This report by ABB was published in March 2020. It outlines the need to measure and monitor electrical systems to obtain real-time data which, when coupled with robust energy modelling reveals patterns and opportunities to better manage energy waste. The authors discuss energy bill verification; multi-utility validation; load profiling; multi-site comparison; and optimized equipment performance. Implications for the integration of SaaS, AI and machine learning are discussed.
