ENERGY MANAGEMENT CULTURES ASSESSMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF SERVICE IN POWER PLANTS A RESEARCH GAP FOR FUTURE STUDIES

Abstract

The power generation in the power plants is liable to diminish with the continuing losses in the quantity and quality of the electricity produced, as the power system exhibits critical deviations due to the lack of clear policies to adopt energy management programs in the power plants compared with other industries sector. Aim: This article presents the energy management system cultures assessment and its impact on service quality in power plants with two objectives. Firstly, an analytical study evaluating the worthiness of A learning management system (LMS) in various organizations, including the power production industry. Secondly, identify the popularity of LMS standards in the production and distribution of electricity sectors.  Methods: In this paper, an analytical study has been performed to evaluate a learning management system (LMS) worthiness in various organizations, including the power production industry, and analysis the benefits, challenges, and motivation of adopting  ISO 50001in the power plants. Data of ISO enlighten LMS in various global organizations are obtained from Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM). Results and Discussion: Results found that only 7.69 % have been adopting EMs in the power plants. The rest, 92.31% in other industries. The results indicated a lack of awareness in the organization's culture and top management support in adopting energy management programs in power plants, as they represent the two most significant challenges facing the implementation of energy management programs in the power plants. Conclusions: This research contributes to strengthening and filling the literary gap by investigating quality restrictions and energy management standards ISO 50001, representing a major challenge facing electricity production and distribution.  Thus, intensive study to analyze the level of energy management in power plants is highly recommended as future work and further investigations about the role of top management support and the organization's culture in facilitating the implementation of energy management programs.
