 Energy conservation

 General Principle
When we don’t need electrical energy, turn it off.

 Modified Principle
In addition to general principle, we have to minimize losses
or use energy efficiently
Energy Conservation in India

 Energy conservation Act 2001

 BEE

 The energy demand-supply gap

It is expected to reach 100000 MW by the year 2012.
Thus frequent power failure in the future.
 Indian Energy Scenario

 Installed capacity nearly 110000MW

 36% of installed capacity wasted now

 70% of the population lives in villages

 70% of power consumption are in cities

 70000 villages have no electric poles

Why energy conservation in Industries

 Complicated energy tariff

 Industries consumes 30% of total capacity

 Migration from the grid

 80000MW EC potential available

EC potential area in Industries

 Induction motor drives

- pump and fan drives
- partial loaded Induction motor

 Power factor improvement

- thyristor switched APFC

 Lighting load
- High frequency electronic ballast
Induction motor Drives:
● Variable speed drives for pumps and fans
● Voltage control for partial loaded Induction motor.

Variable speed drives:

● Pump drive have applications in several industries such
as chemical plants, photo-chemical plants, refineries,
boilers, etc,
Earlier:
● The fluid flow was obtained by adjustment of opening of
valves (by throttling) — Inefficient.

When openings of the valves are reduced

● Friction component increased (pressure increases)
● new operating point Q.
Earlier cont….

Power consumption by the pump:

● Product of the head and fluid flow
● In earlier case, the above parameters are cancelled to
each other.
● No energy conservation using throttling valve.

Using variable speed drives:

● Valve opening kept at maximum (P is same)

● Water flow is depends on pump speed
● Pressure is somewhat reduced when pump speed is reduced (new
operating point Q’)
● Head and fluid flow reduced
● Power consumption α head and fluid flow
● Energy conservation at low speed
● These drives have ratings in MW range. Large amount of energy
can be saved.
Energy Efficient operation of Induction motor drives at partial load

● In many applications, induction motor operates under no load (or) lightly

loaded for prolonged periods.

Example: pressing machine, conveyers, rock crushers, drill

presses, wood saw, mixer drive in biscuit industry.

Results: Low efficiency and low power factor.

 Table: Motor efficiency and power factor at
different loads in percent (4 pole m/c)

10.0 7.5 85 84 81 .85 .77 .64

75.0 55.0 92 92 91 .85 .81 .69

100 75.0 92 92 91 .91 .89 .86

● Reduced voltage operation in such cases helps improvement in both efficiency

and power factor.
Partial Load cont……..

● Maximum efficiency of Induction motor only at core loss =

copper loss.

● At no load, core loss has large value, efficiency reduced.

● Reduction in voltage, increase the copper loss but reduces core

losses by a large amount.

● At some voltage, core loss = copper loss; maximum efficiency.

● For each loading, there is an optimum value of voltage for loss

minimization.

● From no load and blocked rotor test, we can find core loss and
copper loss.

 Power factor

Consider a stein of beer,

Power factor= beer/ mug capacity
Foam referred as Reactive power
 Benefit of power factor improvement

 Reduce energy losses in conductors

 Reduce KVA demand needed
 Reduction in size of the conductor,protecting devices.

For example: A 1000 KW load,480 V of industrial load,

Current in 80% power factor = 1505 A

Current in 95% power factor = 1267.6 A
Thyristor switched APFC

● By fixed compensation
- not able to achieve desired power factor.
-Leading power factor under certain load conditions.
( Un healthy for the installation)

● Some loads (welding equipment, injection molding equipment,

starting of large induction motor) require large amount of
reactive power for very short duration of time.(contactor
control not suited)

● Thyristor switched ADFC have a response time in

milliseconds.
