The document discusses energy management in power industries. It defines energy management and its objectives as the judicious use of energy to maximize profits and competitiveness while minimizing costs and environmental impacts. The key aspects covered include ISO 50001 energy management systems, management functions, conducting energy audits and reviews of systems like boilers. It emphasizes establishing an energy baseline, setting targets and objectives, measuring and reviewing performance, and continually improving energy efficiency.
2. Definition & Objectives

• Management :- In all business and organizational
activities is the act of coordinating the efforts of
people to accomplish desired goals and objectives
using available resources efficiently and effectively.
Management comprises-
• Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Leading or
directing, and controlling an organization for the
purpose of accomplishing a goal.
• Resourcing :- deployment of human
resources, financial resources,
• technological resources, and
• natural resources.
4. Management Functions
• Management functions are Universal.
• They are applicable everywhere.
• Originated from the Army.
• Forecasting
• Planning
• Organizing (Staffing)
• Commanding
• Coordinating
• Controlling

5. ISO 50001 – En.M.S.
• Using energy efficiently --
• Helps organizations to save money.
• Helps to conserve resources and
• Helps to tackle climate change.
• ISO 50001 supports organizations in all sectors
to use energy more efficiently,
• through the development of an energy
management system (EnMS).

6. ISO 50001 - Energy management
• ISO 50001 is based on the management
system model of continual improvement.
• Which is also used for other well-known
standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001.
• This makes it easier for organizations to
integrate energy management into their
overall efforts-
• To improve quality and environmental
management.
6
7. ISO 50001:2011 provides
• A framework of requirements for
organizations to:
• Develop a policy for more efficient use of
energy
• Fix targets and objectives to meet the policy
• Use data to better understand and make
decisions about energy use
• Measure the results
• Review how well the policy works, and
• Continually improve energy management.
7
8. Purpose
• The purpose of this ISO is to enable organizations-
• To establish the systems and processes necessary to improve
energy performance,
• Including energy efficiency, use and consumption.
• Implementation of this International Standard is intended to lead
to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions
• and reduce other related environmental impacts and
• reduce energy cost through systematic management of energy.
• This ISO is applicable to all types and sizes of
organizations, irrespective of geographical, cultural or social
conditions.
• Successful implementation depends on commitment from all
levels and functions of the organization,
• and especially from top management.

9. PDCA – Plan – Do - Check - Act
• This ISO is based on the PDCA continual improvement
framework and incorporates energy management into everyday
organizational practices, as illustrated in Figure.
• For energy management, the PDCA approach can be outlined as
follows:
• — Plan: conduct the energy review and establish the
baseline, energy performance indicators
(EnPIs), objectives, targets and action plans necessary to deliver
results that will improve energy performance in accordance with
the organization's energy policy;
• — Do: implement the energy management action plans;
• — Check: monitor and measure processes and the key
characteristics of operations that determine energy performance
against the energy policy and objectives, and report the results;
• — Act: take actions to continually improve energy performance9

35. SOME CRITICAL FACTORS AFFECTING BOILER
PERFORMANCE
• -Fuel;-Heating Value, Moisture Contents, Ash
Composition, Ash Contents,& Volatile Matter.
• -Operational Parameter:-Level of Excess Air, &
operating Condition of Burner Tilt Mechanism.
• -Design:-Heating input per plan area, Height of
Boiler, Platens & pendants heat transfer Surfaces, Burner &
wind Box design.
36. Coal Quality IMPACTS
• -Low heat value fuel results in over firing of fuel causing more heat
availability for super heater and re-heater thus more attempration spray
requirement. Hence increase in THR, overloading of ash handling
system, fans and increased soot blowing
• -Moisture content increase causes increase in heat transfer to S.H, and R.H.
Hence again increase in attempration spray and THR.
• -Ash composition and contents increases damage to pressure parts surfaces
because of melting behavior of low fusion ash temperature of blended coal
in particular.
• -In consistency in fired fuel characteristics results in variation in excess air
requirement thereby increasing stack loss and hence boiler efficiency
reduction, overloading of ID Fan and ultimately unit load limitation.
• -High heat value causes more radiant heat transfer to water walls thereby
leaving lesser heat for super heater and re-heater.So above problems are
minimised.
37. IMPACTS contd…
-Normally excess air ranges from 15% to 30% of
stoichiometric air.
• -High O2 % and presence of CO at ID Fan outlet are
indicator of air in leakages and improper combustion
in furnace.
• -Poorly effective damper control also is the cause of
higher SEC of fans both primary and secondary.
• -The quality and purity of feed water and make up
water is also required to be maintained in a
meticulous way by limiting blow down losses to
nearly 1% and by checking the passing and leakages
of valves. However, maximum 3% of flow can be
taken as make up for these causes including soot
blowing requirements.
• -Soot blowing is dependent on ash contents and is
unit specific. Intelligently devised soot blowing can
result in saving the fuel. Continued………
38. IMPACTS contd…
• -Cascading effects on efficiency, loading and
availability because of following systems and
equipments performance also needed to be
looked into. The systems are:-
Fuel receiving, preparation and handling systems.
Pulverizing system
Air Heater
Fans
Electrostatic Precipitator
Fly ash handling system
Bottom ash handling system

Operating efficiency of the boiler:
The test method employed is based on the abbreviated efficiency by the
loss method (or indirect method) test, which neglects the minor losses
and heat credits, which are covered in full text version. The major losses
covered are:
Heat loss due to dry flue gas losses
Heat loss due to moisture in fuel
Heat loss due to hydrogen (moisture of burning hydrogen)
Heat loss due to combustibles in refuse
Heat loss due to radiation
Un accounted losses as per the contract with the Boiler Supplier
Indirect method is also called as heat loss method. The efficiency can be
arrived at, by subtracting the heat loss fractions from 100. The standards do
not include blow-down loss in the efficiency determination process

leakage is estimated by

Gas side efficiency: The gas side efficiency is defined as the ratio of the
temperature drop, corrected for leakage, to the temperature head and
expressed as percentage.
Temperature drop is obtained by subtracting the corrected gas outlet
temperature from the inlet. Temperature head is obtained by subtracting air
inlet temperature from gas inlet temperature.
