electrical and safety systems. Smart integration gave technicians the ability to monitor and control the whole facility from a single interface. ABB solutions were a key part of Petrobras’ modernisation program aiming to produce new high-quality, low-sulfur fuels and biofuels to meet growing global and domestic demand for clean energy
REDUCING NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT As the transition towards more sustainable energy practices gathers pace, with it comes the wider adoption of more renewable forms of energy, and therefore the need to manage multiple power sources. New energy assets within the plant or enterprise present increased management complexities, which better process power management helps to control. As noted above, the utility industry is facing widespread disruption to its traditional modes of operation. Integration of new sources of renewable energy and the related introduction of distributed power generation are chief among these. Distributed generation is a method of
generating and storing electricity using a variety of smaller, grid-connected or distribution system-connected devices referred to as distributed energy
biomass, biogas, solar power, wind power, and geothermal power, and as such can help reduce environmental impacts and aid the transition to cleaner, greener energy.
resources. Conventional coal-fired and gas power stations, nuclear power plants, hydroelectric dams and large-scale solar power stations are based on a centralized approach, which often results in electricity needing to be transmitted over long distances from plant to end users. Conversely, distributed generation employs a decentralized system located closer to the customers it serves and offers a more flexible approach. Due to this distributed approach, distributed energy generation and storage lends itself well to the adoption of renewable energy sources, including small hydro,

ENERGY MANAGEMENT FOR THE FUTURE Smarter and more effective energy management underpins the growing global demand for optimised energy performance. While presenting clear opportunities to drive profitability in the form of reduced operational costs and increased efficiencies, effective energy management is also integral to ensuring a consistently reliable energy supply, and reducing negative environmental impact. Fundamental and rapid change across
the sector is driving the need for greater energy intelligence, which will provide the framework to achieve a successful, meaningful transition to renewable energy sources, for today and tomorrow. Effective energy management demonstrates how profitability, sustainability and energy reliability can co-exist, and that the future of energy management depends on how successfully they are combined.
