A tidal energy system is a small-scale renewable energy solution that
harnesses the kinetic and potential energy of tidal movements to generate
electricity. This system typically consists of compact tidal turbines or
barrages placed in coastal areas with significant tidal activity. Unlike large-
scale tidal power plants, micro-projects are designed for localized
applications, such as powering small communities, remote coastal areas, or
individual facilities. They offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly
alternative to fossil fuels, with minimal ecological impact. Advances in
turbine technology, energy storage, and grid integration have improved the
efficiency and feasibility of such systems. Despite challenges like site
selection, high initial costs, and maintenance in marine environments, micro
tidal energy systems have the potential to provide a reliable, predictable, and
clean energy source, contributing to the global shift towards sustainable
power generation.

 INTRODUCTION

Energy Monitoring and Targeting (EnMT) is a system used to track, measure,

and optimize energy consumption within organizations or industrial facilities.
It involves the collection and analysis of energy data to identify opportunities
for improving energy efficiency, reducing costs, and minimizing
environmental impact. By continuously monitoring energy usage,
organizations can set specific energy consumption targets, compare actual
performance to these targets, and implement corrective actions where needed
to reduce energy consumption and improve overall efficiency. These actions
might include upgrading equipment, implementing energy-saving
technologies, improving operational practices, or changing how energy-
intensive processes are scheduled or executed energy monitoring and targeting
is a powerful tool for organizations seeking to enhance energy efficiency,
reduce costs, and support sustainability efforts. By systematically monitoring
energy use, setting clear targets, and implementing improvements,
organizations can make significant strides toward reducing their
environmental impact and achieving long-term energy savings.

 WORKING PRINCIPAL

Energy monitoring and targeting (EM&T) is a systematic approach to tracking

and improving energy usage in an organization. It involves the continuous
collection of energy consumption data through meters installed at key points
in the facility, which is then integrated into a central system for analysis. The
system helps visualize energy usage patterns and provides reports to highlight
trends. Targets for energy consumption are set based on baseline data,
allowing for performance comparison and identification of areas where energy
is being used inefficiently. By analyzing this data, inefficiencies or wastage
can be pinpointed, and optimization opportunities such as equipment upgrades
or process adjustments can be implemented. The system supports continuous
monitoring, ensuring that energy-saving measures remain effective over time.
Ultimately, EM&T helps organizations reduce energy costs, improve
operational efficiency, and contribute to sustainability efforts by minimizing
energy waste and carbon emissions. It begins with the installation of energy
meters at strategic points within the facility, allowing for the real-time
collection of data on electricity, gas, water, or other energy sources. This data
is then integrated into a central system, which processes and visualizes energy
consumption patterns, providing detailed reports and dashboards that help
managers understand how energy is being used. The next step is setting
energy targets, typically based on historical consumption data or industry
benchmarks, creating a baseline against which current energy usage is
compared. These targets serve as a performance measure, enabling businesses
to identify discrepancies between actual and targeted energy use. Any
variance from the target indicates potential inefficiencies or opportunities for
improvement. By analyzing the data, organizations can uncover areas of
energy waste, whether due to malfunctioning equipment, inefficient processes,
or improper operational practices. The system facilitates continuous
improvement by regularly assessing energy performance and adjusting
strategies as needed to ensure optimal energy efficienc

 HOW THE ENERGY MONITORING AND TARGETING?

Energy monitoring and targeting (EM&T) is a system used to track

and optimize energy consumption by collecting and analyzing data
from energy meters and sensors installed in buildings or industrial processes.
The process begins with real-time monitoring, where data on
electricity, gas, water, and temperature is continuously gathered and
transmitted to a central system for analysis. This data is then
compared to established energy benchmarks or targets, which help
identify inefficiencies or areas where consumption exceeds
expectations. Using trend analysis and diagnostic tools, the system
pinpoints specific areas for improvement, such as equipment
optimization or operational changes. Reports and visualizations are
generated to provide actionable insights, allowing decision-makers to
make informed adjustments that reduce energy consumption.
Ultimately, EM&T aims to establish a cycle of continuous
improvement, where energy use is regularly monitored, analyzed, and
optimized to achieve better efficiency and cost savings.

 ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES

Advantages of -Energy monitoring and targeting -

1. Energy Cost Savings: Identify and eliminate energy waste, reducing energy
bills.
2. Reduced Maintenance Costs: Detect equipment faults and schedule
maintenance, reducing repair costs.
3. Extended Equipment Life: Optimize energy use, reducing wear and tear on
equipment.
4. Improved Energy Efficiency: Optimize energy use, reducing waste and
improving efficiency.
5. Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Identify opportunities to improve
processes and reduce energy consumption.
6. Better Decision-Making: Data-driven insights enable informed decisions on
energy management.

10
Disadvantages of Energy monitoring and targeting -

1.High Initial Costs: Implementing an energy monitoring system requires

significant investment in hardware, software, and installation. This can be a
barrier for smaller businesses or organizations with limited budgets.

2. Complexity: Setting up and managing an energy monitoring system can be

technically complex. It may require specialized knowledge and expertise,
particularly in data analysis and system integration.

3. Data Overload: EM&T systems collect a vast amount of data, which can be
overwhelming to analyze effectively. Without proper analysis tools or
expertise, organizations might struggle to extract actionable insights.

4. Maintenance Costs: Regular maintenance and updates are needed to keep

the system running smoothly. Over time, this can lead to ongoing costs, which
may not always be anticipated.

5. Employee Resistance: In some cases, employees may resist the

implementation of energy monitoring systems, especially if they feel that their
energy use is being closely monitored or if they are concerned about
performance evaluations.

6. Limited Impact Without Action: While EM&T systems can identify

inefficiencies, the actual improvements in energy use depend on how the data
is interpreted and acted upon

 CONCLUSION

Energy Monitoring and Targeting (EM&T) is a crucial strategy for

organizations aiming to improve energy efficiency, reduce operational costs,
and meet sustainability goals. By monitoring energy consumption in real-time,
setting performance targets, and analyzing data, businesses can identify
inefficiencies, optimize energy use, and make informed decisions for long-
