Statistics show that energy is one of the highest operating costs in a manufacturing enterprise. So, improving energy efficiency can lead to a significant increase in profits and reduce the impact of the enterprise on the environment. To increase the performance of energy efficiency activities, it is necessary to implement an energy management system. One of the components of this system is energy monitoring, which, in turn, is based on the periodic collection and analysis of data to assess the state of the monitoring objects in terms of energy efficiency. In this paper, the role and place of energy monitoring in the energy management system of an industrial enterprise are noted. The paper proposes the concept of creating energy monitoring system in industrial companies, which is based on the combination of a monitoring system based on specific energy consumption, and usage of group energy characteristics of production facilities. Implementing such energy monitoring systems will allow to conduct operational control of energy efficiency of production facilities by creating individual systems for monitoring energy efficiency, as well as successfully carry out such monitoring at the enterprise and its subdivisions over longer periods of time using specific energy consumption indicators. It also provides general guidelines for conducting energy monitoring. These guidelines were formed based on the results of studying various methods and scientific publications in the field of energy monitoring, as well as on the basis of practical experience in the development and implementation of energy management systems. Particular attention is paid to the issues of processing and analysis of information about the objects of energy monitoring of industrial enterprises. The practical application of the concept of creating energy monitoring systems envisages gradual improvement of the existing monitoring system based on the specific energy consumption, which will be further completely replaced with individual energy efficiency monitoring systems.

At present, there is a serious energy crisis around the globe which impacts greatly on the power grid. A smart and user friendly energy management system can control the energy consumption. In this paper, load power and energy management system is developed and simulated using Proteus Visual Design software.  The load analysis and measurement techniques are developed for single phase and three phase loads and implemented using Arduino Mega 2560 board.  User friendly controls are developed using the visual design feature of the software to control the energy consumption. The load power management system is simulated by measuring the power consumed by various residential loads such as lights, fans, air-conditioners, heaters. The industrial loads are simulated by squirrel cage induction motor. The load analysis summary is displayed on the Arduino 2.8 inch TFT display shield in a table format. The simulaion model is created for future hardware implementation and is tested under various practical input conditions. The Proteus Visual Design software is chosen in this resesarch due to its advantages such as professional PCB layout package, availability of nearly 800 microcontrollers in the library package etc.The developed model successfully measured the energy consumption of several loads and assist the user in controlling the energy usage through automation control techniques. The accuracy of the results shows that the technique and the model developed in this research can be used by engineers, students and hobbyists who are working with energy monitoring systems and smart home applications directly. This is an ongoing project where in the next stage, the hardware design of the simulation model will be implemented and tested in real time application.

Nowadays, universities are taking responsibility for their environmental impact and are working to ensure environmental sustainability. In this research, we aim to analyze energy system of a model university campus in southern China and grasp the energy consumption of the whole campus from the viewpoint of reducing GHG emission. We investigated and analyzed the present situation of energy system by using measured data and inquiry survey. In order to grasp the data exactly, we introduced building energy management system (BEMS) to some typical buildings with electricity consumption controlling. Then examination of energy consumption intensity according the different typical buildings has been analyzed on the basis of the research at campus. The campus's energy consumption prediction was carried out during the 24-h field measurements period. Furthermore, energy consumption intensity of the whole campus were predicted.

It is an increasingly urgent demand for Cigarette manufacturers to promote energy conservation. Energy management system is an important tool to further reduce energy consumption and improve energy efficiency for cigarette manufacturers. In this paper, the design principles, the overall framework and the system function of the energy management system in a cigarette manufacturer are introduced. After energy management system is put into operation, comprehensive energy consumption per unit product is about 16.35% shorter than before. It has some reference value for the construction of other cigarette enterprise.
