Energy Management System: ABB Ability Energy and Asset Manager
I. Energy Efficiency
A 4-step Process:
1. Survey and Coverage
- defining the coverage
- identifying and assessing the structure of energy distribution systems and monitoring points
2. Monitoring and Auditing
- setting a precise and clear energy savings target
- Cargo and Process Analysis
- calculating current emissions
3. Optimization
- identifying possible options to optimize energy consumption
4. Comparison, Adjustment and Forecast
- evaluating the effect compared to past observations
- repeating the optimization process
II. Evolution of power distribution systems
A key factor for new technologies
1. Past
- 1 network analyzer for local monitoring of electrical installations with high accuracy
- possibility of additional local network analyzers
2. Present
- additional installation of measuring devices on the distribution system with medium/high accuracy
- use of a local monitoring system
3. Near Future
- all electrical parameters will be measured with high accuracy
- all devices will exchange information with the cloud
