipeline network. They collect key parameters including steam flow rate, temperature, and pressure, and transmit the data wirelessly to the central data platform.

2. Alarm and Notification System  
Customizable alarm thresholds and notification rules can be set. When steam load, pipeline pressure, or other parameters exceed safe operating ranges, the system automatically sends alert messages to designated personnel via WeChat, SMS, or email, ensuring timely intervention.

3. Centralized Monitoring and Management  
The platform provides unified online monitoring and management of all energy facilities and energy-consuming enterprises within the park. Users can view equipment details and real-time data, perform editing and management operations, and maintain a clear, structured view of the entire energy network.

4. Energy Efficiency Reporting and Personalized Recommendations  
Based on actual energy consumption patterns and associated costs, the system generates energy efficiency assessment reports. These help the park administration understand utilization trends and efficiency levels, and offer tailored energy usage recommendations for individual enterprises.

5. Comprehensive Park-Level Energy Management  
The system supports holistic management of energy use across the entire park and individual companies. It provides insights into monthly energy costs, load profiles, top energy-consuming enterprises, alert frequencies, and other key metrics, enabling informed decision-making and targeted improvement measures.
