Automation project framework for energy management ISO50001 compatible

This paper describes the implementation of a supervisory framework for monitoring and verification of energy resources compatible with a standardized energy management system, including energy use and consumption requirements, as well as documentation, communication, best practices of project, equipment procurement, systems, processes and human resources involved in energy performance. The strategy of energy use analysis proposed in this work is based on the methodology of monitoring and targeting that consists of a systematic approach in the use of energy resources in order to achieve the best economic result through the permanent management of energy consumption. In addition, it was proposed the inclusion of this methodology as a procedure in the planning phase of ISO50001 standard, which establishes the concepts for implementation of energy management systems. In order to integrate the tools associated with this scenario, this platform includes the use of a supervisory system associated with an software (Soft-PLC) that executes the control application of energy use in an industrial environment with distributed automation compatible with IEC61131 standard. The results arising from the adoption of an automation based platform to energy management include high flexibility, adaptability and usability of the system. Furthermore, an automation project in this scenario of open platform tends to introduce lower development and deployment costs.
