Energy Management - Process and Organization

This document discusses energy management and provides definitions, objectives, and processes involved. It defines energy management as judiciously using energy to maximize profits and competitive position. The objectives are to optimize energy procurement and use, minimize costs and waste without affecting production, and minimize environmental impacts. Barriers include low energy prices and priorities elsewhere. Energy management involves planning, leading, organizing, and controlling. It is a total process that includes audits, implementing measures, monitoring, and continuous attention to energy. An organization with energy management has ongoing awareness, makes it a key investment factor, and monitors technologies.

Definition of Energy Management

“The judicious and effective use of energy to


maximize profits (minimize costs) and enhance
competitive positions”

“The strategy of adjusting and optimizing energy, using systems


and procedures so as to reduce energy requirements per unit of
output while holding constant or reducing total costs of
producing the output from these systems”
Definition of Energy Management

• The sum of measures planned and carried out


to achieve the objective of using the minimum
possible energy while the comfort levels (in
buildings) and the production rates (in
factories) are maintained.
Objectives of Energy Management

 To achieve and maintain optimum energy procurement and


utilization, throughout the organization

 To minimize energy costs / waste without affecting


production & quality

 To minimize environmental effects.         


BARRIERS/OBSTACLES TO ENERGY
MANAGEMENT

• Artificially low energy prices and little energy


consciousness.
• Higher priority to “more important” issues (For
example., keep plant running).
• Automation seen as more important than energy cost
management, in plant modernisation of plant.
• Lack of awareness and energy management expertise
• Lack of knowledge of own energy consumption
patterns/costs/ potential for saving
• Apathy on the part of managers and staff.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT INVOLVES ALL
FOUR MANAGERIAL FUNCTIONS

1. PLANNING

2. LEADING

3. ORGANISING

4. CONTROLLING
PLANNING

• Identifying the potential for energy cost savings:


- immediate/short term (no- &
low-cost)
- medium term
- long term.

• Drawing up plans/programmes/ strategies for realising this potential


(includes financial appraisal).

LEADING
• “Leading Upwards”: gaining the commitment and
backing of senior management and key people

• “Leading Sideways/Downwards”: inspiring and


motivating colleagues at all levels to become
involved in ongoing energy management
ORGANISING

• Marshalling the resources necessary to be able


to manage energy - For example:

- the necessary staff


- the necessary expertise
- the necessary technology
- the necessary equipment
• Putting in place the necessary structures and
lines of reporting
CONTROLLING

• Setting up the necessary ongoing


measurement/monitoring

• Setting objectives/targets for energy use and


cost savings

• Taking corrective action where necessary
