2. AUDIT
"the verification, monitoring and analysis of use of
energy including submission of technical report
containing recommendations for improving energy
efficiency with cost benefit analysis and an action
plan to reduce energy consumption"
3. TYPE OF AUDIT
The type of Energy Audit to be performed depends
on:
- Function and type of industry
- Depth to which final audit is needed, and
- Potential and magnitude of cost reduction desired
Thus Energy Audit can be classified into the
following two types.
i) Preliminary Audit ii) Detailed Audit
4. NEED FOR AUDIT
to minimize costs for energy
to minimize operational costs
to minimize costs for repairs and reconstruction
increase quality of environment that contributes to
increased work productivity
5. PRELIMINARY AUDIT
Preliminary energy audit is relatively quick exercise
to:-
1. Establish energy consumption in organization
2. Estimate scope of saving
3. Identify the easiest areas of attention
4. Identify immediate improvement/savings
5. Set a reference point
6. Identify areas for more detailed study
7. It uses existing or easily obtained data
6. DETAILED ENERGY AUDIT
Detailed energy audit evaluates all systems and equipments
which consume energy and the audit comprises a detailed
study on energy savings and costs.
7. DETAILED AUDIT IS CARRIED OUT IN 3 PHASE
1. Pre audit phase
2. The audit phase
3. The post audit phase
8. PRE AUDIT PHASE
Step1-plan and organize
1. Walk through audit
2. informal interview with energy manager
Step2-conduct brief meeting
1. Building cooperation
2. Issue questionnaire
9. AUDIT PHASE
Step1-primary data gathering ,pfc,energy utility
diagram
1. Historic data
2. Process flow charts
3. Design operating data schedule
4. Annual energy bill
Step2-conduct survey monitoring
1. Motor ,lighting ,insulation survey with portable
instruments
Step3-conduct detailed trials
1. 24 hr power monitoring
10. Step4-analysis of energy use
Step5-identification and development of energy
conservation opportunities
Step6-cost benefit analysis
Step7-reporting and presentation
11. POST AUDIT PHASE
Step1-implementation and follow-up
1. Assist and implement energy conservation
recommendation measures and monitor the
performance
12. BENCHMARKING
It can be a useful tool for understanding energy
consumption patterns in the industrial sector and
also to take requisite measures for improving
energy efficiency.
Factors involved
1. Scale of operation
2. Vintage of technology
3. Raw material specification and quality
4. Product specification and quality
13. BENCHMARKING FOR ENERGY PERFORMANCE
Internal benchmarking
Historical and trend analysis
External benchmarking
Across familiar industries
14. BENCHMARKING ENERGY PERFORMANCE
Quantification of fixed and variable energy
consumption trends
Comparison of industry energy performance w.r.t
various production levels
identification of best practices
Scope and margin available for energy
consumption and cost reduction
Basis for monitoring and target setting exercises
