Abstract :
In many regions of the world the management of energy conserves is a challenging task. Numerous factors inclusive of economic, environmental and political are having substantial effects on energy management practices, leading to a variety of reservations in appropriate decision making. Energy Management System (EnMS) provides a standardized roadmap for organization efficiency, effectiveness and profitability. By using the EnMS techniques, energy losses could be reduced, and there is substantial saving of fuel which could be used for further power generation. ISO50001:2011 is the standard that deals with EnMS. The objective of the current research work is to pinpoint the optimal approaches in the development of Energy Management Systems (EnMS) of a Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP). In the present study the CCPP was analyzed for a period of six months for the development of an EnMS. Results showed that there were saving of 8.13 × 10^6 BTUs of energy which means a saving of about USD.4500 per day, which will keep on increasing as a result of the implementation of the developed EnMS. The results obtained from the current research could be utilized as a guide for the further application in industrial energy management system.
