    Enhancing Energy Efficiency in The Electrical Processes and Systems of Industrial Facilities: A Case Study for The Petra Glass and Mirror Company in Jericho – Palestine

    The need to increase the energy efficiency of manufacturing processes has gained attention due to growing energy prices and more onerous regulations. Governments and corporations from numerous nations are working hard to create technologies for managing energy and creating new energy sources. This research illustrates an integrated design for the Petra Factory in Jericho Industrial City Energy Efficiency Management system (EEM). The goal of this strategy is to reduce energy consumption and thus discount the electricity bill and reduce the percentage of greenhouse gases) GHGs). The photovoltaic system (PV) was expanded, the power factor (PF) was optimized, electrical systems were simulated using the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), and heavy machinery was scheduled to operate to avoid peak demand. This study demonstrated that there is a clear possibility of achieving the goal. The RET-Screen program was able to determine the optimal economic and environmental feasibility of the PV system expansion strategy. The PV system is expected to generate 426 MWh of electricity per year. The other metric was the 337 ton/year Carbone dioxide (CO2) decline. Along with decline the factory amount of electricity utilized, increasing the PF from 0.87 to 0.95 yielded, this means saving 18,712.5 kWh/year of electricity consumption. The strategy of replacing old electrical systems with more energy-efficient electrical systems reduced the amount of energy utilized by 140746KWh/year significantly, the adoption of the IoT will clearly have an influence on the electricity bill. The factory will save money on electricity costs by timing the hours that the production lines are work. It is possible to avoid using combustion machines during the peak demand period
