Abstract. There are a number of programs that perform analyzes on energy types. One
of the current issues is to study their properties and bring them into a single system. In
this article, we demonstrated the available capabilities, benefits, and limitations of
energy resource management programs. We analyzed which operating system the energy
management software runs on, the availability of mobile and site versions, which
industry it belongs to, and the cost. Measurement results show that while the program
with the highest score was Wattics, the features in other programs are not available in
this program. Finally, it is important to create a single database that integrates all the
data in these processes and to create a program based on a single system that manages
this database.
1.INTRODUCTION 2019 (+1%) and global electricity consumption
grew at a much slower pace than in recent years
According to the statistics, global power generation, (+0.7% compared to an average 3%/year over the
which had increased by nearly 3%/year over the 2000-2018 period) (pic.1.). [1] According to 2016
2000-2018 period, slowed down significantly in data, Uzbekistan has 1,628 kWh of energy per
capita.
