Energy monitoring

About Energy monitoring

The ENNEREG Sustainable Energy Themes pages are currently in the process of being developed. Further information about Energy monitoring will be available soon.

Technological & Instrumental Solutions

Monitoring as part of a continuous improvement process

As part of a project lifecycle, various steps can be identified as part of a continuous improvement process.

Define: The objective is to identify key indicators appropriate to the context of the project.
Measure:
Collect data of actual situation.
Analyze:
Analyze the collected data in comparison with the initial objectives.
Improve: Define and implement corrective actions.
Control:
assess the impact of the implemented actions with regards to the initial goals.
Re-define
….

Monitoring is involved in two steps of this cycle: Measure and Control.

Monitoring in the ENNEREG Project

Monitoring, as considered in this cooperation topic, is not limited to the Performance Indicators (related with the SEP measures), but more generally apply to the indicators which can be used for the definition of SEAPs. This cooperation topic will consider not only the methodologies but also the tools or organizations dedicated to monitoring issues in the regions.

A workshop was organized as part of the kick-off meeting. Partners discussed their existing situation in terms of monitoring. Key issued was identified on the topic, as follows. Partners have identified two main objectives for monitoring:

1) Observatories activities at regional level : energy balances, RES identification, etc..

Several ENNEREG regions have already implemented such approaches. Some regions, such as the Basque Country, elaborate energy balances on a regular basis (see appendix). Some other regions are tracking the RES installations, such as Rhone-Alpes and Upper Palatinate, in order to assess the part of renewable energy sources in the energy production mix.

2) Detailed analysis of specific energy consumption (high schools in RA, public buildings…)

Monitoring is also used for more specific applications, such as energy monitoring in public buildings, such as Silistra and Rhône-Alpes.

3) Bottom-up or top-down approach and link with national data

Two main approaches have been identified for the elaboration of energy balances or GHG accounting.

The first approach is based on local detailed data for various sectors of energy consumption and GHG emissions. Statistical data such as number of households, detailed traffic information, number and kinds of industries are multiplied by energy consumption or emission factors in order to assess energy consumption or GHG emissions by sectors and energy used at territory level. The bottom-up approach can be applied at various territory levels, i.e. municipality, districts, regions, etc. The key issue is the availability of the raw data and the accuracy of the energy consumption or GHG emission factors.

The second approach is to use available data at national or regional level and to derive from those energy consumption or GHG emissions at a more local level. This approach is often easier to implement and can thus give rapidly a rough overview of the energy and climate situation of the considered territory. The disadvantage is the reliability of the results. For example, deriving energy consumption of industries can be not relevant in case where large and small industries coexist.

4) Adequation between objectives, focus areas and level of responsibilities and actions

In any case, partners have highlighted the importance of correctly dimensioning the monitoring tools and methodologies by considering the following items:

Core issues of monitoring tasks are data availability and reliability. Data availability can be limited due to property rights and confidentiality. Another issue is to ensure the reliability of used data. Some partners are trying to collect real data (e.g. on energy consumption) to improve initial energy balances based more on statistical data.

  • Objective of the monitoring task should be aligned with local strategies, such as improve part of RES in energy consumption mix, reduce energy consumption, etc.
  • Focus areas: GHG emissions can include emissions due to energy consumption, but also other ones, such as those due to animals.
  • Accounting methods: several methodologies can be applied in order to assess GHG emissions: in case of electricity production, GHG emissions can be allocated to the production plant or the consumption locations.
  • Level of responsibilities at territorial level: monitoring should be a tool for action.

Technical and organizational tools

ENNEREG partners have listed following tools used for monitoring purposes:

  • Observatories: Some regions have set up observatories for energy and GHG emissions. Such observatories are often networks of various stakeholders (regional council, national organizations, associations, energy utilities, ….). These stakeholders share data on energy in order to elaborate a common vision. This common vision is then used to establish local policies.
  • Smart metering: Smart metering is being deployed thanks to national and European regulations. It is considered as a key element to provide the necessary information to energy utilities and final consumers.
  • Advisory and tracking tools: in some cases, web-based tracking tools are being deployed in order to facilitate the implementation of corrective actions in the case of energy audits and in a view to support energy efficiency programs.
  •  Proposed cooperation topics

Tools & Methodologies

ISO 50001 Energy Management System (EMS)

[EN] Using energy efficiently helps organizations save money as well as helping to conserve resources and tackle climate change. ISO 50001 supports organizations in all sectors to use energy more efficiently, through the development of an energy management system (EnMS).

Integrating the ISO 50001 Energy Management System (EMS) as a certification linked with the SEAP approach, is one of the tasks explored in the Energy for Mayors project. The Municipality of Moneglia in Italy is the first of 8 pilot European municipalities supported by the Energy for Mayors project that are proceeding with the same certification together with the SEAP.

ECORegion - efficient energy and greenhouse gas balancing for towns and cities

[EN] Towns and cities assume a central role in climate protection. In order to be able to authenticate and verify success in energy and climate policy, regular balancing of the emissions is essential. However, the requirements to be met for this are demanding, as expert knowledge is required, framework data and balancing standards have to be taken into account, and data are often incomplete. To provide optimal support for these needs, ECOSPEED has developed ECORegion for towns and cities.

ENNEREG Good Practice Examples

Begiralea: Energy consumption monitoring project, Basque Country, Spain - ENNEREG Good Practice in Monitoring

[EN] The Begiralea project aims to raise awareness about the importance of saving energy and also aims to involve directly workers of municipal buildings to reduce energy consumption. For this purpose, municipal workers will have information available about the real consumption of the building with tools for its analysis and advices that will help them achieve important levels of energy saving.
All this is possible thanks to the building monitoring system for the energy consumption that the Association of Basque Municipalities-EUDEL has developed with the advice of the Basque Energy Agency-EVE making possible to know how much and how is consumed energy in each building.
Thus, good practices and new habits developed by workers will have their reflection in the energy consumption and it may be checked in the comparatives with previous months.
