Assignment 1 Eng

This document contains an assignment response from a student named Dakshit Chopra. The response defines energy management as adjusting systems and procedures to reduce energy requirements per unit of output while holding costs constant or reducing costs. The objectives of energy management are outlined as minimizing energy costs/waste without affecting production/quality and minimizing environmental effects. Energy audit is defined as a systematic approach to balance total energy inputs with usage, quantify functions, and identify conservation opportunities. The roles of an energy manager are provided, which include preparing activity plans, establishing an energy conservation cell, analyzing equipment performance, and developing training programs to improve energy efficiency.

ENERGY CONSERVATION (18EEO306T)


ASSIGNMENT -1

1. Define Energy Management? Write down the Objectives of Energy


Management.
ANS: "The strategy of adjusting and optimizing energy, using systems and procedures so as
to reduce energy requirements per unit of output while holding constant or reducing total
costs of producing the output from these systems" The objective of Energy Management is
to achieve and maintain optimum energy procurement and utilisation, throughout the
organization and:

• To minimise energy costs / waste without affecting production & quality


• To minimise environmental effects.

2. What is Energy Audit? Explain the concept of Energy Audit in detail.


ANS:

Energy Audit is the key to a systematic approach for decision-making in the area of energy
management. It attempts to balance the total energy inputs with its use, and serves to
identify all the energy streams in a facility. It quantifies energy usage according to its
discrete functions. Industrial energy audit is an effective tool in defining and pursuing
comprehensive energy management programme.
Energy Management and Audit Bureau of Energy Efficiency 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".
Need for Energy Audit
In any industry, the three top operating expenses are often found to be energy (both
electrical and thermal), labour and materials. If one were to relate to the manageability of
the cost or potential cost savings in each of the above components, energy would invariably
emerge as a top ranker, and thus energy management function constitutes a strategic area
for cost reduction. Energy Audit will help to understand more about the ways energy and
fuel are used in any industry, and help in identifying the areas where waste can occur and
where scope for improvement exists.
The Energy Audit would give a positive orientation to the energy cost reduction, preventive
maintenance and quality control programmes which are vital for production and utility
activities. Such an audit programme will help to keep focus on variations which occur in the
energy costs, availability and reliability of supply of energy, decide on appropriate energy
mix, identify energy conservation technologies, retrofit for energy conservation equipment
etc. In general, Energy Audit is the translation of conservation ideas into realities, by lending
technically feasible solutions with economic and other organizational considerations within
a specified time frame.
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

3. What are the various roles of Energy Managers?


ANS:

1. Prepare an annual activity plan and present to management concerning financially


attractive investments to reduce energy costs.
2. Establish an energy conservation cell within the firm with management’s consent about
the mandate and task of the cell.
3. Initiate activities to improve monitoring and process control to reduce energy costs.

4. Analyze equipment performance with respect to energy efficiency.


5. Ensure proper functioning and calibration of instrumentation required to assess level of
energy consumption directly or indirectly.
6. Prepare information material and conduct internal workshops about the topic for other
staff.
7. Improve disaggregating of energy consumption data down to shop level or profit center
of a firm.
S8. Establish a methodology how to accurately calculate the specific energy consumption of
various products/services or activity of the firm.
9. Develop and manage training program for energy efficiency at operating levels.
10. Co-ordinate nomination of management personnel to external programs.
11. Create knowledge bank on sectoral, national and international development on energy
efficiency technology and management system and information denomination.
12. Develop integrated system of energy efficiency and environmental up-gradation.
13. Wide internal & external networking.

14. Co-ordinate implementation of energy audit/efficiency improvement projects through


external agencies.
15. Establish and/or participate in information exchange with other energy managers of the
same sector through association.
