1 What is an EMS?

An EMS is a software-based system that monitors, controls, and optimizes the performance of your energy system. It can collect data from various sensors, meters, and devices, and use it to adjust the settings, schedules, and operations of your energy sources, loads, and storage. An EMS can also provide you with reports, alerts, and recommendations to help you improve your energy efficiency, reduce your costs, and increase your resilience.

The EMS serves as an interface facilitating communication between DSR and DER facilities within VPP services and utility companies.

2 Why do you need an EMS?

An EMS can help you manage the complexity and variability of your energy system, especially if you use renewable energy sources like solar, wind, or biomass. Renewable energy sources can be affected by weather, time, and location, and may not match your demand patterns. An EMS can help you balance your supply and demand, and optimize your use of grid power, backup generators, or energy storage. An EMS can also help you reduce your carbon footprint, comply with regulations, and participate in demand response or grid services programs.

3 What are the types of EMS?

Different types of EMS exist depending on the scale, scope, and functionality of your energy system. For example, Building EMS (BEMS) is designed for a single building or a group of buildings, and can monitor and control the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, and other systems within the building. Home EMS (HEMS) is designed for residential homes or apartments and can monitor and control the appliances, devices, and smart thermostats in your home. Microgrid EMS (MEMS) is designed for a small-scale network of energy sources, loads, and storage that can operate independently or connected to the grid. And Distributed EMS (DEMS) is designed for a large-scale network of distributed energy resources (DERs) that are connected to the grid. These different types of EMS can help you improve indoor comfort, air quality, safety, automate your home, reduce electricity bills, support the grid, enhance reliability and security, increase flexibility and participation, and optimize grid operation.

EMS names are categorized based on their applications, considering the scale of supply and the specific demand targeted. This classification includes Committee EMS (CEMS) that is developed for energy management in wide residential areas and and Factory EMS (FEMS), which aids in the optimal operation of energy within a factory.

4 How to choose the best EMS for your project?

When selecting the best EMS for your project, you should consider a variety of factors, such as the size and complexity of your energy system, the functionality and features of the EMS, the cost and benefit of the EMS, and its reliability and compatibility. For example, you should think about how many and what types of energy sources, loads, and storage you have. Additionally, you should consider how user-friendly, scalable, and customizable the EMS is. Moreover, you should consider how much it costs to purchase, install, operate, and maintain the EMS. Finally, it's important to assess how reliable and secure the EMS is in terms of data collection, communication, and control.

Maintaining and supporting the EMS is a complex task, raising the crucial question of whether to depend on a vendor with a proven track record or to opt for a multiple-supply-chain approach.

5 How to implement and evaluate the EMS?

Once you have chosen the best EMS for your project, you need to properly implement and evaluate it. To start, you should plan and design the EMS by defining its scope, objectives, and specifications. You should also identify the roles, responsibilities, and resources involved, as well as select the hardware, software, and communication systems. Additionally, a detailed schedule, budget, and risk management plan should be developed. Next, you should install and commission the EMS components and systems. You should test and calibrate them, configure and program the settings and parameters, and verify and validate their functionality and performance. After that, you should operate and maintain the EMS by operating it according to the schedule and mode. You should also monitor and analyze its data and outputs, adjust and optimize its settings and operations, maintain its components and systems, update its software and hardware, etc. Finally, you should evaluate the EMS results and impacts by comparing its performance with the baseline and targets. You can then identify gaps or issues that need to be addressed with corrective or preventive actions. It's important to review and improve the EMS plan as well.
