Energy Management Systems

The term energy management from the past few years is becoming increasingly important. Not only the trend toward clean energy sources triggered a process of rethinking in the minds of society but also pushed the politics to create incentives for companies in order to make them reduce their carbon footprint. The efficient use of energy can be described as an integral part of current political, social and economic decision making.From a business perspective energy efficient production is no longer just considered under the ecological aspect. Through high taxes, huge energy costs and steadily increasing energy prices, there is for companies in the relatively young field of energy management enormous potential to financially improve and consequently save costs sustainably. Furthermore starting from 2015 the energy peak equalization law is made stricter, requiring companies to pay even more in taxes if they fail to fulfill all the requirements set by the politics.Hence the role of energy management systems (EnMS), which deal with the continuous and systematic improvement of the energy performance of businesses, is becoming increasingly important.This paper will deal with an energy management system that was developed by the Institute for factory automation and production systems at Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg. The paper audits the proposed concept and checks it for consistency with the international energy management norm ISO 50001. Additionally all the corrections and necessary optimizations are made in order to provide the companies with a complete energy management system.The aim of this paper is to verify and check the EnMS concept which was developed in the institute for factory automation and production systems (FAPS) for its conformity with the International ISO 50001 standard. Thus ensuring the long term certification according to DIN ISO 50001.

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.

Home Energy Management System

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.

Abstract The global pressing need to protect the environment, save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide has prompted the enterprises to implementing both individual energy saving measures and a more systematic approach to improve the overall enterprise’s energy performance. Energy management is becoming a priority as enterprises strive to reduce energy costs, conform to regulatory requirements, and improve their corporate image. As such, enterprises are encouraged to manage their energy related matters in a systematic manner and a more harmonized way, to ensure continual improvement on their energy efficiency. Despite the increasing interest in energy management standards, a gap persists between energy management literature and current implementation practices. The release of the ISO 50001 international standard was meant to help the organizations develop sound energy management systems and effective process-based energy management structures that could be recognized through third-party certification. Building on the energy management literature and energy management standards, the current paper presents the essential steps the enterprises should take to practically design a sustainable energy management system. Also, by using multiple case studies of enterprises that have implemented an ISO 50001 energy management system, it introduces a structured approach that companies can use to effectively develop their energy planning and improve energy performance. The key components of the enterprise’s energy planning are discussed, as well as practical examples of energy objectives and performance indicators from various industries are offered. The paper shows that by establishing an effective energy planning system, this will efficiently meet demands for achieving energy performance indicators and international certification.

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.

Demand Response Programs

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.
