Energy Audit (Detail)
As per the Energy Conservation Act-2001, Energy Audit is defined as “the verification, monitoring and analysis of use of energy including submission of technical report containing recommendations for improving energy efficiency with cost benefit analysis and an action plan to reduce energy consumption”.
Why Energy Audit?
Industry
Reduce energy bills
Increase competitiveness
Increase productivity
Improve quality
Increase profits
Nation
Reduce energy imports
Avoided costs can be used for poverty reduction
Conservation of limited resources
Improved energy security
Globe
Reduce Green House Gases & other emissions
Maintains a sustainable environment
Types of Energy Audit
These depend on
Function and type of industry
Depth to which final audit is needed and
Potential and magnitude of cost reduction desired
Detailed Energy Audit (Details)
It offers the most accurate estimate of savings and cost. It considers the interactive efforts all the projects , accounts for the energy use of all major equipment and includes detailed energy cost saving calculations and project cost.
The methodology adopted by CII – L M Thapar Centre for Competitiveness for carring out detailed energy audit is as follows-
Preliminary Energy Audit:
Establish Energy Consumption in the organization
Estimate scope for saving
Identify most likely areas for attention and immediate Savings / Improvement
Set a reference point
Preliminary Energy Audit uses existing or easily obtained data.
Submission of Techno-Commercial Proposal
Scope of Audit
Time Frame
Expertise required
Saving Possible
Pricing Structure and Cost of Audit
Detailed Energy Audit
Meeting with plant personnel
Training Programme
Data Collection and Measurement
Analysis of data
On site trial (if possible)
Establishing energy saving projects
Technical Discussion with Plant Team
Final Presentation to the Management
Submission of Detailed Energy Audit Report consisting of
a.
