What is Energy?
Just to brush up the basics, let’s start with the term “energy”.

Energy is defined as – the capacity of a body to do work”. It’s present in various forms, like –
Heat, chemical, light, motion, or gravitational.

The First Law of Thermodynamics is worth recalling here, that states –

Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, but it’s just converted from one form to
another.

We eat food to keep us alive with the energy it stores. So, here we use the chemical energy
present in food for our day-to-day activities.

Similarly, the chemical energy present in coal is converted into electrical energy in thermal
power plants, and then into light energy for lightning in our houses.

Energy managent:

Energy management is the proactive, organized, and systematic coordination of

procurement, conversion, distribution, and use of energy to meet the requirements, taking
into account environmental and economic objectives.

To make things feasible for you, we’d like to define energy management as ,

Energy management is a process that involves optimization of energy use for the best

possible outcomes and taking steps for its conservation. It also includes planning
related to the production of energy and its storage for future usage.

Energy efficiency: Energy Efficiency is economising on the use of energy without adversely
affecting economic growth and development. It includes improving the efficiency.

Energy efficiency simply means using less energy to perform the same task that is
eliminating energy waste.

Energy efficiency simply means using less energy to perform the same task – that is,
eliminating energy waste. Energy efficiency brings a variety of benefits: reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, reducing demand for energy imports, and lowering our costs on
a household and economy-wide level.
Objectives of energy management:

• To minimize energy costs

• To minimize environmental effects.
• Increase efficiency
• Reduce carbon emission and climate protection.
• Find superior energy alternatives

Energy management trends:

• The move to sustainable power

• Digital demands
• Solar energy will continue to rise
• Energy management systems
• Internet of things and smart lighting
• Tunable white lighting

Importance of energy managemet:

• Reduction costs- this is becoming increasingly important as energy costs rise.

• Reduces carbon emissions- and the environmental damage that they cause, as well
as the cost related implications of carbon taxes and the like, your organizations may
be keen to reduce its carbon footprint to promote a green, sustainable image. Not
least because promoting such as image is often good for the bottom line.

• Reduce risks- the more energy you consume, the greater the risk that energy price
increasing or supply shortages could seriously affect your profitability, or even make
it importance for your business or organization to continue. With energy management
you can reduce this risk by reducing your demand for energy and by controlling it so
as make it more predictable.

Key elements of energy managemet:

• STEP 1 – Make commitment : Commit to Continuous Improvement • Organizations

seeing the financial returns from superior energy management continuously strive to
improve their energy performance. Their success is based on regularly assessing
energy performance and implementing steps to increase energy efficiency. 
•
• STEP 2 – assess performance: Understanding current and past energy use is how
many organizations identify opportunities to improve energy performance and gain
financial benefits. Assessing performance is the periodic process of evaluating
energy use for all major facilities and functions in the organization and establishing a
baseline for measuring future results of efficiency efforts.
•
• STEP 3 – set goals: Performance goals drive energy management activities and
promote continuous improvement. • Well-stated goals guide daily decision-making
and are the basis for tracking and measuring progress. Communicating and posting
goals can motivate staff to support energy management efforts throughout the
 organization. • The Energy Director in conjunction with the Energy Team typically
develops goals
•
• STEP 4 – create action plan: Successful organizations use a detailed action plan to
ensure a systematic process to implement energy performance measures. Unlike the
energy policy, the action plan is regularly updated, most often on an annual basis, to
reflect recent achievements, changes in performance, and shifting priorities.

• STEP 5 – implement action plan: To implement your action plan, consider taking the
following steps: • 5.1 Create a communication plan - Develop targeted information for
key audiences about your energy management program. • 5.2 Raise awareness -
Build support at all levels of your organization for energy management initiatives and
goals. • 5.3 Build capacity - You can expand the capacity of your staff through
providing training, access to information, sharing of successful practices, procedures
and technologies, and sharing of lessons learned. • 5.4 Motivate - Create incentives
that encourage staff to improve energy performance to achieve goals. • 5.5 Track
and monitor - Use the tracking system developed as part of the action plan to track
and monitor progress regularly.

• STEP 6 – evaluate progress: Evaluate Progress • Evaluating progress includes

formal review of both energy use data and the activities carried out as part of the
action plan as compared to your performance goals. • 6.1 Measure results -
Compare current performance to established goals. • 6.2 Review action plan -
Understand what worked well and what didn't in order to identify best practices.

• STEP 7 – recognize achievement: Recognize Achievements • 7.1 Providing internal

recognition - to individuals, teams, and facilities within your organization. • 7.2
Receiving external recognition - from government agencies, the media, and other
third party organizations that reward achievement.

Energy management systems

• IS0 50001: it provides framework of requirements for organisations to develop a

policy for more efficient use of energy

• P-D-C-A for EnMS • Conduct an energy review & establish the objectives, baseline,
energy performance indicators (EnPI), targetsPLAN and action plans necessary to
deliver improved energy performance. DO • Implement the energy management
action plans • Monitor and measure processes and the key characteristics of
operations that determine energyCHECK performance against the energy policy and
objectives, and report the results • Take actions to continually improve energy
performance ACT and the EnMS
 • Energy conservation Act, 2001 - This Act requires large energy consumers to adhere
to energy consumption norms; new buildings to follow the Energy Conservation
Building Code; and appliances to meet energy performance standards and to display
energy consumption labels.

Energy management

• An energy audit is an assessment ana analysis of energy flows in a process ar

system, aimed at reducing the amount of energy input into the system without
negatively affecting the output.

 Objectives:

• the main objective of an energy audit is to explore various possibilities for energy
conservation.

 Approach:

• An energy audit requires a through and detailed study at every aspect at the system,
through the performance of various tests and measurements.

 Types of audit:

1. Preliminary energy audit

2. Targeted energy management
3. Detailed energy management

Case study

Rohm and Haas Company is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of specialty materials,
including adhesives, sealants, coatings, monomers, electronic materials, inorganic and
specialty solutions, and ion exchange resins. Founded in 1909 by two German
entrepreneurs, Rohm and Haas has grown to approximately $6 billion in annual revenues.

In 1997, a review of the Deer Park cost structure identified energy use as a major
opportunity. Recognizing that improved energy efficiency would simultaneously lower energy
costs, reduce emissions, and support the company’s emerging sustainable development
initiative, the company created a formal Energy Management Program. The program is
responsible for leveraging these energy-based opportunities to improve the company’s
competitive position.

In just five years, the program has reduced energy intensity by 23.3% per pound of
production

Visual MESA© was also installed to better understand, control, and optimize the entire
facility’s energy use.
Deer Park’s Energy Management Program Team includes PWP representation, broad engineering
expertise (utility, power, project, electrical), and energy management skills. The team’s mission is to
identify, evaluate, develop, recommend, and champion a strategic energy program that delivers the
lowest long-term production costs to the Deer Park plant. Through its activities, the team strives to
facilitate a change in the plant culture and establish energy management as an ongoing and essential
element of manufacturing and design excellence.

The Energy Management Program Team helps establish annual energy savings targets that are
consistent with the business, then works with plant personnel to develop potential project ideas.
The team meets with plant, PWP, and technical management personnel periodically to ensure
proper program alignment and resources. Senior management is actively involved and fully supports
the program, both of which are critical factors for success

Benefits

23% reduction in energy intensity.

Over $18.5 million in cost savings.

440 tons of NOX emissions avoided annually.

Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) of roughly 67,000 tons per year.

Supportive of Sustainable Development

As shown in Figure 1, the team’s comprehensive approach begins with brainstorming new ideas and
follows each project through completion and verification. All new projects are entered into a
database and tracked through implementation and completion. Projects are evaluated, sorted, and
prioritized according to a set of technical, financial, and strategic criteria .Tactical projects, for
example, are defined as short-term, stand-alone projects that can be quickly implemented. Strategic
projects are dependent on other projects or require greater technical evaluation. Projects are
further classified as procedural changes, upgrades or modifications to existing systems, or major
capital projects. Critical success factors are based on past plant experience, energy seminars, and
input from energy agencies and other companies.

Once projects have been completed and are operational, the results are documented to provide
verification of energy and cost savings over time. To date, the team has identified over 150 projects
and has seen more than 50 implemented since 1997
Deer Park’s Energy Management Program relies heavily on energy audits and assessments to
identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency. Both internal staff and external, independent
auditors conduct these assessments, which target critical processes and unit operations that offer
the greatest promise for energy improvements.

These include a low-pressure steam audit, plant-wide pinch assessment, and a third steam system
leak and trap survey. Many audits such as these have generated clear and expert recommendations
for energy improvements at the Deer Park plant.
