Energy management for user’s thermal and power needs: A survey

Considering the importance of ISO 50001 in sustainable development, the objective of this research is to identify the challenges found by organizations during the implementation of ISO 50001:2011, according to the literature. To address this objective, a systematic search was conducted. Scientific papers from the following international databases were used: Science Direct, Emerald Insight, Scopus, Springer, Wiley, and Taylor and Francis. Permutations of the terms “ISO 50001” and “Challenges”, “Barriers”, “Lacks”, “Gaps”, “Obstacles”, “Problems”, and “Limitations” were searched. Following this strategy, 206 documents were found. After removing book chapters, articles from proceedings, duplicate articles, and articles that did not mention any challenge related to ISO 50001, 17 articles were left. Eleven challenges were found in these articles. The most cited challenges were: “Lack of Resources-Limitations (HR, Technologies, Infrastructure, Financial, Time)”, “Difficulty to determine the energy baseline and energy performance indicators”, “Human Resources deficiencies (competences, knowledges, and abilities)”, and “Lack of management support and/or commitment”. The challenges most cited shows the need for better planning before implementation as well as a comprehensive analysis of the organization’s requirements and features. The findings of this research show that this theme is still underexplored. The results presented can contribute to future industrial policies to potentialize countries’ economies.

“…There is a clear relationship between energy use and climate change, being that the energy sector is responsible for almost 60% of the greenhouse gas emissions generated by society [20]. In addition to climate change, fossil fuels are a finite resource, imposing an inevitable end to their availability [10].…”

“…From the existing literature point of view, user discomfort results from the pause produced by the scheduling of equipment and thermal comfort. Several research works viewed comfort as “a combined effect of electricity cost and user dissatisfaction related to the thermal and controllable appliances” [199] . The COVID-19 pandemic has made it more difficult for DRPs and optimization techniques to minimize consumer discomfort due to dynamically varying user preferences.…”

“…In this respect, a similarity with the microgrid could be found in the operation of a supervisory control preserving safety, reliability, and survivability of the microgrid, which are associated to a microgrid design contemplating redundancy and backup solutions to guarantee resiliency of the system under any operating condition, including adverse extreme events. It is worth noting that both centralized and distributed architectures for energy management have been successfully used in microgrids and can be considered as candidate case studies [ 104 ]. Further elucidation of the mechanisms regulated by TOR and SnRK1 is required for the establishment of strategies to generate plant-inspired smart microgrid models or management strategies.…”

In this paper, the main features of systems that are required to flexibly modulate energy states of plant cells in response to environmental fluctuations are surveyed and summarized. Plant cells possess multiple sources (chloroplasts and mitochondria) to produce energy that is consumed to drive many processes, as well as mechanisms that adequately provide energy to the processes with high priority depending on the conditions. Such energy-providing systems are tightly linked to sensors that monitor the status of the environment and inside the cell. In addition, plants possess the ability to efficiently store and transport energy both at the cell level and at a higher level. Furthermore, these systems can finely tune the various mechanisms of energy homeostasis in plant cells in response to the changes in environment, also assuring the plant survival under adverse environmental conditions. Electrical power systems are prone to the effects of environmental changes as well; furthermore, they are required to be increasingly resilient to the threats of extreme natural events caused, for example, by climate changes, outages, and/or external deliberate attacks. Starting from this consideration, similarities between energy-related processes in plant cells and electrical power grids are identified, and the potential of mechanisms regulating energy homeostasis in plant cells to inspire the definition of new models of flexible and resilient electrical power grids, particularly microgrids, is delineated. The main contribution of this review is surveying energy regulatory mechanisms in detail as a reference and helping readers to find useful information for their work in this research field.
