ENERGY ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT

ENERGY CONSERVATION
SCHEMES
• We have limited energy resources available on earth
• Our demands continuously increasing day by day
• It is possible that some day, most of the non renewable resources will be exhausted
and will have to switch over to alternate energy
• We save money when we save energy
• We reduce pollution when we save energy
• We save energy when we save energy
• Energy conservation refers to efforts made to reduce energy consumption
• Achieved through:
• Increased efficient energy use
• Reduced consumption from non renewable energy sources
• Energy conservation is often the most economical solution to energy shortages
• Controlling and reducing energy consumption in your organization :
• Reduce costs – this is becoming increasingly important as energy costs rise.
• Reduce carbon emissions and the environmental damage
• Reduce risk – the more energy you consume, the greater the risk that energy price
increases or supply shortages could seriously affect your profitability, or even make
it impossible for your business/organization to continue. With energy management
you can reduce this risk by reducing your demand for energy and by controlling it so
as to make it more predictable

• How best to manage your energy consumption:

• Metering your energy consumption and collecting the data
• Finding and quantifying opportunities to save energy
• Targeting the opportunities energy
• Tracking your progress at saving energy

 Energy conservation measures
Energy conservation measures may be classified on an
economic basis:
• Short term:
• Involve changes in operating practices
• Resulting in little or no capital expenditure
• Medium term:
• Low cost modifications and improvements to existing equipment
• Pay back period is less than two years and often under one year
• Long term:
• Modifications involving high capital costs
• Involves the implementation of new techniques and new technologies

• Short term and medium term together can achieve savings of the
order of 5-10 percent
 SHORT TERM ENERGY CONSERVATION SCHEME
• Items in this group can be considered as a tightening of operational control and improved
house keeping
• Furnace efficiencies:
• greater emphasis should be placed on minimum excess combustion air
• Oxygen levels of flue gases should be continually monitored and compared with
target values
• Oil burners must be cleaned and maintained regularly
• Heat exchangers
• Careful monitoring of performance should be carried out to determine optimum
cleaning cycles & Implement regular leak survey
• Good house keeping
• Doors and windows should be kept closed as much as possible during the heating
season(cold outside).
• When natural light is sufficient, do not use artificial light.
• Avoid excessive ventilation during the heating season.
• Appropriate clothing (based on weather)
Short term continues…..
• While using steam:
• Major steam leaks should be repaired as soon as possible
• Steam requirement should be optimized and carefully controlled.
• While using electrical power
• Utilize natural systems( natural air cooling, gravity, natural light) and reduce use
of electricity.
• Use off-peak electricity
 Medium term energy conservation schemes
• Significant savings in energy consumption and pay-back period of less than two years
• Insulation:
• Improve insulation to prevent energy leaking.
• Use insulation of critical radius whenever needed.
• In Heating systems:
• Improve the time and temperature control of the heating systems
• Fix leakages
• Replacing air compressors
• Instrumentation:
• Adequate instrumentation(thermometer, energy meter, psychrometer etc) should
be used to measure and control energy conservation
• Process modification:
• Many of these schemes will depend on the nature of the industry concerned, eg:
• Steam condensate, if uncontaminated, may be used as boiler feed water
• Use waste heat recovery systems
• Considerable electrical power savings may be made by adjusting the electrical
power factor correction
 Long term energy conservation schemes
• Significant amount of capital is used for energy conservation (high capital cost)
• Full financial evaluation is needed
• Heater modification (innovative designs are used)
• Improved insulation (smart materials with improved properties are used)
• Heat recovery (install heat recovery systems)
• Install systems to extract renewable energy resources( solar panel, solar water heater,
wind mill etc.)

• Note:(include your contributions in various areas)

 ENERGY SAVING TIPS:
There are some relatively simple techniques that can reduce your company’s energy
consumption, lower costs, and advance your conservation goals
• LIGHTING
• Replace incandescent lighting with compact fluorescent lighting indoors and
outdoors. CFL is almost four times as efficient as incandescent bulbs and lasts
about 12 times longer
• For outdoor lights, use a timer or photocell so they turn off automatically during the
daylight hours.
• For indoor lights, adjust lighting levels to your needs with three-way lamps, dimmer
switches for overhead lights, and task lighting
• Use 4-foot fluorescent fixtures with T5 or T8 lights with reflective backing on the
fixture and electronic ballasts.
• Take advantage of natural light by placing work areas near windows
• Install occupancy sensors, so lights go off automatically in unoccupied rooms
 ENERGY SAVING TIPS

BOILERS
• All possible attention- should be paid to control excess air by monitoring oxygen level in flue
gas and also by visual inspection of flame color.
• Remove soot deposits when flue gas temperature rises 40°C above the normal. A coating of
3mm thick soot on the heat transfer surface can cause an increase in fuel consumption of
as much as 2.5%.
• Soot blowers can always be maintained in perfect working condition so that their regular and
periodic use does not suffer.
• Recover heat from steam condensate. For every 6°C rise in boiler feed water temperature
through condensate return, there is 1% saving in fuel.
• Improve boiler efficiency. Boilers should be monitored for flue gas losses, radiation losses,
incomplete combustion, blow down losses, excess air etc. Proper control can decrease the
consumption up to 20%.
• Use only treated water in boilers. A scale formation of 1 mm thickness on the
waterside increases fuel consumption by 5-8%.
• Stop steam leakage. Steam leakage from a 3 mm-diameter hole on a pipeline carrying steam
at 7kg/cm2 would waste 32 kl of fuel oil per year amounting to a loss of Rs. 3 lakh.
• Maintain steam pipe insulation. It has been estimated that a bare steam pipe, 150 mm in
diameter and 100m in length, carrying saturated steam at 8kg/cm2 would waste 25 kl of
furnace oil in a year amounting to an annual loss of Rs. 2.5 lakh.
 ENERGY SAVING TIPS

THERMAL ENERGY
• Plug all oil leakage as leakage of one drop of oil per second amounts to a
loss of over 2000 liters/year.
• Filter oil in stages. Impurities in oil affect combustion.
• Incomplete combustion leads to wastage of fuel. Observe the color of
smoke emitted from chimney. Black smoke indicates improper
combustion and fuel wastage. White smoke indicates excess air and
hence loss of heat. Hazy brown smoke indicates proper combustion.
• The maintenance in plant should follow the zero leak philosophy
particularly in the areas of steam and utilities so that loss of energy could
be totally eliminated
 ENERGY SAVING TIPS

HVAC (Heating, ventilation and air conditioning)

• Reduce your facility’s load allowing the existing system to operate less
frequently.
• Implementation of an energy management system can provide great
savings to your HVAC equipment.
• Set zones to turn off exhaust fans when not needed and control the
temperature of spaces at night.
• When purchasing new equipment, select units that are Energy Star
qualified.
• Consider energy recovery ventilation systems to reclaim waste energy
from exhaust and use it to condition the incoming air.
• Combine a dehumidification component to your HVAC system to increase
customer or employee comfort and reduce the need for larger equipment.
 ENERGY SAVING TIPS

REFRIGERATION
• Regular maintenance of refrigeration components such as coils, fans,
seals, etc. will help keep the system running at its designed efficiency level
• Check temperature settings to ensure they are not lower than necessary
• Keep refrigeration systems out of areas that have frequent fluctuations in
temperature - areas in direct sunlight or away from outside doors
• install a variable speed drive to control the level of refrigeration necessary
to keep items cool
• Defrost cycles can be reduced by adding a sensor at the evaporator and by
running defrost at night
• Use air curtain technology to seal in cool air and keep dust or other
contaminants out
BASIC PROCEDURE TO PROMOTE ENERGY CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES
BASIC PROCEDURE OF ENERGY CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES
 Representation of energy consumption
• Several methods of representing energy flows and energy consumptions
are available( graphical or tabular)
• Pie chart
• Energy usage is plotted on a circular chart
where the quantity of a particular type is
represented as a segment of a circle.
• The size of segment being proportional to the
energy consumption using a particular fuel
relative to total fuel usage
• Sankey diagram
• Represents all the primary energy flows into a factory
• Width of the bands are directly proportional to energy production, utilization, and losses
• Eg: The primary energy sources are gas, electricity and oil (for steam generation) and represent
energy inputs at the left hand side of the Sankey diagram

• Quite difficult to construct as measurements must be made for all energy flows (involve
metering and instrumentation)
• Load profile
•  load profile is a graph of the variation in the energy types versus time

• Bar chart, Line chart, histogram can also be used for representing data regarding
energy consumption. (Note: use graphical representations(in answer papers) of
data's(eg: world energy consumption etc..) for better visualization)
• A histogram consists of tabular frequencies, shown as adjacent
rectangles, erected over discrete intervals (bins), with an area equal to the
frequency of the observations in the interval; first introduced by Karl
Pearson.
• A bar chart is a chart with rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the
values that they represent. The bars can be plotted vertically or
horizontally. The first known bar charts are usually attributed to Nicole
Oresme, Joseph Priestley, and William Playfair.
• A line chart is a two-dimensional scatterplot of ordered observations
where the observations are connected following their order. The first
known line charts are usually credited to Francis Hauksbee, Nicolaus
Samuel Cruquius, Johann Heinrich Lambert and William Playfair.
 ENERGY SURVEYING
• The activities of the energy department fall into three main
categories:
1.Surveys and data compilation
2.Information
•Energy department provides advices and information's regarding
energy conservations.
3.Financial benefits
•Financial assistance from government (various subsidy)
• Surveys and data compilation:
• The department of industry are operating two main
schemes,
• The industrial energy thrift scheme(IETS)
• Energy audit scheme(EAS)
 INDUSTRIAL ENERGY THRIFT SCHEME (IETS)
• Promotes the more efficient use of energy in industry through,
• Improvements in process efficiency
• Adoption of good house keeping practices
• Gathers information on ways in which energy can be used more efficiently and builds up a
reserve of information
• Scheme involves a campaign of one-day visits by consultants to firms in
manufacturing industry employing 25 or more people
• The scheme provides an indication of possible energy saving opportunities (to
participating firms) and provides a base for future planning in the field of energy
utilization.
• In this scheme:
• firms are invited to participate by the business statistics office(BSO) Which sends
out an IETS invitation and application form
• Various sectors of industry can be approached systematically and the information
obtained can be readily correlated with other economic and statistical data.
IETS(Industrial energy thrift scheme) Continues…
• A:Energy unit requests BSO(business statistics office) to select firms.
• B:BSO sends invitation to selected firms
• C:Firms returns application form
to energy unit
• D:Energy unit requests research-
association (RA) to arrange visit
• E:RA and/or consultants-
Carry out visit.
• F:RA sends reports on visit to-
firm and energy unit
IETS Continues…
• Firm wishing to participate returns the application form to energy unit
providing information on the number of employees and the nature of its
main products.
• The visit by a consultant usually takes the form of a short discussion with
senior management, a tour of the site, and then a closer examination of the
areas needing detailed attention.
• Collected information may include
• Fuel and energy use
• Output
• Steps taken to implement energy saving measures
• Ways in which energy is wasted
• Remedies which can or have been used
• Ways in which energy and cost savings might be achieved
• A confidential report on the visit is prepared and sent to the firm and the
information will not be disclosed without permission
ENERGY AUDIT
SCHEME(EAS)
 What is an Energy Audit ?
• Energy audit is the first step toward systematic efforts for conservation of
energy. It involves collection and analysis of energy related data on regular
basis and in a methodological manner.
 ENERGY AUDIT SCHEME(EAS):

• Scheme provides for more detailed investigations of energy analysis or energy

auditing
• Visits to companies lasting up to two weeks
• Prime objective is to quantify energy flows associated with various systems
• Systems include, most energy intensive parts of industrial, commercial, energy
producing, and transport activities of industrial societies
• The Energy Audit provides the vital information base for overall energy
conservation program covering essentially energy utilization analysis and
evaluation of energy conservation measures.
• The initial objectives of the EAS are:
• To obtain information on the energy content of major industrial products.
• To determine where the most significant energy savings are possible.
• To assist government in making recommendations in the field of energy
conservation.
• To enable government to establish R&D(research and development)
programmes on energy conservation.
EAS aims at :-
• Identifying the quality and cost of various energy inputs.
• Assessing present pattern of energy consumption in different cost centers of
operations.
• Relating energy inputs and production output.
• Identifying potential areas of thermal and electrical energy economy.
• Highlighting wastage’s in major areas.
• Fixing of energy saving potential targets for individual cost centers.
• Implementation of measures for energy conservation & realization of savings.
 The Role of an Energy Audit
An energy audit identifies:
• which areas in your establishment unnecessarily consume too much energy
• where energy is being consumed
• assesses energy saving opportunities
• which is the most cost-effective to improve(saves money)
In the factory, doing an energy audit increases awareness of energy issues
among plant personnel.
An energy audit in effect estimates the energy efficiency of your plant against
“best practices”.
When used as a “baseline” for tracking yearly progress against targets, an
energy audit becomes the best first step towards saving money in the
production plant.
Stages of Energy Audit
Inputs and Outputs of Energy audit
There are three categories of energy audit:
• Walk-through energy audit
• Preliminary or basic energy audit
• Detailed energy audit
 Walk through energy audit:

• The normal time to complete this audit is two days.
• It is the least expensive audit.
• It establishes whether there is a major energy losses
or benefits are expected from an energy
management program.
• Identify the most likely and the easiest areas for
attention
•Identify immediate (especially no-/low-cost)
improvements/ savings

 ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS STANDARD INTRODUCTION
• ISO 50001- the International Standard for Energy Management Systems
(EnMS)
• This Draft International Standard was released in April 2010 and was
published in mid-2011.
• Energy Management Systems offers a comprehensive and structured
approach for energy efficiency improvement.
• ISO 50001: 2011(E) defines EnMS as “set of interrelated or interacting
elements to establish an energy policy and energy objectives, and
processes and procedures to achieve those objectives”
• Applicable to any organization, whatever the size, industry or geographical
location
• An organization embracing ISO 50001 is likely to further accelerate
adoption of energy efficiency practices and to continuously improve its
energy performance and cost.
Cont....
• Application of the standard can be tailored to fit the requirements of the
organization, including degree of documentation, resources and
complexity of the system
• This International Standard can be used for certification/registration and/
or self-declaration of a n organization's energy management system.
• The fact that it's based on measurement and verification will help
organization stay on track to meet their declared energy policies.
• Adoption of ISO 50001 by any organization will:
• Reduce energy bills • Make manufacturing more sustainable
• Promotes energy efficiency throughout the supply chain
• Helps in meeting National GHG reduction targets
 ISO 50001-EnMS Requirement
• ISO 50001 specifies requirements for an organization to establish,
implement, maintain and improve an energy management system.
• Specifies energy management system (EnMS) to :
• develop and implement an energy policy,
• establish objectives, targets, and action plans which take into account
legal requirements
• This International Standard specifies requirements for all factors affecting:
• Energy supply, uses and consumption
• Measurement, documentation and reporting,
• Design and procurement practices for energy using equipment,
processes, systems, and personnel.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MODEL FOR ISO 50001
 EMIS
• Energy Management Information System (EMIS)
• Provides relevant information that makes energy performance visible to various
levels of an organization.
• Enabling individuals and departments to plan, make decisions and take effective
action to manage energy.
• It can lead to productivity improvements through the continuous monitoring of
energy performance, and savings opportunities that, once implemented, are
sustained over the long term.
• The performance information generated by an EMIS enables organizations to take
actions that create financial value through the management and control of energy
• An energy management information system (EMIS) combines software,
hardware, and data to support people in their efforts to manage energy at
the process, system, facility, and enterprise level-year after year.
• What is an EMIS?
• An EMIS provides relevant information that makes energy performance visible so that key individuals and
departments within a business can take effective action to create financial value for the organization. In
practice, this means that an EMIS should:
• Gather information on energy consumption
• Gather information on the useful outputs derived from the consumption of energy (e.g., production,
heating, lighting)
• Gather information on any other factors that may influence energy consumption (e.g., environmental
factors such as ambient temperature and relative humidity, or operational factors such as building
occupancy, packaging sizes)
• Contain analysis routines to allow for a comparison between energy consumption and utility drivers;
• Build and display energy performance reports

• With effective management systems in place, these performance reports can:

• Act as a stimulus for investigation and identification of the root causes of both good and poor
performance;
• Promote operational best practices by eliminating the root causes of poor performance and
promoting activities that lead to good performance
• Provide the justification for energy saving projects by making visible the costs of current energy
performance and providing a baseline against which savings projects can be compared; and
• Demonstrate the success or benefits of projects that have been implemented
EMIS cont..

Elements of an EMIS
Phases of EMIS development and Implementation
• EMIS:
• Collects
• Data via utility meters and onsite sub-meters, through data collection hardware, existing system
integrations, and manual input.
• Analyzes
• Data types including interval, utility bill, weather, production, schedule, event, activity and project
data, and program documentation.
