## Description

This MCP server provides specialized calculation engines to audit refinery energy consumption, efficiency, and fuel utilization. It connects AI agents to core energy balance methodologies, allowing for precise calculation of energy intensity, fuel equivalents, and cogeneration performance. Use `get_energy_intensity` to measure efficiency per barrel, `calculate_fuel_equivalent` to standardize energy carriers, `evaluate_cogeneration_performance` to assess CHP systems, and `identify_optimization_targets` to find cost-reduction opportunities.

## Tools

### evaluate_cogeneration_performance
Evaluate the efficiency of the combined heat and power (CHP) system

### get_energy_intensity
Calculate energy intensity per unit of production

### identify_optimization_targets
Identify significant opportunities to reduce energy costs and improve efficiency

### calculate_fuel_equivalent
Calculate total energy consumption expressed in a single standardized fuel unit

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the energy intensity if we consumed 500,000 GJ for 100,000 barrels?
```

**Response:** 
```
The energy intensity is 5.0 GJ per barrel.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the fuel equivalent for 100 units of fuel, 50 units of electricity (factor 0.34), and 20 units of steam (factor 0.75).
```

**Response:** 
```
The total fuel equivalent is 132.0 units.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is our cogeneration system performing well if we input 1000 units of fuel and produce 650 units of total energy (electricity + steam)?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the cogeneration efficiency is 65%, which is considered high performing.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How can I measure the efficiency of my refinery?**
You can use the `get_energy_intensity` tool to calculate the energy consumed per unit of production, such as energy per barrel of crude.

**Can I standardize different energy sources into one unit?**
Yes, the `calculate_fuel_equivalent` tool converts electricity and steam into a single standardized fuel unit using provided conversion factors.

**How do I find areas to reduce energy costs?**
The `identify_optimization_targets` tool analyzes current intensity and cogeneration efficiency to flag priority areas for improvement.
