Subject: automated energy management systems.Purpose: identification of the main prospects for the use of automated energy management systems.Materials and methods: in Russia each year, due to the scornful attitude towards energy saving, about 400 million tons of reference fuel are lost, while only every third company approaches the energy efficiency systemically. Savings of fuel and energy resources largely depend on the proper organization and feasibility of rationing fuel and energy costs. One of the priorities of the strategy of transition to energy-efficient production is to carry out systematic work on the implementation of a system of resource and energy saving — the formation of the energy policy of the enterprise. The introduction and development of energy metering systems (AIIS TUE) for the sake of increasing the transparency of consumption and distribution of energy resources is an integral part of the implementation of the company’s energy policy. Minimizing the influence of the human factor at all stages is easily amenable to mathematical description and, accordingly, automation. The paper shows that without automation of management processes and monitoring energy efficiency it is impossible to count on success. The main stages of the implementation of the energy management system at the enterprise are given.Results: it is shown that the main result of the introduction of an automated energy management system is to reduce costs by more than 10 %, with the identified potential for further savings of at least 15...20 %, which is achieved by cre­ating a completely transparent energy consumption environment, with its characteristic reliability determined efficiency of the processed information.Conclusions: automated energy management can become the core in which all information flows from all management systems that have an impact on energy efficiency will be consolidated. Properly constructed automated energy manage­ment systems are a universal tool for implementing the energy policy of an enterprise, a serious investment with a clear payback horizon and an positive financial result over a long period.

Aim: The purpose of the study is to present an overview of national and international energy management systems and suggest activities to enhance the quality of the realisation of the energy management systems in Russian industrial companies. Methods: The authors have used the description of the energy saving and energy management systems directions under research, the analysis of the qualitative properties of the energy management systems in use, structural and functional method for the development of the general structure and stages of functioning of the energy management systems. Results: During the research, the authors have revealed the necessity to unify separate directions of the energy saving policies of Russia’s industrial companies into the energy management system that is a subsystem of the overall enterprise management, combining the company’s strategic goals, energy auditing, training personnel in energy saving and energy efficiency enhancement, energy resources recording system, the formation, realisation and monitoring of the energy saving programme, and automation of the energy saving and energy efficiency enhancement activities. Conclusion: The realisation of the suggested measures will enable forming the conditions for the transition to a large-scale implementation of the energy management system, that fosters the realisation of the state policy in energy saving and energy efficiency enhancement.

Due to the increase of volatile renewable energy resources, additional flexibility will be necessary in the electricity system in the future to ensure a technically and economically efficient network operation. Although home energy management systems hold potential for a supply of flexibility to the grid, private end users often neglect or even ignore recommendations regarding beneficial behavior. In this work, the social acceptance and requirements of a participatively developed home energy management system with focus on (i) system support optimization, (ii) self-consumption and self-sufficiency optimization, and (iii) additional comfort functions are determined. Subsequently, the socially-accepted flexibility potential of the home energy management system is estimated. Using methods of online household survey, cluster analysis, and energy-economic optimization, the socially-accepted techno-economic potential of households in a three-community cluster sample area is computed. Results show about a third of the participants accept the developed system. This yields a shiftable load of nearly 1.8 MW within the small sample area. Furthermore, the system yields the considerably larger monetary surplus on the supplier-side due to its focus on system support optimization. New electricity market opportunities are necessary to adequately reward a systemically useful load behavior of households.

Purpose – This paper aims to describe research work to create an innovative, and intelligent solution for energy efficiency optimisation. Design/methodology/approach – A novel approach is taken to energy consumption monitoring by using ambient intelligence (AmI), extended data sets and knowledge management (KM) technologies. These are combined to create a decision support system as an innovative add-on to currently used energy management systems. Standard energy consumption data are complemented by information from AmI systems from both environment-ambient and process ambient sources and processed within a service-oriented-architecture-based platform. The new platform allows for building of different energy efficiency software services using measured and processed data. Four were selected for the system prototypes: condition-based energy consumption warning, online diagnostics of energy-related problems, support to manufacturing process lines installation and ramp-up phase, and continuous improvement/optimisation of energy efficiency. Findings – An innovative and intelligent solution for energy efficiency optimisation is demonstrated in two typical manufacturing companies, within one case study. Energy efficiency is improved and the novel approach using AmI with KM technologies is shown to work well as an add-on to currently used energy management systems. Research limitations/implications – The decision support systems are only at the prototype stage. These systems improved on existing energy management systems. The system functionalities have only been trialled in two manufacturing companies (the one case study is described). Practical implications – A decision support system has been created as an innovative add-on to currently used energy management systems and energy efficiency software services are developed as the front end of the system. Energy efficiency is improved. Originality/value – For the first time, research work has moved into industry to optimise energy efficiency using AmI, extended data sets and KM technologies. An AmI monitoring system for energy consumption is presented that is intended for use in manufacturing companies to provide comprehensive information about energy use, and knowledge-based support for improvements in energy efficiency. The services interactively provide suggestions for appropriate actions for energy problem elimination and energy efficiency increase. The system functionalities were trialled in two typical manufacturing companies, within one case study described in the paper.

With the development of wireless sensor networks, many building energy management systems are getting to adopt wireless sensor network as their communication infrastructure. However, the existing wireless sensor network protocols cannot satisfy the energy-saving demand of building energy management systems. Considering the characteristics of the building energy management system wireless sensor networks, a novel energy-efficient routing scheme is proposed called relay participated–new-type building energy management system. Nodes in the building energy management system wireless sensor networks are divided into two types: energy-limited nodes (battery powered) and energy-unlimited nodes (main powered, solar charger, or heat energy powered). Relay participated–new-type building energy management system allows energy-unlimited nodes to temporarily receive packets that are routed to a nearby energy-limited nodes. In this way, time synchronization for low-power sleep at media access control layer is no longer required, which reduces the delay and control overhead at media access control layer dramatically. Relay participated–new-type building energy management system reduces energy usage of energy-limited nodes and extend the lifetime of wireless sensor networks in new-type building energy management systems. Simulation results show that the relay participated–new-type building energy management system protocol significantly improves energy efficiency of limited energy nodes and reduces latency as compared to ad hoc on-demand distance vector–sensor medium access control and low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy.

Electricity demand is increasing, as a result of increasing consumers in the electricity market. By growing smart technologies such as smart grid and smart energy management systems, customers were given a chance to actively participate in demand response programs (DRPs), and reduce their electricity bills as a result. This study overviews the DRPs and their practices, along with home energy management systems (HEMS) and load management techniques. The paper provides brief literature on HEMS technologies and challenges. The paper is organized in a way to provide some technical information about DRPs and HEMS to help the reader understand different concepts about the smart grid, and be able to compare the essential concerns about the smart grid. The article includes a brief discussion about DRPs and their importance for the future of energy management systems. It is followed by brief literature about smart grids and HEMS, and a home energy management system strategy is also discussed in detail. The literature shows that storage devices have a huge impact on the efficiency and performance of energy management system strategies.
