10 Facts about Energy Management
About 11% of all EU energy consumption can be economised cost-effectively through the adoption of more effective energy management. Energy management is a structured process through which organisations seek to optimise their energy use, by reducing energy waste, increasing energy-efficiency and increasing the share of renewable energy. Energy management standards, such as EN ISO 50001, offer a comprehensive approach to address the various behavioural, technological and regulatory requirements....

This paper describes the 4 step approach of KSB to optimize the energy efficiency of a hydraulic system. While focussing on the entire life-cycle, the aim is to lower operating costs. The approach starts with a system analysis to detect optimization potential and ends with usage of smart pump technology and services during operation - see also paper on industry 4.0 and smart pump technology. It contains links to details of each step of the process....

At the Event Horizon 2018 a clear message was sent out for energy sector and blockchain: "Flip the switch" as it seems to be the right time to move forward from concepts to application and demonstration. The main areas of the globe where blockchain initiatives are, funding and venture capital investments, energy regulators, throughput, scalability and more insights help us understand the progress and alignments of blockchain in the energy sector.
