Present energy flows clearly, concisely, and transparently

Energy management

Optimization of your Energy Consumption according to ISO 50001

The efficient use of energy is becoming increasingly important for companies—not only for climate protection reasons, but also to ensure competitiveness. A modern energy management system (EMS) helps to fully exploit the potential for energy savings. Implementing such a system is also an essential step toward digitalization. Industrial companies that require large amounts of energy are particularly affected by this development. Since November 2023, the German Energy Efficiency Act has required companies with an annual energy consumption of more than 7.5 gigawatt hours to take measures to reduce and use energy efficiently and to introduce an energy management system.

KRIS Energy management supports you in meeting these requirements. With our solution, you can monitor your energy flows in real time, display them clearly, and analyze them transparently—the ideal basis for sustainable and efficient energy management.

Continuous monitoring of energy flows

Identify potential savings

Batch-related evaluation of energy flows

ISO 50001 certified, can also be used as a stand-alone solution

Collection, analysis, and management of energy consumption data

Range of Functions

KRIS Energy management offers comprehensive functions for the efficient recording, analysis, and management of energy consumption data. It enables meter readings to be determined both in real time and via batch processes, ensuring flexible and reliable data collection.

The system is an ideal tool for determining key business figures in production. Its online capability allows accurate trends to be analyzed between different time periods, so that important parameters can be directly incorporated into management.

KRIS also offers product-related evaluation, which enables quick and easy analysis of energy consumption for individual products or product batches. This helps companies identify optimization potential and take targeted measures to save energy.

The energy data is available to the entire KRIS environment, so that in addition to the wide range of graphical analyses within the EMS app, all other functions of the KRIS platform, such as logs, trend analysis, and data export, can also be used.

For visualization purposes, KRIS provides a trend display of energy consumption, which allows detailed analyses thanks to a zoom function. The collected data can be easily exported to Microsoft Excel, which facilitates further processing and integration into existing systems. Daily, weekly, monthly, and annual reports ensure a structured and clear presentation of energy consumption data.

An additional advantage is the option of transferring data from energy suppliers via the MSCONS format, which enables seamless integration of external data sources.

Display of Energy Consumption

Our energy management system aims to provide answers to the most important questions faced by energy managers. It is fact-based and uses graphically prepared measurement data. This data can then be used to identify potential savings and derive measures.

Time- and batch-based evaluations

Energy management Functions

Here we present a range of new functions in KRIS 4 Energy management. You can select them from the menu above.

All evaluations are time- and batch-based.

Harmonization

This module is used for cross-media harmonization of energy consumption.

The aim of harmonization is to convert media and bring them to a common denominator without having to perform special calculations on the server side.

How can different media be compared?

For example, assigning energy values to volumetric measurements (gas measurement in m³ and other performance measurements)

How can CO₂ emissions be compared?

Assigning CO₂ values per medium

How can the environmental balance of energy sources be taken into account?

Assigning primary and energy factors per medium

Source units/factors/divisors and common target units are created in the harmonization tables (harmonization table). The selected data is then automatically converted using the “Harmonization” option.

Advantages

Quick and easy at the touch of a button
Simple table maintenance, no programming knowledge required
Pure front-end conversion, no data manipulation

[Translate to English:] Energiemanagement Harmonisierung

weather adjustment

Weather adjustment is used to compare energy consumption across two horizons: time and location.

Time horizon:

How can energy data be compared across different years?

Make continuous improvement visible
E.g., outside temperature

Location horizon:

How can energy data be compared across different locations?

Correct comparison within corporate structures

Which methods do I use for adjustment?

Freely definable reference data series (via import/export)

Current data is displayed in the master data and reference data can be imported. The tables are then merged, resulting in factors that are used to adjust the energy data. When weather adjustment is activated, the data is immediately converted live in the front end. No complicated parameterization in the back end is necessary.

Reference / Specific consumption

This function is used to reference energy data to specific variables or to compare energies.

Examples:

How high is our area-based energy consumption?

Referencing to the energy reference area of buildings

How high is our energy consumption per capita?

Referencing to the number of people present

How high is our energy consumption per output quantity?

Referencing to production units (e.g., how much energy is contained in my m² of paper? How much energy is contained in a bottle of beer?)

Favorites view

This function allows users to save views previously configured in the interface and use them to create their own image structure with saved evaluations.

Create visualization structure

How do I save my previously created evaluations?
How do I make the evaluations available to other interested parties?
How do I create a user-specific image structure?

In 3 steps:

Configure an evaluation
Save the view as a favorite
Change, duplicate, group, share

Favorites are saved on the server for each user.

BAFA funding

The Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) subsidizes 25% of the investment (35% for SMEs).

Module 3 – Measurement, control, and regulation technology, sensor technology, and energy management software

Module 3 provides funding for software and hardware related to the installation or application of an energy or environmental management system.

Software solutions to support an energy management system or environmental management system (energy management software).
Sensors for measuring energy or material flows and other variables relevant to energy or material consumption for integration into the energy or environmental management system.
Control and regulation technology for influencing systems and processes, provided that the primary purpose of their use is to reduce energy or material consumption.
Additional costs such as installation, commissioning, cabling of the above-mentioned technologies, and the creation of a system concept by third parties.
