Introduction
Energy consumption is a mandatory requirement for
each and every enterprise to produce their product and relatively to
generate their profit. EMS system balances sources of energy and the
consumption of energy to achieve the lowest cost.
The current increased cost of energy had brought to the public
concern on the environment impact of energy used, and the rapid
liberalization of the power and energy industry throughout the world,
have combined to increase the relevance and importance of EMS system in
an increasingly technological and resource-hungry world.
To improve the
efficiency of the power supply, a monitoring system is mandatory, which
will monitor the incoming supply and indirectly lead to energy saving.
What Is EMS System?
Are you
aware that 15 – 20% of your total production cost is contributed towards
paying the electricity bill? And do you know that you are liable for not
only the actual Usage (kWh), but also the Peak Demand (kW), which is 39 – 60% of your bill? However, with
EMS system, the total electricity charge can be reduced without changing
the total usage by managing your load profile to reduce the Peak Demand.
The EMS
system provides the ability to gather system information accurately and
reliably without much time consuming.
The system
typically provides basic electrical parameters, power, energy, power
quality disturbances and distortions, as well as device status, alarms
and time stamped event information.
In a
manufacturing plant or refinery, it may take 1 to 5 man-days per month to
gather and store the basic routine data. This labor can now be eliminated
with the help of EMS system. In fact, the data gathered automatically by
EMS system can be more comprehensive and easier to analyze than what is
gathered manually.
