HANNOVER MESSE 2017 (24–28 April, Mon.–Fri.):
Energy efficiency in the spotlight
-
Energy efficiency to feature prominently at HANNOVER MESSE’s Energy
trade show
Hannover. More growth for less energy consumption? Energy efficiency can
make it happen. This year, the Energy show at HANNOVER MESSE will
again feature a large number of companies demonstrating precisely this point.
One of these companies is Glen Dimplex Deutschland GmbH. The German
subsidiary of the international Glen Dimplex Group supplies heating and
cooling systems ranging from domestic heat pumps to industrial installations.
Director Marketing Communications Sigmund Perner outlines the company’s
perspective on energy efficiency: “As an industry, we need to do more to
integrate the use of heating and cooling. At the moment, these systems tend
to
be
separate.
But
by
integrating
them
using
intelligent
temperature
management systems, we can achieve major cost savings for industrial
users.” Perner also notes that much remains to be done over the next few
years to ensure compliance with the upcoming ban on environmentally harmful

refrigerants.
Not that heating and cooling are the only areas that offer efficiency gains. In
fact, there is room for improvement in almost all other areas of production.
Admittedly, realizing those gains is sometimes difficult because the current
relatively low oil prices are a barrier to securing large-scale investment in
energy-saving technology. However part of the problem is awareness, or
rather, lack of it. Which is why, in Germany, companies from a wide range
of backgrounds have banded together to form “Energieeffizienz 360” – an
initiative aimed at raising awareness of energy issues in industrial circles.
The
initiative
comprises
Glen
Dimplex
Deutschland
GmbH,
Kaeser
Kompressoren SE (compressed-air systems), Neuenhauser (LED technology,
lighting) and Gildemeister (energy-efficiency consulting). One part of the
initiative’s brief is to highlight the enormously broad scope for efficiencyenhancing technical optimization in industrial contexts. The other is to raise
awareness of the fact that individual parts of the energy paradigm can be
integrated using the latest advances in digitalization, thereby making them
more efficient both to operate and to control.
Achieving
this
integration
requires
well-designed
data-driven
energy
management systems. The success of such systems hinges on capturing,
visualizing
and
analyzing
energy
data
with
reference
to
the
underlying
production data. “It’s about tracking how much energy is used, where it is
used and when,” explains Karsten Reese, General Manager of IngSoft

GmbH, a company that will be exhibiting at the Digital Energy display in
Hall 12 at the Energy show. IngSoft GmbH develops software for integrated
energy management. “The product innovation that we will be presenting
relates to a software solution that uses automated algorithms to detect
patterns from among thousands of energy load profiles,” explains Reese, who
welcomes the growing interest in energy transparency among industrial firms.
Of course, transparency requires good data, and for that you need accurate,
smart measurement technology of the kind that Janitza electronics GmbH will

of
integration, measurement and energy efficiency will doubtless also be among
the topics that trade visitors and experts will be discussing in depth in the
forums and at the exhibitor stands at this year’s Energy show. In all of
these discussions, the focus will be on energy management solutions that
help reduce plant operating costs and boost competitiveness.
Providers of the technologies that drive energy efficiency are experiencing
growing demand from the manufacturing industry. This is undoubtedly due in
part
to
the
recent
introduction
of
mandatory

auditing
in
some
countries, including Germany, pursuant to EU law. But it is also being driven
by the wave of digitalization that is sweeping practically all manufacturing
processes.

But whatever its form and motivation, every energy-efficiency project must
make sound business sense in today’s competitive market. “Energy efficiency
should not be an end in itself. Improving energy efficiency across the entire
production and supply chain will only work if the individual users, owners
and investors in the chain perceive it as offering them concrete benefits,”
says Stefan Kapferer, Chairman of the Executive Board of the German
Energy and Water Industry Federation (BDEW). “A heavy-handed approach
to energy-efficiency regulation could potentially stifle growth in the European
economy. It could also lead to increased compliance bureaucracy and be
very costly to administer. And that would erode public acceptance of energy
efficiency programs,” Kapferer warns. As alternatives to regulation, he cites
various great advances over the past 25 years which, he says, were
achieved without major legislative intervention: “Between 1991 and 2015,
Germany’s energy productivity – the ratio of economic output to energy
consumption – improved by just on 50 percent.”
The next chapter in this success story will be written using the new ideas
