Energy Conservation
Energy conservation is a movement gathering considerable support all over the world and many countries have made it mandatory to conduct energy audits and encourage consumers to implement energy conservation measures.

Facts that would motivate us to be serious above energy conservation

  • Major resources that produce energy are fast diminishing.
  • Major resources that produce energy are not sustainable.
  • Major processes that produce energy using conventional resources have poor efficiency and produce harmful bi-products that pollute environment and may pose serious threat to life on earth in the future.

Benefits of Energy Conservation

  • Reduction in energy consumption results in direct addition in profits.
  • Reduction in energy consumption would make the energy resources last longer.
  • Reduction in energy consumption lowers levels of pollutants and reduces environmental impact.
  • Reduction in energy consumption reduces stress on process equipments and extends service life.

Energy Integra limits its services to conservation of electrical energy and extends it to a few applications such as HVAC, Compressed Air, Pumped Systems & Water Conservation.

Energy conservation is a step-by-step process that is followed in the sequence of

  • Energy Audit
  • Formulation of energy conservation program
  • Implementation
  • Benchmarking & Monitoring
  • Achievement of objectives

Energy Audit
It's the first step to establish energy consumption patterns and identify areas that consume excessive energy.

Preliminary energy audit is conducted to form basis for a detailed audit. Preliminary audit is helpful in gathering the basic data; the energy bills, the installation details, the equipment list and general information on the process.
The report comprises mostly of passive data about the consumption and process efficiency and is much left to the personal judgment of the individual who conducted the activity.

Not so with the detailed audit, which puts dynamics into the activity. Detailed audit comprises of exhaustive field studies and measurements covering practically every equipment installed.
Energy balance is estimated that equates energy input to process output. Opportunities in reduction of energy consumption are identified and represented in mathematical expressions.

Detailed audit report identifies energy efficiency of various systems and suggest means to improve the same. The means are classified into low-investment, medium investment and high investment. Means with low investment are immediately taken up for implementation.

Energy conservation is a continuous activity. Energy Integra offers various services that also include awareness program, training, formation of team at consumer for energy monitoring, etc.

Dedicated products for energy conservation

Energy audit may identify systems that offer good potential for saving to the order of 8 to 10 % or even better; but do not allow modification or replacement.

Such applications could be provided with aid of dedicated & unique products that, when installed along with existing equipments, control the operating conditions of the equipment to reduce the consumption. It is understood that any electrical equipment would operate at reduced consumption levels at two conditions : either the voltage to the equipment is reduced or the operating time is reduced without compromising on performance.

Typical applications that include variable loading could benefit from these products

  • Motor driven systems such as elevators, escalators, compressors, blowers, pumps.
  • Automated machinery such as injection moulding, blow moulding, press & punch operations.
  • Mixed lighting comprising of GS, TL, CFL, PIL, HPMV, LPSV, etc.

Energy Integra offers integrated solutions that cover field surveys, calculation of energy consumption and saving potential, payback, product sourcing, post installation monitoring and continued support.

Intelligent Energy Monitoring

We could control what we could measure.
Accurate measurement & real time recording of electrical parameters is vital to success of every energy conservation program. It is essential that every unit consumed is logged and accounted for. Intelligent energy monitoring is an effective tool that supports an electrical power distribution network 24x7 and records power parameters at strategic locations. Low cost instruments are now available that could be networked and provided with communication and data processing software. Comprehensive data base could be created that comprises of energy trends,

Tariff review

With ever increasing cost of electricity, it pays to remain update on changing tariff structures and take measures to achieve optimum benefits from utility. Max demand control, tally of energy units, improving load factor, close control of PF to unity, ToD benefits are dedicated tasks that payoff and allow easy reduction in monthly bills.
