Energy management systems – EMS
Today, with the energy concepts development and almost incessant increase in power consumption, electric energy has become ever more important and vital resource. Therefore, not only energy production, but also it is monitoring, and efficiency upgrading is increasing every day. Power supply should combine the high quality and inexpensive cost, as energy efficiency is one of the most important elements of socio-economic growth and development. To meet the energy demand the most economical and effective way is energy control. The growth of demand and absence of common energy source, requirement for investments, advanced technologies and high quality specialists, also shows the importance of energy efficiency. Improper use of advantages of International standards of new technologies; losses and leakages and, consequently, appreciation of living and property, as well as severization of safety requirements all these carry great risks. These risks and losses are needed; their goal is to minimize energy consumption and keeping an optimal level of energy supply. The most effective way to achieve this is the full control of power flows, its production, monitoring of consumption and use of tracking system with set parameters of received energy. For this purpose work the Energy management systems, which offer to customers all benefits of technology and efficiency. These includes monitoring of power plants efficiency and technical services of systems.
For exact definition the energy consumption, it is necessary the combined approach: Data collection is formed by measuring the resources consumption in real time. Measurement of gross energy consumption goes beyond the common recording. Monitoring involves measuring of gross energy, finding where the lack of power supply, and where is the oversupply. Normalization / reduction, energy consumption is a block that user can considered as “reshuffling” of energy. Different users can consume different amounts of energy. Manufacturers use electric energy for production capacities (For example, “1 kW/h capacity”), for schoolteachers this measurement can mean “kW/h per student and study time.” In addition, this block allows to perform normalization of power stream, elimination of external disturbance in energy consumption for various enterprises. Archiving, data storage for a long time and resources are necessary for analysis. Visualization / data reporting, statistics must be easy to read and understandable (mostly as diagrams). Based on power supply reports can be found malfunctions of energy consumption and causes of its occurrence. Such reporting aid in power supply optimization, and help control the return to investments in the energy sector. Energy efficiency is regulated by ISO 50001. These international energy efficiency standards governing energy savings, cost savings and environmental requirements.
