What Is Power Monitoring?
Power monitoring is the process of measuring and checking the amount of electricity.
Traditionally, the purpose of power monitoring was to reduce the cost of electricity. However, today, as environmental protection such as CO2 reduction has become a global issue, reducing power consumption, which contributes greatly to CO2 reduction, is part of environmental protection activities, and businesses that use energy above a certain size are obliged to implement energy management under the Energy Conservation Law.
Electricity is the most consumed energy in business activities. Therefore, power monitoring is particularly important in energy management.
Uses of Power Monitoring
Companies and organizations with a certain business scale will always implement energy management. And to manage energy, power monitoring systems are essential equipment.
Power monitoring systems has variety of functions, such as analyzing power consumption by department, real-time measurement, and visualization of usage conditions. In addition, they measure the amount of power consumed by the entire business. Efficient energy conservation can be achieved by subdividing and analyzing the energy consumption status, and energy management that takes into account the balance between power supply and demand, such as peak measures, can be achieved by measuring power in real time.
Power monitoring is always conducted in factories, buildings, and other places where electric energy is used to conduct business.
Principle of Power Monitoring
To implement power monitoring, a power monitoring system must be installed.
The power monitoring systems are constructed by combining various equipment such as power measurement hardware, software, graphing tools, and communication facilities for remote management, depending on the scale of the business and its management methods.
However, power monitoring is not achieved simply by installing a power monitoring system. If you are satisfied with just measuring the amount of electricity and leave the measurement data alone, it is not power monitoring.
Power monitoring must be conducted on a daily basis in the following flow.
- Grasping the actual status of electricity usage: It is appropriate to start out based on the amount of electricity sold by the power company.
- Formulate an electricity management manual and set targets: Establish rules for the installation of electricity measurement equipment, rules for measuring and recording the amount of electricity, and rules for maintenance and inspection of measurement equipment. In addition, target values for the amount of electricity to be saved and plans to be implemented to achieve them are also set.
- Implementation of electricity volume management: Measurements and other activities are conducted in accordance with the management manual and plan.
- Grasping daily power consumption: Power consumption can be grasped from various angles, such as by business location, season, and time. Efficient analysis is required according to the nature of the business.
- Consideration and implementation of improvement plans to reduce electricity usage: Once improvement plans are determined, return to the process of (3) implementation of electricity volume management based on these plans.
In this way, power monitoring is implemented through the PDCA (plan, do, check, action) cycle of power management.
