Systems and methods dynamically assess energy efficiency by obtaining a minimum energy consumption of a system, receiving in a substantially continuous way a measurement of actual energy consumption of the system, and comparing the minimum energy consumption to the measurement of actual energy consumption to calculate a substantially continuous energy performance assessment. The system further provides at least one of a theoretical minimum energy consumption based at least in part on theoretical performance limits of system components, an achievable minimum energy consumption based at least in part on specifications for high energy efficient equivalents of the system components, and the designed minimum energy consumption based at least in part on specifications for the system components.

Disclosed is a compliance database and management system for auditing, assessing, and tracking the compliance of companies and their suppliers and method for performing the same. A method for performing supply chain compliance includes collecting supply chain data, such as information about one or more suppliers, compiling (e.g., building) the supply chain data (e.g., into a database) and providing the compiled supply chain data so that the data is accessible to a user. The compiled supply chain data can be analyzed, filtered by one or more parameters, organized by one or more parameters, or a combination thereof by a user.

Methods and systems for automating carbon footprinting are disclosed. In some embodiments, the methods include a plurality of steps. In some embodiments, related to predetermined resources associated with an item from predetermined data sources is obtained. Then, estimated emission factors are calculated for each of the resources. Next, a contributory uncertainty of the data and of the emission factors is determined. Then, a user is guided based on a comparison of the respective contributory uncertainty of data related to the resources or emission factors. Next, both data related to the resources and the estimated emission factors of the resources are utilized to determine a carbon footprint of the item.

An accountability management system for determining an aggregate offset for each layer of a hierarchical network of an enterprise. The accountability management system includes an input processor and a processing engine. The hierarchical network with a plurality of nodes defining the enterprise is retrieved at the input processor. The plurality of nodes include sub-entities and locations, the plurality of nodes are interconnected in an order according to the enterprise, and each layer of the hierarchical network is allocated footprint from a next lower layer. Data sources are linked for the aggregate offset at bottom-most nodes in the hierarchical network. The footprint for the bottom most layer and each layer above the bottom most layer is determined. The aggregate offset for each layer of the hierarchical network for the enterprise. The aggregate offset is recalculated when any of the data sources change or the interrelationship between the nodes is changed.

A system for analyzing energy usage measures one or more parameters indicative of energy usage for a plurality of sub-circuits, where the sampling rate for the measuring is substantially continuous, and automatically transmits information related to at least one of the measured parameters at a rate that enables monitoring of current energy usage. The system further detects a significant change in a measured parameter, determines whether the significant change in the measured parameter is caused by a change in energy usage, and automatically transmits information related to the significant change in the measured parameter caused by the change in energy usage after detecting the significant change.

The invention notably relates to a computer-implemented method of water management for an industrial site, the method comprising collecting, via user-interaction, data related to one or more exploitation scenarios of the industrial site, for each respective exploitation scenario, computing, automatically by a computer system and based on the collected data, for each indicator of a plurality of indicators, a respective indicator value, the plurality of indicators comprising a first group of one or more water risk assessment indicators and a second group of one or more environmental footprint indicators, and displaying, simultaneously on a display of the computer system, a plurality of graphical representations including for the indicator value of each indicator of the first group and the second group, a respective graphical representation. The invention improves water management for an industrial site.

A human-machine interface (HMI) development platform simplifies generation of an industrial visualization application by generating at least a portion of the visualization application based on analysis of digital engineering drawings of an automation system to be monitored and controlled. This drawing-based approach includes creation of HMI interface displays comprising animated graphics representing industrial assets represented in the drawings, and setting animation data sources for the graphics based on analysis of the drawings.

Systems and methods for market-based financial settlement in an electric power grid are disclosed. At least one active grid element is constructed and configured in network communication with a settlement processor. The at least one active grid element participates in the electric power grid by consuming power, supplying power, and/or curtailing power to provide operating reserves and/or grid stability for the electric power grid. The at least one active grid element generates at least one kilowatt packet (KWP) unit based upon measured data for the participation in the electric power grid. The at least one active grid element transmits at least one IP-based settlement message to the settlement processor. The settlement processor provides a market-based financial settlement for the participation of the at least one active grid element based on the at least one KWP unit in real time or near real time.
