4 advantages of an energy management system
February 25, 2021
In factory production, energy savings and environmental care must be kept in mind in order to reduce the impact of disruptions and have a better place to live. One of the most demanding aspects is the use of electrical energy; to control it in industries, an energy management system (EMS) is required. **What is an energy management system?** It is the interaction that an industry or organization has to meet energy objectives. Among its components is everything capable of supplying, distributing, consuming or measuring energy. With an energy management system, it is easy to identify where and how energy expenditures occur in order to take measures to control them. This type of system is backed by standards that seek continuous improvement, such as ISO 50001. They are also based on the Deming PDCA cycle, which stands for Plan-Do-Check-Act, with a focus on measuring energy consumption to optimize it. **What are the advantages of an energy management system?** * Operating costs are reduced and energy waste is detected through energy efficiency indicators. * A consumption projection is obtained to be able to choose the appropriate energy suppliers. * Information visualization is intuitive in reports that can be consulted from mobile devices. * The systems are scalable, meaning that integration can begin with basic solutions and then expand to multiple solutions. SIEMENS provides solutions tailored to the needs of industries, such as SIMATIC Energy Manager PRO, which offers both optimized and economical energy management. It is a unique and comprehensive cutting-edge solution that complies with legal standards, such as ISO 50001 requirements. It has the capacity to perform an analysis of machinery, systems and plants to maintain control of energy efficiency. With this solution, complex raw data is no longer analyzed; instead, performance indicators are used. The benefits obtained as a plant operator include the ability to plan energy cost savings, while a configuration engineer provides integrated solutions with stability for production machinery or the entire plant. If you wish to achieve efficient energy management for your processes or increase the use of renewable energy, do not hesitate to implement this system in your industry.
