Electricity Metering and Monitoring in Manufacturing Systems

Glocalized Solutions for Sustainability in Manufacturing

Abstract

Traditionally, electricity costs in manufacturing have been considered as an overhead cost. In the last decade, the manufacturing industry has witnessed a dramatic increase in electricity costs, which can no longer be treated as an overhead, but a valuable resource to be managed strategically. However, this can only be achieved by strategically gathering electricity consumption data by metering and monitoring. This keynote paper presents the latest developments and challenges in electricity metering and monitoring systems and standards in the context of manufacturing systems. An industry case is presented to emphasise the challenges and the possible solutions to address them.
