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
Benefits of Energy Conservation
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
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
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.
