Energy Management Objectives Clarified
The basic objective of any Energy Management

System is to answer five simple questions:
 How much energy is consumed?
 How is the energy consumed?
 Where is the energy consumed?
 When is the energy consumed?
 What is the quality of the energy consumed?
In order to address these queries Energy Audits are

conducted. Lets understand audits -
4
Types of Energy Audit
1. Preliminary Energy Audit

2. Targeted Energy Audit
3. Detailed Energy Audit
5
Walk-Through or Preliminary Audit

Walk-through or preliminary audit comprises
one day or half-day visit
to a plant and
the output is a simple report
based on observation and
historical data provided during the visit.
The findings will be a general comment
based on rule-of-thumbs,
energy best practices or
the manufacturer's data.
6
Preliminary Energy Audit

 Preliminary energy audit uses existing or easily
obtained data
 Establishes the energy consumption in the
organization
 Estimates the scope for saving
 Identifies the most likely areas for attention
 Identifies immediate(no cost or low cost)
improvements
 Sets a ‘reference point’
 Identifies areas for more detailed
study/measurement
7
Preliminary Energy Audit

 Quick overview of energy use patterns
 Provides guidance for energy accounting
system
 Provides personnel with perspectives of
processes and equipment
 Identify energy — intensive processes and
equipment
 Identify energy inefficiency ,if any
 Set the stage for detailed energy survey
8
Benefits of Preliminary Audit

• There is a lot of potential for energy savings
from energy audits.
• Technical solutions proposed in the energy
audits show massive potential for energy
savings in every sub- sector with an average of
almost ten percent of the energy usage.
• However, this can only materialize through
replication at other factories within the
respective sub-sector.
9
Benefits of an Industrial Energy Audit

Energy savings
Avoiding power factor penalties and
environmental compliance costs
Quality improvements
Productivity improvements
Reduced maintenance
Fewer breakdowns
Better safety and protection
A process for repeatable improvements
10
Process VS. Equipment

Equipment efficiency improvement : Max. 5%
Process efficiency improvement : 15% to 30%
Conclusion Focus on Processes
11
Energy Intensive Processes and

Equipments
 Examples of processes Electrlyzer
Electrical furnace  Examples of equipment
Rolling mills Electrical motor
Gas furnace Pump
Steam generation Fan
Feed water system Heater (gas,electric)
Condensate return Dryer (steam/electric)
system Motor / generator
Steam distribution Compressor
system
Light bulb
12
Energy Conservation Opportunities
Electrical
Reduce demand by
load management
Electrical / thermal
Reduce consumption by
improving energy use efficiency
reducing losses
utilizing waste heat
13
Electric furnace
Automation of energy supply control
Substitute electricity by thermal energy
(biomass/solar/gas )
Reduce radiation losses
14

Steam generation system
Combustion efficiency improvement
Waste heat recovery from flue gases
Heat loss reduction from boiler surfaces
Reduce leakage
Condensate return system
Steam distribution system
Pipe insulation
Steam traps
Steam leaks
15
Examples of Conservation Opportunities —
Equipments
1. Gas/air compression system pre-cooling the gas/air
2. High efficiency motors
3. High efficiency lamps
4. High efficiency pump/fan
5. Change electric dryer and heater to oil/gas fuel
6. Replace motor/generator set with silicon controlled
rectifier (SCR)
16
Targeted Energy Audit

 Targeted energy audits are mostly based upon
the outcome of the preliminary audit results.
 They provide data and detailed analysis on
specified target projects.
 As an example, an organization may target its
lighting system or boiler system or compressed
air system with a view to bring about energy
savings.
 Targeted audits therefore involve detailed
surveys of the target subjects/areas with
analysis of the energy flows and costs associated
with those target
17
Conclusions
 Energy Audits are essentially required to have an
energy efficient approach and watch.
 It can be clearly identified that equipment save
energy nearly 5% whereas a process can save upto
30% of energy consumption.
 Using renewable energy resources for
thermal/electric energy needs impacts positively on
energy conservation and environment.
