NovaSys Automation offers Energy Management System (EMS) with an exclusive focus on Ethernet/ Fiber Optical networking to gather real time energy data. An Energy Monitoring System is a computer based centralized system that helps to manage and monitor particular engineering services within a plant or group of plants. Use of an EMS can limit energy costs and labour requirements by improving plant efficiency and effectiveness. An EMS has evolved from being a supervisory control tool (SCADA) to a totally integrated computerized monitoring system.
When it comes to energy saving, energy management is the process of monitoring, controlling, and conserving energy in a Factory or organization. Typically this involves the following steps:
- Metering your energy consumption and collecting the data.
- Energy Monitoring & Reporting.
- Finding opportunities to save energy, and estimating how much energy each opportunity could save. You would typically analyze your meter data to find and quantify routine energy waste, and you might also investigate the energy savings that you could make by replacing equipment (e.g. Motors & lighting) or by upgrading your Factory insulation.
- Taking action to target the opportunities to save energy (i.e. tackling the routine waste and replacing or upgrading the inefficient equipment). Typically you'd start with the best opportunities first.
- Tracking your progress by analyzing your meter data to see how well your energy-saving efforts have worked.
