Abstract: The need for competitiveness on the global market is the main driver for industrial companies to systematically and continuously analyse all possibilities for the optimisation of production process and related costs reduction. Modern industrial processes are increasingly complex with highly dynamic energy use patterns. A systematic approach to industrial energy system analysis requires proper understanding of interactions among the main factors influencing energy performance. Also, systematic approach takes into consideration not only efficiency of individual equipment or machines but also their performances within a system where each piece of equipment delivers specific function.
