Energy management system
Energy management system
Energy Management Software is useful for the Operators as well as the stakeholders & management.
It helps to understand the consumption pattern of the plant. It displays the data in an intuitive way which empowers users to track energy wastage or any abnormal consumption. Hence the Process of energy management becomes very simple with this software.

Advantages of Using Energy Management System Over Manual energy data logging
| Sr.no | Energy Management System(EMS) | Manual energy Data Logging (Conventional) |
| Reports | ||
| 1 | EMS can provide daily/weekly/monthly & annual energy consumption reports with just few clicks. | The operator has to visit every Electrical panel, check the energy meter reading, Note it down & then enter the data manually into excel sheet. Hence it is a tedious process. |
| 2 | Reports generated through EMS are Highly accurate because data is logged instantaneously. | The operator cannot check reading of all energy meter at same time hence there is always a difference of few KWH. |
| 3 | Apart from energy consumption, report of other important electrical parameters such as Harmonics, Power Quality, Power Factor can be easily generated. | Generating such report manually is not possible. |
| Trends | ||
| 4 | Any power disturbance such as Over-voltage , Under-voltage etc. can be investigated easily by observing trends of that energy meter | Such analysis is not possible. |
| Alarms | ||
| 5 | EMS generates alarms whenever any parameter exceeds its set-point. | Not possible to observe each feeder for any disturbance |
| 6 | The operator can be notified about these alarms via Email & SMS. Hence the operator is Alerted about condition in real time & hence corrective action can be taken immediately. | The operator is unaware of any disturbance until it causes any significant damage such as damage to equipment, fire etc. |
| Energy cost reporting | ||
| 7 | EMS can be used to generate energy cost report. This makes it easy for operator to forecast & check if the electricity Bill from Utility is Correct & there is no error. | The correctness of electricity bills cannot be checked |
| Energy Analysis | ||
| 8 | EMS has tools which help operator to understand the consumption pattern of plant. The operator can also track the wastage of energy & scope of savings. | Manual data logs cannot give such useful insights about consumption & energy wastage.
