Energy management and efforts to prevent energy waste have become a significant topic for many companies. Is your motivation a commitment to resource protection? Do you want to find out where your company can save energy? Do you want to save money? Is the market pressuring you? Whatever your reasons, the ISO 50001 energy management system may be the solution for you.

How to implement ISO 50001 into an existing integrated management system

At Enectiva, we continually innovate to enhance user experience and efficiency. We developed the possibility for users to personalize their entity types, ensuring that the platform is not only powerful but also intuitively aligned with their specific needs.

Entity types in Enectiva refer to the various classifications or categories that users can assign to different assets, locations, or data points within their energy management ecosystem. These might include buildings, portfolio, complex, or even specific utility meters. Traditionally, these categories are predefined by the system, which can sometimes lead to a mismatch with the unique organizational structures and terminologies of different users’ sites.

Why is IoT essential for energy management?

Energy management has become crucial in worldwide regulations to answer urgent environmental issues. As energy management evolves at a rapid pace, innovation is the stream that keeps businesses moving forward. To answer those challenges, few technologies hold as much potential as IoT: Internet of Things

What is IoT ? 

IoT is a network of interconnected devices, and systems that share data in real-time. From thermostats and lighting systems to industrial machinery and renewable energy sources, IoT allows organizations to optimize their energy usage with precision.

Hydrogen has become a main subject in energetic transition because of its potential as a clean and multifaceted energetic vector. One of his key methods for hydrogen production is water electrolysis, that consists in separating water molecules in hydrogen and oxygen thanks to an electric current. Three types of main electrolyzers are standing out in the market today: the Proton Exchange Membrane electrolysis (PEM), the alkaline electrolysis and the Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell (SOEC). This article compares those three technologies in terms of efficiency and energetic yield.

While there is various methods to measure the consumption of hydrogen (read our article: Hydrogen Measurements Techniques for more information), there is also numerous challenges and potential troubles linked to these methods that can be encountered and must be taken in account :

Hydrogen Gas Leakage and Contamination

Hydrogen is a highly permeable gas, and even small leaks in the system can significantly affect consumption measurements. It’s crucial to ensure the integrity of the system and properly seal any potential leakage points to avoid inaccuracies in consumption measurements. That’s why it is important to re-examine valves and piping materials. Plus is, as natural gases, hydrogen is odorless. To detect leakage points, a distinct odor is usually added to natural gases. The difference with hydrogen is that the addition of an odorant must be studied to be sure it doesn’t affect the composition nor properties.
