“…This summarizes several definitions of EnM in the literature, some of which were presented by Schulze et al [21]. Generally, EnM can be done via (i) management, (ii) technology, and (iii) policies/regulations ( [18,22]). Note that the term "energy management" is often used instead of or interchangeably with "energy management system", which refers to the tools for implementing the procedures of EnM [16].…”

Drivers, Barriers, and Success Factors for Improving Energy Management in the Pulp and Paper Industry

Successful energy management is a way to achieve energy efficiency in the pulp and paper industry (PPI), which is important for assuring energy supply security, for increasing economic competitiveness, and for mitigating greenhouse gases. However, research shows that although energy use within PPI can be reduced by 5.5-19.4% per year, some of this by energy management practices, energy management is not always implemented. Why is this so? What are the barriers to, and drivers of implementation? How can the barriers be overcome? A systematic review of barriers and drivers in energy management in the PPI within peer-reviewed scientific articles suggests that the world-wide events that affect energy supply, volatility, and use seemingly also affect the number and frequency of research articles on energy management in the PPI. The perception of energy management in the PPI seems to be dominated by the understanding that it can mostly be achieved through technological improvements aiming to improve energy efficiency. The main driver of energy management was shown to be economic conditions: high and unstable energy prices, followed by drivers such as the need to remain internationally competitive, collaboration and energy management systems. Meanwhile, examples of the most important barriers are technical risks, lack of access to capital, lack of time and other priorities, and slim organization. The success factors for enhancing drivers and overcoming barriers were continuous energy accounting, energy-related collaboration, energy-efficiency programmes, and benchmarking. Altogether, success factors for energy management for improved energy efficiency could be summarized in the 4M framework-the "4M for energy efficiency": mind, measure, monitor, and manage-that could be used as the energy management memory-tool that could lead to improved energy efficiency in other sectors as well.

ResumoA comunidade científica internacional tem considerado o uso eficiente de energia em sistemas de produção extremamente importante para o desenvolvimento sustentável. Este artigo estuda a melhoria da eficiência energética em sistemas motrizes industriais por meio de mudança tecnológica. Inicialmente é feita uma revisão de literatura para apresentar as principais ações e barreiras para a melhoria da eficiência energética em sistemas industriais de energia e também destacar o uso de uma abordagem multicritério em caso de mudança tecnológica. O artigo apresenta um estudo de caso em uma indústria com o objetivo de ordenar motores elétricos para serem substituídos utilizando o método multicritério PROMETHEE II. O estudo revela que a escolha dos critérios pode alterar a ordem de prioridade de escolha das tecnologias a serem substituídas, com impacto no desempenho das novas tecnologias. O artigo enfatiza a importância da integração de todas as áreas da empresa para que sejam atendidos os interesses da organização. Palavras-chaveEficiência energética. Sustentabilidade. Sistemas motrizes industriais.

A behavioral change-based approach to energy efficiency in a manufacturing plant

et al. 2017

In the realm of industrial energy efficiency studies, very little research has been done to understand the barriers and opportunities to influence behavior of production workers and the corresponding energysaving potentials. This paper analyzes a case study of Volvo Construction Equipment AB in Braås, Sweden (VCE Braås), that has reduced its relative idle electricity use by more than 10 percentage points during 2013-2016 by implementing a strategy of changing everyday behavior of production workers. The results based on interviews with actors involved in the energy efficiency project showed that a concrete goal, the employment of a fulltime operational leader who earlier worked as a production worker at VCE Braås, and the involvement of both the leadership and employees in project management were key to the success of the project.
