Overview

EN IEC 63376:2023 - Industrial facility energy management system (FEMS) - Functions and information flows - defines the functions and information exchanges required to upgrade traditional energy monitoring into an automated Facility Energy Management System (FEMS). The standard describes a generic function classification, interfaces and information flows between FEMS and other enterprise systems (MOM, MES, ERP), and guidance on demand response, data confidentiality and integration in industrial environments.

Key topics and requirements

• FEMS functions and categories: Monitoring, Analysis, Optimization and Instruction functions are specified to support continuous improvement of energy performance.
• Information flows: Defines how FEMS collects actual and reference energy data, manufacturing planning information, facility status, and how it exchanges results and operation strategies with other systems.
• System boundaries and hierarchy: Describes hierarchical relationships between FEMS, production systems and enterprise layers to enable coordinated control and decision-making.
• Integration with enterprise IT/OT: Outlines interfaces to Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for data exchange and operational coordination.
• Demand response and grid interaction: Covers FEMS roles in price-based and incentive-based demand response and coordination with smart grid services.
• Security and confidentiality: Addresses information security considerations (references IEC 62443) and data confidentiality inside and outside the facility.
• Function classification & use cases: Includes a method to classify FEMS functions and illustrative use cases (unit-level optimization, facility optimization, energy supply optimization, overall plant strategies).

Practical applications and who uses this standard

EN IEC 63376:2023 is applicable to organizations implementing industrial energy management and automation:

• Energy managers and plant managers seeking to automate energy optimization and reporting.
• Automation and controls engineers designing FEMS solutions and controllers.
• System integrators and software vendors building FEMS platforms, MES/MOM/ERP interfaces and decision-support tools.
• OEMs and equipment manufacturers providing subsystems (batteries, compressors, ESS) that must interface with FEMS.
• Consultants and auditors implementing energy-performance analysis, demand response strategies and compliance programs.

Practical use cases include real-time energy monitoring, predictive analysis, operational optimization (peak shaving, peak shifting), integration of renewables and storage, and automated coordination between production schedules and energy constraints.

INTRODUCTION
The world's energy use has been increasing along with economic growth. Energy use by
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries is no longer
increasing. According to World Energy Outlook 2020 [3], energy demand in OECD countries
has been on a declining trend since 2007 with continued increase of their gross domestic
product. On the other hand, energy use in developing countries has been increasing in both
growth rate and value. Energy use by the industry sector is more than 50 % of the total
consumption and it is forecast to increase by about 10% between 2018 and 2030. Although
the rate of increasing energy demand is lower than the rate in the report published in 2012,
this increase causes serious concerns for environmental impact and presents opportunities for
energy management. To control global warming, the energy from renewable resources will be
increasing globally. It is expected that the share of renewable energy to total demand will
increase from about 30 % in 2019 to about 40 % in 2030. Outputs of renewable energy
resources such as solar photovoltaics and wind etc. require power regulation to manage
integration with the overall grid. Industrial facilities are major energy consumers and, also
major energy generators. Therefore, the industrial sector is expected to play a significant role
to satisfy the power regulations for the smart grid using renewable energy for decarbonization.
Consequently, it is quite urgent for the industrial sector to deploy energy management
systems to improve the energy efficiency to support the decarbonization of society.
Energy management in the manufacturing industries is linked to production and depending on
the industry it can have a very wide range of requirements. To date, energy management
systems have been custom developed for/by each company and then enhanced based on
practical experiences thus further customizing them. Therefore, there are many different EMS
for each organization. As coordination between related organizations becomes necessary for
the optimal operation of each facility, the functions of an industrial Facility Energy
Management System (FEMS) are required to be standardized to realize the benefits of making
better use of the available energy within and across enterprises and organizations.
Production systems have a hierarchical layered structure such as Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) / Manufacturing Execution
Systems (MES) and Control. FEMS may have been installed parallel to each layer of the
production system to communicate with them. As the production system is integrated for
overall optimization, expanding the boundary of FEMS for the horizontal and/or vertical
integration of FEMS is also required to have an input to that integrated production system
structure.
For overall optimization, the production system executes under the multiple constraints such
as safety, cost, quality of products, production schedule, market requirement, energy, and
others particular to the industry and application. These multiple constraints are prioritized
according to the business situation and used as the objective functions for optimization. Due
to the complexity and continuous variability of practical operation conditions, the objective
functions for optimization, in most cases, are set to the production system manually by an
experienced engineer or operator who has deep knowledge of the operation. FEMS have
been supporting those people by providing necessary information for their decision-making
processes during the operation.
As a FEMS needs to collect energy related information from many kinds of production
systems, MOM/MES and ERP, the volume of information has been increasing extensively. It is
necessary to clarify the necessary information and functions for energy management. It is
also necessary to automate the execution processes of functions of FEMS including the
decision-making processes for optimization as possible.
Automation technologies including modelling, simulation, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and others
enable automating the process for optimization thus reducing manual operation / intervention.
FEMS provide necessary functions and information for the above-mentioned optimization.

IEC 63376:2023  IEC 2023 – 9 –
FEMS functions need to be defined as an international standard to improve interconnectivity
between the FEMS and other related systems. This document proposes to define the
functions, information flows and classification of FEMS based on the level of achievement of
FEMS capabilities. The level of automation of FEMS functions will be one factor to define the
classification. The level will provide management with a motivation and path for a stepwise
progression through the classification. The resulting FEMS standard increases the
sophistication of control in industrial complexes and processes so that improved optimization
of facility operations can be obtained. Furthermore, the information exchange among FEMS
and other systems such as MOM/MES and ERP will be defined for the integration.
International standardization will benefit both end users and suppliers of FEMS.

4 General
4.1 Energy management activities in Industrial Facilities
In the customer domains of energy such as Home, Building/Commercial and Industry, energy
management systems: Home Energy Management System (HEMS), Building Energy
Management System (BEMS) and FEMS respectively have been deployed depending on the
characteristics of energy consumption. Figure 1 depicts the characteristic features of FEMS,
BEMS, and HEMS. Key factors are the energy usage and number of entities in each domain.
Arrows show energy distribution. Up-down-double arrows show energy trading between Home,
building and Industry through the energy distribution.

Figure 1 – Characteristic feature of HEMS, BEMS, and FEMS
The energy consumption of users of FEMS is generally larger than that of BEMS and HEMS,
the effect of a single industrial entity’s energy efficiency improvement is significant. The
profile of energy demand varies among entities as a function of the different types of energy
sources in a manufacturing facility. Typical energy sources are electricity, fuel, steam, hydro,
and distributed energy resources (DER) such as renewable energy, combined heating and
power stations, and storage systems to provide useful energy in the form of power, heat,
steam, heating or cooling water, compressed air and similar. FEMS is usually provided as a
made-to-order product. BEMS has a larger number of target entities and is readily available
as a ready-made product. HEMS, which deals with a larger number of smaller entities, is a
readily available mass product. Each system and associated complexity / degree of
customization has a corresponding price.
Energy management in a manufacturing enterprise is performed with consideration for
harmonizing many conflicting requirements such as productivity, quality, delivery, production
scheduling, manufacturing cost, profit, safety, environmental and related requirements. Those
requirements are prioritized depending on the corporate objectives and regulations at the time
the energy management decisions are made.

– 14 – IEC 63376:2023  IEC 2023
In industrial facilities, the energy supply facility supplies and manages energy by managing
electricity, heat, steam, hot or cooling water and compressed air to demand facilities such as
production lines. The energy supply facility may be designed independently to have the
capacity to meet the maximum energy demands. When the energy demand decreases, the
mismatch between energy supply and demand can cause significant energy loss and
decrease of energy efficiency. It is necessary to provide an optimum load balance between
equipment of an energy supply facility given the energy demand. Facility energy supply can
be controlled and operated based on the energy demand forecast incorporating factors such
as production schedule and ambient conditions such as changes in weather.
A FEMS collects data from each level of the production system for the optimization of energy
performance compared to the energy demands of the full production system. Collected data
are analysed for an optimum operation of the facility to improve energy performance. There
are many kinds of decision-making processes such as changing set points of equipment,
changing the operating conditions of devices, selecting a manufacturing process depending
on the operating situation, and others. Operating decisions are made automatically by the
system or manually by operators. Guidance systems are used to support manual operation. It
is expected that energy performance of an industrial facility will be improved further by making
FEMS processes highly automated.
4.2 Hierarchical structure of enterprise manufacturing system
4.2.1 Levels of manufacturing enterprises and the activities

Figure 2 – Functional hierarchy
As shown in Figure 2, IEC/ISO 62264-1 (ISA-95) defines the levels for the structure of
manufacturing enterprise.
FEMS is positioned on the level 3 as a part of MOM/MES. Manufacturing operations
management (MOM) is a term used in IEC 62264 to specify a portion of the functional
hierarchy model of a manufacturing enterprise.
