Energy and Environmental compliance

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I am a SAP EHS presales and consultant guy.

I need info on how to implement Energy and Environment compliance or one power plant.

It is very very urgent.

Can anyone send links or basic info on this.

Regards

Hello

just check:

SAP Energy and Environmental Intelligence 1.0, Powered by SAP HANA – SAP Help Portal Page

http://www.sapintegratedreport.com/2012/uploads/tx_sapaddons/PDF_ID_175_L_1.pdf

coould be of interest as well.

Energy and Environmental Intelligence is no longer offered. Instead, the energy management business process requirements are being met with Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (MII). Please check the SAP Manufacturing solutions. Environmental requirements are met with the EHSM solution. EC 3.0 and EHSM 6.0.

Hi Mary,

I just got curious about scope and coverage of 'Energy Management' through EHSM solutions, in particular EC solution. Earlier, for calculating and aggregating energy consumption (electricity/fuel/oil/steam/water), we could propose to clients for using the SAP EC platform as pointed out by George also. The EC solution also sufficed for carbon footprint out of the various energy consumption through the concepts of facilities, equations and materials, and moreover, one could produce analytics and reporting out of it.

So, when you say Energy 'Intelligence' no longer being offered by SAP under EC, does that mean 'intelligence' was some another attribute which was offered earlier in EC and no more available now; or is it simply not recommended to capture energy specific businesses within EC as MII offers better possibilities??? Please explain how we should approach customers asking for all-round solutions around energy management having all of the component in their IT basket viz. SAP EC, SAP MII and MES solutions (e.g. Honeywell/ Aspen etc)..

The solution called SAP Energy and Environmental Intelligence 1.0 Powered by SAP HANA was only offered for a short time and did not become Generally Available (GA). It also was not related in any way to the EHSM solution called Environmental Compliance. It was intended for real-time tracking of energy usage and management of energy reduction initiatives. Therefore, it should be obvious why MII is a reasonable substitute - since it is purpose-built for connecting plant instruments with business users. The EHSM solutions are purpose-built for tracking emissions in the context of regulatory compliance and reporting, with less need for true real-time tracking (ie. instantaneous). So managing consumptions and emissions by facility, using equations, and producing reports for regulatory agencies are all within the scope of the EHSM solutions.

Thanks for the nice explanation Mary!

So, if I understood you correctly, if MII is available, we should rather not use EC web-services to connect with the Data Historians for pushing sensor/analyzer data into EC. SAP recommends to use MII for all the purpose of data collection (from Historians/Plant connectors/SCADA/DCS etc) and aggregation rules (if aggregation not done in Historians), build all the energy consumption monitoring/analytics for internal benchmarking within MII, and if there exist a need for regulatory compliance & reporting around energy management; push the required data from MII to EC, which goes and sits against EC facilities for further processing???

Please confirm if above understanding is correct??

No that is not quite what I am saying. As I understand it, MII is somehow involved already in integrating from the plant systems (SCADA etc.) to EC but even if you are skipping MII and using the webservices to connect directly to EC, either way is a very appropriate use case. When you have the opportunity to automate the data collection from the source into EC for the regulatory tracking and reporting, you should do that. The SAP Energy and Environmental Intelligence Powered by SAP HANA solution, which was part of this original thread, had a different use case - not environmental regulatory reporting at all, but rather real-time energy monitoring in order to reduce energy consumption and reduce costs. What I have been trying to expalin (and obviously not well enough) is that these are two different use cases. There is a loose connection there, since if you reduce your energy consumption, you will also reduce your environmental air emissions, but the main purposes are different.

All right...Thanks again for explaining the use cases further. Whether the use case is for regulatory tracking & reporting OR real-time energy monitoring, I was more interested to understand the recommended approach when MII & EC, both are available with the client. I think, I have got the answer now.

Hi Mary,

Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (MII) is included in SAP learning HUB, Where we can gain knowledge on this.

Will you share some links.

Hi,

This is not my area, but I found the following. I hope this will get you started:

http://help.sap.com/mii

and

https://solutionexplorer.sap.com/solexp/ui/vlm/default/vlm/default-lob-72/default-bpr-414,default-e2... (This might not be the public link, so if it doesn't work for you, do a Google search for SAP Solution Explorer. Then on that page, browse by solution and look for Manufacturing LOB.)

Thank you so much for the start up.

Hello Sateesh,

I believe you are looking for the implementation of Environmental compliance module .

You can find the implementation guide  and other details by typing" Environmental compliance implementation guide". You may get EC 3.0 ,but check the latest version.

Also to implement this scenario you need to configure the following in SAP EC system

1. Facilities/materials

2.permit management

3.Units/dimensions

4.Emission management

5.Task management

For calculating energy and gas emissions you have to create new calculations or bring the same from external system through integration. You can generate Standard reports or BI reports.

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Regards

George
