The Energy Management According to ISO 50001:2011 Standard and AEMAS Scheme Feasibly Implement in Viet Nam Huy Anh QUYEN Faculty of Electrical & Electronics Engineering University of Technical Education Ho Chi Minh City Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam anhqh@hcmute.edu.vn Tan Thanh Tung LE Faculty of Electrical & Electronics Engineering University of Technical Education Ho Chi Minh City Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam letanthanhtung@ieee.org Abstract — This paper presents the model of energy management standard ISO 50001:2011 and the upgraded version of its model – AEMAS. The application of the sustainable energy management model helps increasing the efficiency in energy management aimed at reducing production energy costs and improves a competitiveness of products. The paper also analyzes the current status of implementation of energy management, the advantage and disadvantage to implementing ISO 50001 and AEMAS model in the Viet Nam present economics context. Research results show the suitability that the model can be deployed immediately and proposed the roadmap of 10 years to deploy the ISO 50001 standards and the AEMAS as mass. Energy management; energy policy; energy planning; energy center, energy target. I. INTRODUCTION At present, energy is the global issue and each country must be proactive on the energy demand of their own country. Beside of developing the new energy resource, need to review the status of energy use in each unit thus to make the logical and efficient energy policies. In 2011, The International Standard Organization published the ISO 50001:2011 to give a common standard for energy management issues. The European Commission also developed an upgraded version of the ISO 50001 standard called Energy Management Gold Standard (EMGS). This standard is being transferred to Asian countries through the ASEAN Center for Energy (ACE) with the name ASEAN Energy Management Scheme (AEMAS). With the trend of the world, the Government of Viet Nam urged companies, organizations to implementing of energy conservation. Accordingly, they are obliged to implement the Law on energy conservation and efficient use, the decrees and other relevant requirements [1] to have the more energy effective solutions. The government issued the list of major energy units. Simultaneously, they are also encouraged to apply the energy management policies based on the ISO 50001 standard and the AEMAS scheme. II.

Energy Management System Model The energy management system – EnMS is a continuous improvement process by PDCA circle. The energy management model requires to build up the energy policy and energy planning in clearly and specifically. The energy planning must be drawn up inputs, outputs and define energy conservation potentials to improve the efficiency of the system. The energy management system model also requires to make the internal audit of EnMS by monitoring, measurement and analysis. Figure 1 shows the energy management model by ISO 50001:2011 standard. During the checking process, need to find out the nonconformities, correction, corrective and preventive actions in the sustainable energy management system. All stages of the energy management process should be reviewed, inspected and made the timely necessary improvements. 978-1-4673-4584-2/12/$31.00 ©2012 IEEE IPEC 2012 289
