On October 29, a new electricity price model will be introduced that will affect companies and consumers all over Sweden. This model, called flow-based capacity calculation, regulates how electricity flows between different markets and electricity areas in the Nordics. It replaces an older, more linear method, and is expected to be better adapted to the energy supply in the green transition.
By analyzing energy and production data together, production managers can not only achieve improved energy efficiency, but also optimize their production processes. SenseNode is therefore launching a new function to integrate production data into Energy Analytics.
The simple answer is that a control system and Energy Management System (EMS) have different purposes and areas of focus, although they may partially overlap. An Energy Management System (EMS) makes it possible to understand the energy use in a facility or industrial operation, i.e. to help the business reduce its energy costs and carbon dioxide emissions by identifying and managing energy losses and leakage. While a control system is a broader term that can be used in areas such as industrial automation, process control, machine control and building automation. Although the systems may overlap in terms of energy use, there are reasons to use an EMS in addition to a control system to improve energy efficiency and achieve optimal energy use.
Internal debiting is the financial transactions that take place within a company. It could be, for example, that you have different cost centers or profit units. By allocating costs in the right place, you can get a fairer picture of how a certain department is performing.
As the new EU directive CSRD covers the entire business value chain and that there must be strategies for how the processes look going forward, this will mean the collection and analysis of large amounts of data. Doing that work manually will be very labor intensive and inefficient.
Do you want to take control of the business's energy use? Are you considering ISO 50001? A first step is to get started with energy measurement as part of the ongoing work.
Find out where the energy is being used. Energy monitoring is the basis of energy efficiency. Without accurate measurement data, decisions and actions are based on estimates and guesswork.
SaaS (Software as a Service) is in practice a service provided over the internet. Instead of installing software on a computer or server, it is available directly over the internet, for example via a website or an app. The supplier is responsible for the infrastructure and the technical know-how.
The energy mapping must be done every four years by measuring the total energy use in the company for a limited period. But there are several advantages to making energy mapping a part of your daily work.
Energy analytics is a term that refers to techniques and methods used to collect, analyze and visualize data on energy consumption and production.
An energy management system (EMS) is a system used to monitor, control and optimize energy use in a facility or industrial plant.
