Abstract

The paper analyzes the historical aspects of the development of international energy management, examines its individual stages. The focus is on the fact that in 2011 the new ISO standard for energy management systems - ISO 50001 was developed. It is noted that the purpose of this standard is to help organizations to establish systems and processes to increase energy efficiency, improve the use and reduce the number consumed energy. The emphasis is on the fact that the standard is based on applying a methodology known as the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) plan-do-test-check-act. It is emphasized that the ISO 50001 standard is a tool for continuous improvement of energy management. It is noted that this document contains general requirements for the energy management system, determines the responsibility of management in this process, and describes the energy saving policy. The emphasis is placed on the fact that for today in Ukraine the necessary theoretical and methodological base in the field of building the energy management system has already been laid down in the national standards of DSTU 4472, DSTU 4715 and DSTU 5077. It is emphasized that these standards are developed on the basis of the management principles laid down in the set of international standards of the DSTU ISO 9000, DSTU ISO 14000, as well as the principles of automation of process control laid down in the standards of the Automated Control Systems series. It is emphasized that a certified energy management system can be integrated with other management systems of the enterprise. The scheme of introduction of energy management system at the enterprise is offered. It is noted that due to the standard, transparency in the management of energy resources is achieved; priority is being given to the introduction of new energy-saving technologies. The conclusions emphasize that the economy of developed countries has long and effectively used the developed international standards for energy management, while in the Ukrainian industry the introduction of these standards is still at an early stage. In those enterprises where this process is implemented, there is a reduction in energy consumption to 5-10% in the first year of such management.
