Energy Management Systems

Conserving energy becomes part of business culture, and it describes by reducing energy consumption to achieve the same works. Due to increasing internal demand on energy in many parts of the world, it has pushed societal expectations to oil companies toward rigorously conserve energy and explores ways to enhance its energy performance. As global energy demand soars, it is known that the industries, power plants and transportation sectors are the main contributors to the intensive utilization of energy resources. The demand from the growing population has overwhelmed current capacity. It is inevitable, therefore, many oil companies are now participating in on-going efforts to conserve energy, and do so in a sustainable manner by means of implementing energy management systems (EnMS) in accordance to internationally recognized standards. However, its progress has just been seen and unfortunately, most of oil companies are far away from a matured management to excel in energy performance. It appears that many of oil companies consider EnMS as an ambition rather than a platform to excel in energy performance. In fact, cost reduction is a main focus instead of exploring other hidden benefits of EnMS. More seriously, lack of dedicated steps to push for the successful implementation. This paper discusses a systematic approach that drive for full implementation of EnMS at one of the leading oil companies.

Energy Efficiency And Conservation

Energy efficiency and conservation become an integral part of the business culture, and it simply means using less energy to perform the same tasks. Due to increasing internal demand on energy in many parts of the world, societal expectations for comprehensive approaches on energy efficiency have been forced into focus. As world energy demand soars, it is known that the manufacturing, power generation and transportation sectors are the main consumers to the intensive utilization of energy resources. The demand from the growing population has overwhelmed the current capacity. It is inevitable; therefore, many oil companies are now participating in on-going efforts to conserve energy, and do so in a sustainable manner by means of implementing energy management systems (EnMS) in accordance to internationally recognized standards. However, its progress has just been seen, and unfortunately, most of the oil companies are far away from matured management to excel in energy performance. Most of the oil companies consider EnMS as ambition and certificate on the wall rather than a driving vehicle to become a reference company. In fact, cost reduction is the main focus rather than to explore other hidden benefits of EnMS. More seriously, lack of dedicated measures and right strategies to push for the successful implementation. This paper discusses proven strategies that drive for full realization of EnMS benefits.

The hotel industry is an important energy consumer that needs efficient energy management methods to guarantee its performance and sustainability. The new role of hotels as prosumers increases the difficulty in the design of these methods. Also, the scenery is more complex as renewable energy systems are present in the hotel energy mix. The performance of energy management systems greatly depends on the use of reliable predictions for energy load. This paper presents a new methodology to predict energy load in a hotel based on intelligent techniques. The model proposed is based on a hybrid intelligent topology implemented with a combination of clustering techniques and intelligent regression methods (Artificial Neural Network and Support Vector Regression). The model includes its own energy demand information, occupancy rate, and temperature as inputs. The validation was done using real hotel data and compared with time-series models. Forecasts obtained were satisfactory, showing a promising potential for its use in energy management systems in hotel resorts.

Energy Management Systems

Certified energy management systems suffer from a perception that they require exhaustive quantities of time and resources to operate, and that this time could be more beneficially spent saving energy through improvement projects. It is commonplace for processes such as energy performance indicator development, energy review and action planning to be implemented in manual and hence resource-intensive processes. No effective web-based tools currently exist to aid end users in processes. As part of an embedded study working with three large manufacturing companies, it was found that 5–75 days were spent implementing these three key aspects of a structured energy management system. Web-based solutions offer the potential to streamline the operation of these resource heavy components of energy management systems. This article focuses on the early stage development and beta testing of a web-based action planning and energy project visualisation tool which has been developed and tested on one of the embedded study participants. The results from this testing demonstrate a wiliness of the participant companies to engage with web-based tools to minimise their ISO 50001 resource requirements once they are designed in such a way as to facilitate ease of use.

This paper presents a novel methodology that track and measures the overall energy performance in oil and gas companies based on the leading energy performance indicator (EnPI). Although such tool does not directly measure an actual and reflect an as-is operational data of the companies’ energy performance, it tracks the achievements in the key work processes or the implementation status of an Energy Management Systems (EnMS). As introduced by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 2011, EnMS consists of interacting elements from proven deployment and implementation steps based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) continual improvement framework. The lacks of industrial standards and literature have resulted in the sparse application of leading EnPI. The proposed leading EnPI tool is based on the defined activities that affect the deployment and implementation of EnMS. Such tool is required for continuous improvement and promotion of strong partnership among all stakeholders. To illustrate the proposed methodology, the progress of EnMS implementation, identification of energy-saving initiatives, and review of potential energy savings of the major oil and gas companies are performed.
