| | JULY 2016610 Most PromisingEnergy ManagementE ERGYTech ReviewToday, in order to optimize energy generation-consumption life cycle, it is indispensible that electricity needs to be consistently balanced in time and quantity. Coupled with this, the volatile energy prices, limited availability of fossils and stringent regulatory requirements are fuelling the growth of Energy Management System (EMS). EMS empowers the energy users, be it residential buildings, manufacturing units, or commercial establishments, to collect real-time energy usage data, consumption patterns, and as well historical data to make informed decisions, enhance enterprise-level operations and save cost. EMS is also proving to be a day saver for organizations that want to leverage renewable energy such as wind and solar power along with the utility power supply. It can help remove the power grid imbalances, offering greater flexibility to consumers to opt for utility or renewable power in an optimal manner. EMS also integrates with Smart Grid technologies, enabling organizations to respond to the signals from electricity providers to minimize energy usage when the power grid is under stress due to high demand. In its industrial implementations, EMS is enabling the energy managers to visualize the energy consumption across various processes that help reduce cost, avoid wastage, predict energy requirements, and develop better demand-response strategies. When it comes to residential buildings, EMS can help automate energy management program, enabling consumers track their consumption pattern and historical data to save energy costs and predict future requirements. Although EMS proffers the ability to control, monitor, and conserve energy, most of the potential EMS users often lean towards traditional technology and applications due to financial barriers, and limited expertise. With this special edition, our goal is to help companies discover best-of-breed EMS solutions providers that ease out EMS transition for organizations. This edition blends thought-leadership from subject matter experts with real stories on what selected vendors are doing for their clients, including exclusive insights from CIOs and CXOs.
