b) A team of one specialist Certified & Accredited Energy Auditors, BEE were involved
in this energy audit. The energy audit was mainly targeted at identifying practical,
sustainable and economically viable energy saving opportunities in all sections of
the building, resulting from a detailed study and analyses of technical parameters.
The energy audit involved using a wide range of sophisticated, portable, diagnostic
and measuring instruments to generate the data and facilitate in analyses to give a
more reliable basis for evaluation of energy saving potential and economic viability.
c) Electricity, PNG and HSD are the main sources of energy in BPCL Northern Regional
Building. The electrical energy consumption for the last year 2020-21 from grid
works out to 1136256 kVAh (@₹13.04/kVAh), PNG consumption for the last year
2020-21 works out to 2534 kg and also HSD consumption for the last year 2020-21
works out to 6347 Liters. This could increase in future because of the increasing
trend in the cost of all energy sources.
d) The electrical energy saving & energy cost saving potential are identified as 10.82%
& 12.37% respectively over the existing conditions after considering uncertainty
margins for BPCL Northern Region Office Building Complex, and proposals
thereof appear to be quite attractive since most the cases payback period is less
than two year. Sonar Bharat Environment & Ecology (P) Ltd. will try to maximize
the energy savings which is very much possible if uncertainties are found favorable.
Details are given in table below.

ENERGY AUDIT 2021 IN BPCL NORTHERN REGION OFFICE BUILDING, NOIDA, UP
4.0 Introduction:
Energy Audit is an effective means of establishment present efficiency levels and
identifying potential areas of improvement in energy consumption. Energy audit of utility
systems largely helps in reducing the energy consumption with resultant reduction in fuel
and electricity bills. Audit involves data collection, data verification and detailed analysis of
the data. The analysis leads to recommendations, which are short term (with minimum
investment), medium term (with moderate investment) and long term (with capital
expenditure). The cost benefit analysis of various energy conservation proposals enables
managements to take decisions regarding implementation schedules.
Energy conservation is a worldwide objective to save the human being from possible
disaster. Under the mandate of The Energy Conservation Act 2001, the Bureau of Energy
Efficiency and Government of India are implementing various programmers to provide
momentum of the energy conservation movement in the country. Energy Auditing is most
vital part of the conservation of energy. In order to improve the efficiency of the Energy
consuming system, energy auditing is the first necessary action to be taken by the
concerned firm. Through the energy auditing actual parameters can be detected at each
step, which can be compared with the standard achievable parameters. For proper Energy
auditing and energy accounting, parameters need to be monitored on regular basis and for
any deviation immediate action is needed to rectify and retain the efficiency at the
optimum level.

i. Electrical energy consumption (in kWh or in kVAh) & thermal energy consumption (in TOE) for the
year 2020-21 are found to be increasing in trend as compared to the year 2020-21. And it was mainly
due to COVID 19 Lockdown situation, wherein office activity was closed & it was carried out from
home as work at home through online internet facility for some of the months in the year 2020 &
onwards, resulting in lesser energy consumption.
ii. In the present scenario the Energy Performance Index (EPI) of BPCL Building, Noida is in increasing
in trend for the year 2020-21. Still, it is found to be less compared to the published ECBC of BEE.
Hence, energy efficiency is maintaining by BPCL Building, Noida. Still target should be fixed for
further reduction of loss of electrical energy by Power Factor Correction with Harmonic Mitigation,
accurate energy accounting, timely energy auditing by third party and adoption of new energy saving
technologies.

The main source of electrical energy in BPCL Building, Noida is the 11 kV grid power of
PVVNL. Beside grid power another source of electrical energy is own generation from 2 x
750 kVA & 1 x 500 kVA Diesel Generating (DG) sets. Normally DG sets are used as standby
source of electricity, when power cut occurs.
Normally, 6 kV power is fed to the main substation of BPCL Building, Noida through
underground network of PVVNL, where two transformers, like Transformer-1 &
Transformer-2 of capacity 1000 kVA, 11 kV/0.433 kV each are energized separately
through one 11 kV/11 kV Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). All transformers are
equipped with vacuum switchgear & over current & earth fault protection relays. Presently
such transformers run in without parallel mode operation and serve loads of this building.
All LT PCC of Transformer-1 & Transformer-2 are equipped with new variable LT
capacitors with APFC, having capacity 250 kVAr & 250 kVAr respectively for power factor
correction. There are no other capacitor banks at load centers. Details of transformer
specification, DG set specification & LT capacitor specification are given in table-13.1.1,

e) Presently average power factor for Transformer-1 is found to be less (0.939) & not maximized for
reduction of kVAh unit reduction as some of Capacitors in APFC Panel-1 is de-rated due to harmonic
resonance.
f) Average voltage unbalancing at LT PCC of transformers is found to be satisfactory (0.54%), which lies
within acceptable limit of 1%. Unbalancing of load current in between three phases was observed
and some cases excess current (Avg.-58.2A) flow through the neutral, leading to increase of line
losses & transformer eddy current loss. Hence, it has to be minimized or neutralized.
g) Derived efficiency of Transformer-1 is found to be satisfactory even with harmonic loading.
h) Total current harmonic distortion (%THDi) is found to be high due to existence of non-linear loads,
like VFD with chiller compressor, secondary chilled water pumps, condenser-cooling tower pumps,
fan-motor of Air Handling Units, LED lamp, UPS, Computers, Sever etc.

b. Some cases loading of Air Handling Units (AHU) is found to be less than 50% as most of
motors run with low frequency or low speed with VFD, indicating low operational efficiency
as against design value.
c. Significant leading power factor was observed at input starter of CT Fan – 3 motor, CDW
Pump – 2 motor, SCW Pump – 3 motor, AHU - 13 (Wing-B) fan motor & AHU - 3 (Wing-A)
fan motor and it due to improper flux distribution in between stator & rotor, resulting in
further increase of line current & chances of increase voltages.
d. Most cases Total Current Harmonic Distortion (%THDi) is found to be significantly high for
VFD connected motors like for Compressor for Screw Chillers, Secondary Chilled Water
Pumps, Condenser-cooling Tower Pumps, Air Handling Units. This harmonic currents of
different order is flowing through the entire networks & infects other motors, which are
connected with DOL starter or Y/Δ starter and increases motor losses.
e. Some cases higher & some cases significant current unbalancing was observed for the motor
of CT Fan – 3, SCW Pump – 2, AHU - 2 (Wing-A), AHU - 13 (Wing-B), AHU - 3 (Wing-A), AHU -
23 (Wing-B), AHU - 10 (Wing-A), AHU - 8 (Wing-B), AHU - 5 (Wing-A) & AHU - 17 (Wing-B),
leading to increase of motor winding losses.
f. All cases voltage unbalancing at starter input is found to be satisfactory & lies within
acceptable limit of 1%.

The field study was included the LUX measurements & comparison with IS standard, condition of
lamp/ luminaries survey, lighting supply voltage etc.
A detail of LUX measurements for main building was carried out at some of wings of different floors
randomly by digital LUX meter.
Details of different types of lighting population & energy consumption are furnished below.
MAIN BUILDING
Type of Light Lighting Population
5W LED (R) Fix. 1379
10W LED (R) Fix. 68
12W LED TL 157
18W LED TL 2585
9W CFL 85
50W Halogen 34
At present 97.24% cases BPCL building covers & uses most energy efficient & long lasting
LED based lighting system like low watt high efficacy LED Tube light & Round down low
wattage LED fixtures and only 2.76% conventional & high wattage lighting system i.e. CFL &
spot halogen still exists.
Inefficient 50W spot halogen lamps contribute to around 0.79% of total lighting population,
which is less & satisfactory. Building may be replaced this inefficient halogen spot light in
phase manner by low wattage LED based yellow colour.
18W LED TL (Tube Light) contributes to highest population & energy consumption (60% &
78.88% respectively).
Most cases measured LUX for wing work space areas was found to be marginally less as
compared to recommended value of IS 3646 (Part-1)-1992.
Lighting system of most of the office toilets in wing areas of different floor is equipped with
occupancy sensor and substantial amount of energy saving is realized due to automatic
switching off the lighting circuits during non-occupancy time.
There is no scope for harnessing Natural Day light at office areas of the wing areas of
different floor. Hence lighting requirement is found to be high.
Measured lighting voltage is found to be high (242.3 volt) & it is not optimized in main
lighting feeders. Hence electrical energy is lost & reduced the life of the connected lamps
also.

No energy meter is connected to the lighting feeder at present. Hence, no energy accounting
is done for lighting feeder.

bill & increase of monthly kVA demand, leading to increase demand charges @ ₹673.14/kVA/month
(monthly average) and also to increase of winding eddy current losses & load loss of Transformer to
a greater extent.
At present existing 2 x 250 kVAr 10 steps Capacitor APFC Panels are totally connected to LT PCC
Incomer Panel-1 & LT PCC Incomer Panel-2 and some of step capacitors were de-rated due to mainly
occurrence of dangerous harmonic resonance, where recorded maximum total current harmonic
distortion was found to be 16.8% and mainly 3rd, 5th, 7th,, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th order of odd & evil
harmonics were present in the electrical system, which were generated from non-linear “Variable
Frequency Drive”, connected to motor of Chiller Compressors & Secondary Chilled Water Pumps,
UPSs, Driver of LED Lights, Server etc. Moreover, significant high current unbalancing in between
three phases was observed with high neutral current & presence of triple-n (3rd, 6th, 9th, 15th, 21st etc.)
order and 5th & 7th order of odd & evil harmonics, which increased the line losses, Transformer losses
& Motor losses to a greater extent & de-rating the current carrying capacity of existing feeder cables
of different floor of this building & transformers. As a result excess heating effect will be developed &
overall energy consumption was increased to a greater extent. Hence, if Hybrid harmonic filters
(combination of Active & Passive) are installed at LT PCC of these two Transformers, power factor
will be corrected automatically at a maximum level (Above 0.995), leading to reduction of kVAh unit
consumption as well as kVA demand substantially.
An ever increasing deployment of electronic non-linear load application causes the grid power
quality to deteriorate. The displacement power factor and the current distortion are two key
indicators of the quality of the grid power. An active harmonic filter (AHF) alone is capable of
addressing both, the low power factor issue as well as the high current distortion issues of power
quality. However the higher cost and higher losses associated with the AHF makes the AHF an
expensive proposal for addressing multiple power quality problems. In view of this, audit offers an
economical hybrid solution which combines the features of the AHF with those of automatic power

‘Energy Saver Lamp Controller’ (ESLC or ES-25) with Raising main Incomer-2 for

225 volt without sacrificing illumination in different indoor building areas
18.2.1 Background:
During lighting load analysis for two Raising Mains feeders, comprising of lighting loads & other
mixed loads, it was observed that phase voltages of these raising mains feeders are significantly high
than required. Most cases these raising main feeders are operated with an average phase voltage of
241.0 volts, which exceeds the lamp rating voltage also. Higher voltage gives higher illumination, but
56 | P a g e Sonar Bharat Environment & Ecology (P) Ltd., Date: 8th December 2021
ENERGY AUDIT 2021 IN BPCL NORTHERN REGION OFFICE BUILDING, NOIDA, UP
life of lamps and luminaries deteriorate very fast as well as significant electrical energy is lost due to
higher voltage operation. This higher voltage reduces the life of the lamps.
At present Bharat Bhavan building uses dedicated lighting feeders for stable. Nominal Voltage of
operation of all lamps is invariably 215 Volts. But in this building line voltage obtained is related to
the tapping set at 3, which is more than 415.7 volts (Avg. of all phases). Applying this voltage leads to
higher energy consumption and also reduced lamp life.
ENERGY SAVER LAMP CONTROLLERS (ESLC) helps in reducing energy consumption by reducing the
applied r.m.s voltage, without a proportionate reduction in the illumination level. These are suitable
for fluorescent and other types of lamps including LED, Halogen, CFL, incandescent, Mercury Vapor,
Metal Halide, Quartz etc. The device enables the user to adjust level of savings. The first 10% saving
can be realized without any perceptible drop in illumination level. The ESLC controls entire circuits
of lighting from the lighting distribution board and is a superior alternative to switching off lamps, on
a selective basis to save energy.
ESLC is designed on the basis of technology that even though the manufacturers to start specify the
rated voltage, the resulting ark can be started and stabilized at lower voltage also. This voltage
reduction is achieved by introducing virtually loss-less impedance in the path to reduce power
consumption at optimum level without affecting other parameters.

Balancing the load current in between phases for all LT Feeders by Shifting Single
Phase Load from higher to lower mutually, checking of tightness for two feeder cable
terminals at MCCB, SFU, Starter, LT Motor, MCB, Bus-bar Chamber etc. and reduction
of Substantial Line Losses
18.3.1 Background:
Three-phase unbalance is a familiar issue for power system engineering. This can introduce
additional power losses in distribution network in steady states due to both negative and zero
sequence components. It could also limit the loading capability of distribution transformers, well
below their nominal ratings.
From the measurements at two LT Feeders from CESC supply, it is seen that large amount of current
unbalancing exists in between three phases & considerable amount of unbalance current flows
through neutral, which leads to increase line losses (I2R). It is also noticed that considerable amount
of unbalance current flow through neutral conductor, which also heats up neutral conductor &
increase losses.
Any large single phase load or a number of small loads connected to only one phase cause more
current to flow from that particular phase causing voltage drop on line. Switching of three phase
heavy loads results in current and voltage surges which cause unbalance in the system.
