Detailed Energy Audit

 Detailed Energy Audit evaluates all systems and
equipment which consume energy and the audit
comprises a detailed study on energy savings and
costs.
 Detailed Energy Audit is carried out in 3 phases

– The Pre-audit Phase
– The Audit Phase
– The Post-Audit Phase

Pre Audit Phase
Step 1
Plan or Organize
Walk through visit
Informal Interview
Step 2
Conduct of brief meeting with Division Head and
create awareness

 Audit Phase
 Step 3
Collect data and desired information about
plant/organization.
Process flow diagram
End utility diagram
 Step 4

Conduct detailed trails /experiment of selected
process/equipments
7

 Audit Phase
 Step 6
 Analysis of energy use
 Preparation of energy & material balance sheet
 Waste & loss analysis
 Step 7
 Identification and development of energy conservation
opportunities
 Step 8
 Cost benefit analysis
 Step 9
 Results and Recommendation
 Presentation before the top management people
8

Post Audit Phase
Step 10
Implementation and follow up
Preparation of action plan
Follow up and periodic review
Monitor the performance
9
Questions which an Energy Auditor should ask

 What function does this system serve?
 How does this system serve its function?
 What is the energy consumption of this system?
 What are the indications that this system is
working properly ?
 If this system is not working, how can it be
restored to good working conditions/
 How can the energy cost of this system be
reduced?

Benchmarking
• Benchmarking can be a useful tool for understanding
energy consumption patterns in the industrial sector
and also to take requisite measures for improving
energy efficiency.
• Factors involved:
– Scale of operation
– Vintage of technology
– Raw material specifications and quality
– Product specifications and quality
14
15
Benchmarking for Energy Performance

Internal Benchmarking
 Historical and trend analysis
External Benchmarking
 Across similar industries
 Scale of operation, vintage of technology, raw material
specification and quality and product specification and
quality
16
Benchmarking for Energy Performance

 Quantification of fixed and variable energy consumption trends vis-
à-vis production levels
 Comparison of the industry energy performance w.r.t. various

production levels (capacity utilization)
 Identification of best practices (based on the external

benchmarking data)
 Scope and margin available for energy consumption and cost

reduction
 Basis for monitoring and target setting exercises
17
Conclusions
 Detailed energy audit is however time consuming
process but result into the significant energy savings
opportunities.
 Auditor should recommend the solutions taking cost
benefit analysis into mind.
 An organization must depute a team for regular
energy monitoring and review.
 Benchmarking is essential to setup a reference point.
