ISO 50001 energy management

When creating an energy management strategy for microgrids, it’s necessary to consider ISO 50001 – the international standard for Energy Management Systems (EMS). Its main objective is to enable organisations to follow a systematic approach in achieving continual improvement of energy performance.

Based on the iterative PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) management approach, ISO 50001 provides a framework that helps project planners:

-Develop a strategy for efficient use of energy.

-Fixtargets and objectives to meet the strategy.

-Use data to make informed decisions.

-Measure the results.

-Review the effectiveness of the strategy.

-Continually improve energy management.
