SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS

The role of digitization processes: four strategic scenarios

 

As energy efficiency schemes come to a deeper stage of deployment the need to go further and obtaining more precise information generation and management arises.

Either in the form of functional, matrix structures, or project-based organizational scenarios, the need to remodel the current organizational and hopefully operational structures to seek for a systems and systemic profile comes to the forefront.

 

For that purpose we do suggest to explore at three different levels the potential transitions:

 

 

1. DIGITIZATION STRATEGIES:

 

I.- Extension of current information infrastructure:

 

1. a) Field distributed information
2. b) Operations information
3. c) Service information
4. d) Internet data and connected devices

 

II.- Intensive digitization: large and extensive deployment

 

III.- Selective digitization: seeking specific emerging systems

 

IV.- Systems creation from informational modelling: growing  from things

 

2. ORGANISATIONAL SET UP OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
