Energy management systems: The key to an energy-efficient future
28 March 2024 - Reading time: 5 minutes
In today’s world, where energy costs are constantly rising and environmental protection is playing an increasingly important role, energy management systems (EMS) have become an integral part of everyday life. They are used to efficiently control and optimise the energy consumption of buildings, industrial plants or entire communities. In this article you will learn everything you need to know about energy management systems and how VODASUN® can help you to increase your energy efficiency and thus save costs.

What are energy management systems?
Energy management systems are technological solutions that aim to monitor, analyse and optimise energy consumption. They identify potential energy savings and help to utilise energy more effectively. This not only leads to a reduction in energy costs, but also contributes to environmental protection by reducing the CO2 footprint.
How an energy management system works: An EMS collects data on the energy consumption of various consumers within a building or system. These include lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and production systems. This data is analysed to identify patterns in energy consumption, evaluate efficiency and recommend energy-saving measures. Significant savings can be achieved by continuously monitoring and adjusting energy flows.
Advantages of energy management systems
The introduction of an energy management system offers a number of advantages:
- Cost savings:By optimising energy consumption, companies and private households can significantly reduce their energy costs.
- Environmental protection:Improved energy efficiency leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions and thus protects the environment.
- Transparency:EMSs provide detailed insights into energy consumption and enable targeted measures to be taken to improve energy efficiency.
- Promoting sustainability:By using EMS, organisations actively contribute to achieving global climate targets.
- Compliance: Many EMSs help to fulfil legal requirements and standards such as ISO 50001.

Energy management systems and photovoltaic systems - an ideal combination
Energy management systems really come into their own in conjunction with photovoltaic systems. They make it possible to make optimum use of self-generated solar energy, maximise self-consumption and minimise the purchase of expensive grid electricity. VODASUN® offers customised solutions that are tailored to the individual needs and circumstances of the customer.
Intelligent control of the energy flow:
With an EMS, you can ensure that your solar system is working efficiently. Surplus energy can be used, for example, to charge a battery storage unit or to heat water. By intelligently controlling the energy flows, you increase your degree of self-sufficiency and reduce your dependence on external energy suppliers.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions
What is an energy management system (EMS)?
An energy management system is a technological solution that aims to monitor, analyse and optimise energy consumption. It helps to identify potential energy savings and utilise energy more effectively, leading to cost savings and a reduction in the carbon footprint.
How does an energy management system work?
An EMS collects data on the energy consumption of various consumers within a building or plant, such as lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and production facilities. This data is analysed to identify patterns in energy consumption, evaluate efficiency and recommend energy-saving measures.
What advantages does an energy management system offer?
The introduction of an EMS offers several benefits, including cost savings by optimising energy consumption, environmental protection by reducing CO2 emissions, transparency in energy consumption and the promotion of sustainability. EMS also help to fulfil legal requirements and standards.
Why are energy management systems and photovoltaic systems an ideal combination?
EMS and photovoltaic systems complement each other perfectly, as they make it possible to make optimum use of self-generated solar energy, maximise self-consumption and minimise the purchase of expensive grid electricity. The intelligent control of energy flows increases the degree of self-sufficiency and reduces dependence on external energy suppliers.
