Energy Management Software (EMS) is a general term and category referring to a variety of energy-related software [1] applications, which provide energy management including utility bill tracking, real-time energy metering, consumption control (building HVAC and lighting control systems), generation control (solar PV and ESS), building simulation and modeling, carbon and sustainability ...
Energy demand management, also known as demand-side management (DSM) or demand-side response (DSR), [1] is the modification of consumer demand for energy through various methods such as financial incentives [2] and behavioral change through education.
IT energy management or Green IT is the analysis and management of energy demand within the Information Technology department in any organization. IT energy demand accounts for approximately 2% of global CO 2 emissions, approximately the same level as aviation, [1] and represents over 10% of all the global energy consumption (over 50% of aviation's energy consumption). [2]
EnergyCAP is a family of energy management and energy accounting software products and services, used for tracking, processing, reporting, benchmarking, and analyzing utility bills and comprehensive energy and sustainability management and reporting. EnergyCAP also interfaces with the EPA Energy Star Portfolio Manager. Multiple versions of ...
Energy management includes planning and operation of energy production and energy consumption units as well as energy distribution and storage. Energy management is performed via Energy Management Systems (EMS) , which are designed with hardware and software components to implement the tasks.
Demand response, a type of energy demand management, seeks to adjust in real-time the demand for power instead of adjusting the supply. Utilities may signal demand requests to their customers in a variety of ways, including simple off-peak metering, in which power is cheaper at certain times of the day, and smart metering , in which explicit ...
Since electrical energy is a form of energy that cannot be effectively stored in bulk, it must be generated, distributed, and consumed immediately. When the load on a system approaches the maximum generating capacity, network operators must either find additional supplies of energy or find ways to curtail the load, hence load management.
