Abstract: Energy Management Systems (EnMS) becomes nowadays important for organizations where energy is a significant cost. In addition to the introduction of legislation by the International Standards Organization, companies with implemented EnMS benefits from cost savings and make a significant contribution to environmental and climate protection, for example by the permanent reduction of CO2 emissions. One of the largest electrical energy consumers is oil refinery, with average daily power demand of 25MW. With the aim to obtain reliable and accurate electrical power consumption measuring system, with the possibility of obtaining different balance consumption by manufacturing processes and products, proposed design of the new metering and information system is presented in the lecture. Metering and information system design is based on the various requirements for different electrical energy consumption reports that came from refinery departments (production, manipulation, electrical department, maintenance, investments, etc.). Furthermore, electrical department operates as a subsidiary company and need sub-billing system for other departments. Finally, production of fuel and its manipulation and transport needs several separate electrical energy consumption balances based on different products, cost allocation and energy targets. Proposed monitoring system uses state-of-art power meters that communicate over high-speed Ethernet network. In that case such a complex plant like oil refinery could be analyzed and managed easily from SCADA software. In the lecture a complete monitoring system will be explained in detail, including algorithm for consumption calculation for different departments and units. The plan is that the system for monitoring electricity consumption serves as the basis for the introduction of a complete energy management system (EnMS).

Brief Biography of the Speaker:Aleksandar Nikolic received the B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering in 1991, 1999 and 2009, respectively, from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Serbia.
