Energy management system for an industrial plant

An energy management method for an industrial plant, the industrial plant configured to consume energy using one or more of a plurality of assets deployable in the industrial plant, the energy management method comprising:

• modeling, using an energy consumption model, a production scenario of the industrial plant, the production scenario using a first asset type, the first asset type encompassing at least two interchangeable assets of the plurality of assets, wherein:
• the energy consumption model comprises a plurality of asset energy modules, each asset energy module comprising an asset model for a respective asset of the plurality of assets, and
• the plurality of asset energy modules comprises at least two interchangeable asset energy modules corresponding to the at least two interchangeable assets of the first asset type;
• determining, using a production system energy model of the energy consumption model a plurality of energy consumptions for the production scenario, wherein determining the plurality of energy consumptions comprises interchanging the at least two interchangeable asset energy modules in the production system energy model;
• determining, using an energy production model, an energy production by one or more energy sources of the industrial plant, the energy production model comprising a grid model of a grid of the industrial plant, the grid model including one or more energy source models for the one or more energy sources;
• and
• configuring the industrial plant based on the plurality of energy consumptions and the energy production.
