Abstract

The paper considers the issues of managing the power consumption of an enterprise for the production of copper. The solution of these issues was carried out during the instrumental examination of the power supply system (SES) of the enterprise based on the results of a comprehensive energy audit. An analysis was made of the dynamics of electricity consumption for 2015-2018. It has been established that the uniformity of electricity consumption for production is maintained. The average monthly electricity consumption for 2017 was: for technology - 39,637 thousand kWh; for general shop expenses (general plant) - 6942 thou- sand kWh; in general, for production - 46579 thousand kWh. The total electricity consumption for production by product type is presented, taking into account the auxiliary consumption of all sections for the period 2015-2017. It was found that, compared with 2015, electricity consumption in 2017 for the most energy-intensive processes for electrolytic and blister copper and decreased by 6 % and 1.5 %, respectively, at the same time, an increase in consumption was observed for the production of technical sulfur, in 2016 by 7 %, in 2017 by 15 %...
