EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This energy audit was carried out the report containing recommendations for improving energy efficiency with cost benefit analysis by certified energy auditor (Bureau of energy efficiency, Ministry of Power) during sept-12. The energy audit study as summarized below: A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H.
Electrical parameters Power quality study Harmonics DG Furnace Compressor Cooling Tower Lighting
1. This contract demand is never exceed 1654 kVA with earlier period. Therefore, it’s recommended that the Contract Demand be reduced from existing 1990 kVA to 1690 kVA. This will reduce the monthly bill Rs. 36,000 per month. This will lead to saving of Rs. 4.32 Lakhs per annum. 2. Average power factor of the plant is 0.98. Management has been doing a great job by maintaining power factor in the range of 0.98-0.995. Presently for the last 3-4 months, it’s close to 1. 3. Measurements of various Electrical parameters including Harmonics by Power Analyzer indicate that the quality of Power is good, but for STB 2 current harmonies is exceeding the allowable 12% THD limit. By installing APFC system along with filters, the harmonics will get suppressed. This is required for the protection of sophisticated Electronic equipment. 4. Performance study of 5 DG sets shows that the Specific fuel consumption varies from 3.11 to 4.16 kWh/litre of HSD. The Average SEC of all DG set is 3.75 kWh/litre of HSD and the Cost of generation works out Rs. 14.70 to Rs. 16.25/kWh. The specific fuel consumption of efficient DG set is 4.5 – 5 kWh/litre of HSD. Use of best operating practices can increase the performance of DG sets.
5. Performance of coil-2 furnace is better than coil-1 furnace due to waste heat utilization system. But coil-1 performance is deprived due to any recovery of heat from waste gases. Performance of the furnace must be improved via utilization of waste heat recovery, heat loss through radiation and convection loss.

6. Performance of both tempering furnaces is underprivileged, due to more furnace area & insulation failure. So it’s strongly recommended to properly insulate the tempering furnace. It will lead to a saving of 13.24 Lakhs/annum for coil-1 & 11.54 Lakhs/annum for coil-2. 7. It’s strongly recommended to install air –pre heater for coil-1 heating furnace, this will lead a saving of 4.8 Lakhs/annually. 8. Performance study of compressor shows that the present capacity is different from the design capacity. Capacity shortfall is 40 % with respect to design capacity. Which indicates compressor performance needs to be investigated further. 9. It’s strongly recommended to stop the leakage of the entire compressed air system. A thermal image shows that internal leakage of the compressors (3& 5). This will lead to a saving of 0.88 Lakhs/annum. 10. In cooling towers, Inlet water flow nozzle is not functioning, its result having reduced the volume with high power consumption. So check the flow nozzles and rectify the problems. 11. The power consumption in cooling towers is effected by the CT fan blade angle. A higher CT fan blade angle results in higher power consumption during winter and rainy seasons. A reduction in the blade angle of the cooling tower fan from 50 to 45 degree resulted in reduction of power consumption by about 20% and rationalized air flow. 12. The plant is using 40 Watt T/L with conventional electromagnetic choke. These can be replaced by LED -19 w. This will save up to 6.23 Lakhs/annum with a payback period of 2 years. OR management can replace T-12 lights with the T-5 lights. This will save up to 4.53 Lakhs/annum with a payback period of 0.7 years. 13. With the help of solar light pipes we can reduce the electricity consumption in day time. This will lead to a saving of 13.92 Lakhs/annum with a payback period of 01.2 years. Solar light pipes are maintenance free, and having a life span of 15-25 years.
14. It’s strongly recommended to place the AHU inlet units on a clean surface (preferably plastered and raised platform) to avoid the infiltration effects. For better results the units may be placed in well covered and shaded areas.

1. Contract demand of the plant is 1990 kVA, and the average maximum demand of the plant is 1366 kVA. The contract demand is never exceed 1654 kVA in the earlier. 2. It is recommended that the Contract Demand be reduced from existing 1990 kVA to 1690 kVA. This will reduce the monthly bill by Rs. 36,000per month. This will lead to saving of Rs. 4.32 Lakhs per annum. Savings = (1990– 1690) x 120 x 12 = Rs. 4, 32,000/3. Average power factor of the plant is 0.98. Management has been doing a great job by maintaining power factor in the range of 0.98-0.995.Presently for the last 3-4 months, it’s close to 1. 4. A comprehensive register or computerized file should be maintained to monitor the energy bill parameters on monthly basis. It is also advised to note the readings of energy meter twice on daily basis as per the format below:TABLE 5.G:- SAMPLE FOR CAPACITOR BANK READINGS S.N. Date Voltage

CHAPTER 6 HARMONICS & POWER SUPPLY QUALITY

HARMONICS & POWER SUPPLY QUALITY
6.1 GENERAL DETAILS:
The majority of loads connected to the electricity supply system draw power which is a linear (or near linear) function of the voltage and current supplied to it. These Loads do not usually cause disturbance to other users of the supply system. Examples include lighting, heating, directly driven motors, pumps etc. Some types of loads cause a distortion of the supply voltage / current waveform due to their non-linear impedance. The most common devices causing such problems are electronic controllers (such as motor drives) and AC to DC power supply convertors for equipment such as computers. The nature of these devices is that the waveform is switched or chopped (Commutated) very rapidly in order to control power flow or to convert to a DC output, typically using solid state components such as diodes and thyristor. Some types of florescent lighting or the controllers for such lighting can also cause these effects. Problems occur when such activity causes interference or permanent damage to equipment that is connected adjacent to the disturbing load (Within the same building or in nearby premises). The measurement of such interferences has been established by the parameter known as harmonic current/voltage. This is simply a measure of the extent of distortion of the normal AC sinusoidal voltage/current supplied by the power system, caused by the disturbing load. The distortion may be exhibited by a change in the sinusoid shape or by short notches in the waveform. The method of measurement is based on disaggregating the distorted waveform into a normal 50Hz waveform plus smaller, superimposed waveforms taken at integer multiples (or sub-multiples) of the fundamental frequency. The total harmonic distortion is expressed as the sum of the harmonic waveforms (rms values) operating at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. multiples of the fundamental frequency. In addition to the operation on the sinusoidal supplies, the harmonic behavior becomes important as the size and rating of the transformer increases.
26

Disadvantages of Harmonics:
Failed capacitor banks
Breakers and fuses tripping
Increased Hysteresis losses
Erroneous register of electric meters
Distorted voltage and current waveforms
Wasted energy/higher electric bills-kVA & kVAh
Wasted capacity – Inefficient distribution of power
Increased maintenance of equipment and machinery
Unreliable operation of electronic equipment, and generators
Overheating of transformers (K -Factor), and rotating equipment
Neutral overloading / unacceptable neutral - to-ground voltages

6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS:-
It has been observed that plant is working within the permissible limits of THD. This plant can also consider following points for future reference for maintaining the THD in the prescribed limit : Tuned Harmonic filters consisting of a capacitor bank and reactor in series are designed and adopted for suppressing harmonics, by providing low impedance path for harmonic component. The Harmonic filters connected suitably near the equipment generating harmonics help in Reducing THD to acceptable limits. In present Indian context where no Electro Magnetic Compatibility regulations exist as a application of Harmonic filters is very relevant for industries having diesel power generation sets and co-generation units. Take care with equipment selection and isolate sensitive electronics from noisy circuits.

8.1 BRIEF DESCRIPTION Furnace should be designed so that in a given time, as much of material as possible can be heated to a uniform temperature as possible with the least possible fuel and labor. To achieve this end, the following parameters can be considered.
Determination of the quantity of heat to be imparted to the material or charge.
Liberation of sufficient heat within the furnace to heat the stock and overcome all heat Losses.
Transfer of available part of that heat from the furnace gases to the surface of the heating
Equalization of the temperature within the stock.
Reduction of heat losses from the furnace to the minimum possible extent
It’s divided into two sections. - Each section has 3 types of furnaces (heating, tempering & hardening) with automatic charging & discharging of material. Fuel used for furnace is HSD & LPG. Furnace specifications are as follows:TABLE 8.A:- FURNACE DETAILS

8.4 CALCULATIONS:A. HEAT LOSS CALCUALTION:About 30–40% of the fuel input to the furnace generally goes to make up for heat losses in Intermittent or continuous furnaces. The appropriate choice of refractory and insulation materials goes a long way in achieving fairly high fuel savings in industrial furnaces. The heat losses from furnace walls affect the fuel economy considerably. The extent of wall Losses depend on: Emissivity of wall Thermal conductivity of refractory’s Wall thickness Whether furnace is operated continuously or intermittently
Heat losses can be reduced by increasing the wall thickness, or through the application of Insulate bricks. Outside wall temperatures and heat losses of a composite wall of a certain thickness of firebrick and insulation brick are much lower, due to lesser conductivity of insulating brick as compared to a refractory brick of similar thickness. In the actual operation in most of the small furnaces the operating periods alternate with the idle periods. During the off period, the heat stored in the refractory during the on period is gradually dissipated, mainly through radiation and convection from the cold face.

8.5 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Performance of Section-2 furnace is better due to waste heat utilization system. But Section-1 performance is not good due to any recovery of heat from waste gases. Performance of the furnace must be improved via utilization of heat loss through radiation and convection loss. 2. Performance of both tempering furnaces is very poor, due to more furnace area & insulation failure. So it’s strongly recommended to properly insulate the tempering furnace. It will lead to a saving of 13.24 Lakhs/annum for coil-1 & 11.54 Lakhs/annum for coil-2. 3. Its strongly recommended to install air –pre heater for coil-1 heating furnace, this will lead a saving of 5.1 Lakhs/annually. 4. Moreover, Typical energy efficiency measures for an industry with furnace are:
Complete combustion with minimum excess air Correct heat distribution Operating at the desired temperature Reducing heat losses from furnace openings Maintaining correct amount of furnace draught Optimum capacity utilization Waste heat recovery from the flue gases Minimum refractory losses Use of Ceramic Coatings

COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM
9.1 COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM The compressed air system is not only an energy intensive utility but also one of the least energy efficient. Company Plant has six compressors. During normal operation four compressors are operated. 9.2 MEASUREMENT OF FREE AIR DELIVERY (FAD) OF THE COMPRESSOR BY PUMP UP METHOD The Free Air Delivery of the compressor is done by Pump up Method - also known as receiver filling method. The capacity of a compressor is the full rated volume of flow of gas compressed and delivered under conditions of total temperature, total pressure, and composition prevailing at the compressor inlet. It sometimes means actual flow rate, rather than rated volume of flow. This is also called free air delivery (FAD). Due to the inefficient operation of the compressor or faulty components, delivery of the free air is less than the designed value. Sometimes, other factors such as poor maintenance, fouled heat exchanger and effects of altitude also tend to reduce free air delivery. In order to meet the air demand, the inefficient compressor may have to run for more time, thus consuming more power than actually required. The power wastage depends on the percentage deviation of FAD capacity. During the compressor FAD test, the leakage test indicated that lot of air leakages are there in the compressed air system. The control of compressed air leakage in the system will reduce the power consumption by 15%. The regular implementation and follow-up will also results in many other associated benefits such as stable pressure, reduction in generation pressure, long life of the equipment, etc. The steps involved in no-load test are: To switch off all user equipment (during non-operating of the equipment) To pressurize the pipelines and note down loading and unloading times of compressors. During the test two compressors were operated to monitor loading and unloading of the compressors. It was observed that these two compressors were on-load for about 50% of the time. The following table gives the details about the no load test.

VSD Technology: Energy can represent over 70% of a compressor’s lifecycle costs (LCC). Generating compressed air can account for more than 40% of a plant’s total electricity bill. Most production environments have a fluctuating air demand depending on the time of day, week, or even months per year. The VSD technology mirroring compressed air requirements, fluctuating demand no longer equals high energy costs.
Traditional compressors working with a full load, no load control operate between two set pressure points. When maximum pressure is reached the compressor goes off load. During periods of medium to low air demand, the no load power consumption can be excessive – wasting large amounts of energy. Because there is no unnecessary power generated, the VSD can reduce energy costs by 35% or more. Lifecycle costs (LCC) of the compressor can be reduced by an average of 22%. In general, the extra cost of a VSD compressor compared to a fixed speed one can be earned back after just one to two years.
VSD (Variable Speed Drive) technology mirrors air usage – automatically adjusting the motor speed depending on demand. Lowered system pressure minimizes energy use across the production to reduce energy costs. With VSD technology, having major energy cost savings a reality.

The VSD reduces energy costs by:
Eliminating the inefficient transition period from full to no load power. Avoiding excessive off load power consumption. Maintaining the net pressure band to within 0.10 bars, 1.5 psi. Reducing overall average working pressure. Minimizing system leakage due to a lower system pressure. Increasing flexibility with soft starting gradual motor ramp-up to avoid electricity surges.

RECOMMENDATIONS:1. Its strongly recommended to stop the leakage of the entire compressed air system. A thermal image shows that internal leakage of the compressors (3& 5). Leakage is also source of energy wastage in industrial compressed air system. A typical plant that has not been well maintained will likely have a leak rate equal to 20 percent of total compressed air production capacity. On the other hand, proactive leak detection and repair can reduce leaks to less than 10 percent of compressor output. This will lead to a saving of 0.88 Lakhs/annum.

COOLING TOWERS
10.1 COLLING TOWERS:-
Cooling towers are a very important part of an industrial unit. The primary task of a cooling tower is to reject heat into the atmosphere. Company uses 4 round bottle cooling towers of fiberglass reinforced plastic material. The fans are directly driven, axial flow type made of lightweight Aluminum casting. The water is discharged at low pressure out of holes of PVC pipes and evenly distributed over PVC fills to achieve maximum wetted surface area. The honeycombed fills are made of PVC.
The performance of cooling towers is evaluated to assess present levels of approach and range against their design values, identify areas of energy wastage and to suggest improvements. During the performance evaluation the following major parameters are measured: 1. Wet bulb temperature of air 2. Dry bulb temperature of air 3. Cooling tower inlet water temperature 4. Cooling tower outlet water temperature

10.2 RECOMMENDATIONS:1. Inlet water flow nozzle is not working, its result having reduced the volume with high power consumption. So check the flow nozzles and rectify the problems. 2. The power consumption in cooling towers is effected by the CT fan blade angle. A higher CT fan blade angle results in higher power consumption during winter and rainy seasons. A reduction in the blade angle of the cooling tower fan from 50 to 45 degree resulted in reduction of power consumption by about 20% and rationalized air flow.

2) All the tube light fittings should have a reflector and it should be cleaned regularly as per schedule. In this way a single tube light can be used in place of double tube lights in each fitting. This will lead to a saving of 50% energy for these lights.
3) 20% energy can be saved by installing “lighting Energy Saver� in lighting circuit. Energy Saver for lighting circuit is basically step down transformer; which reduces the supply

voltage. 20% reduction in supply voltage for fluorescent lamps reduces the energy consumption by 20% while lux reduction is only 5%. This lux reduction is so small that our eyes cannot differentiate the reduction in lighting lux. Hence expected saving = 0.2 x 133 kW x 12 hrs x 320 days = 1, 02,144kW per annum = Rs. 6.30 x 102144 kW

4) SOLAR LIGHT PIPE:A light tube is a tube which is designed to be installed in a ceiling or wall to allow natural light to pass into a room. Light tubes are also known as light pipes or solar tubes, and they are an increasingly common feature in design and architecture. There are a number of advantages to light tubes, ranging from security to savings on energy bills. Many home supply stores carry light tubes which are ready to be installed, and they can also be custom designed. The most basic light tube design is simply a straight cylinder, capped with a dome on one end and a diffuser on the other. The dome end is pointed outside, allowing the dome to concentrate and collect light so that it can pass down the tube, and the diffuser diffuses the light into the room so that hot spots do not develop. Light tubes can also be bent and lined with reflective materials to pass the light on, and they can have other innovative features as well. Light tubes have a number of advantages over skylights, another type of window commonly installed to allow more light into a space. Light tubes are much easier to install, and less likely to contribute to the development of leaks and weak spots in a roof. They are also more secure, as people cannot fit through a light tube.

With the help of solar light pipes we can reduce the electricity consumption in day time. This will lead to a saving of 13.92 Lakhs/annum with a payback period of 01.2 years. Solar light pipes are maintenance free, and having a life span of 15-25 years. Solar light pipes are useful only in daytime. At night we have to go for normal lamps. A photo sensor (light dimmer) based lighting system automatically switch to solar as well as normal lamps depending upon the lighting needs. 5) SOLAR STREET LIGHTS:Solar street lights are raised light sources which are powered by photovoltaic panels generally mounted on the lighting structure. The photovoltaic panels charge a rechargeable battery, which powers a fluorescent or LED lamp during the night. Most solar panels turn on and turn off automatically by sensing outdoor light using a light source. Solar streetlights are designed to work throughout the night. Many can stay lit for more than just one night not if sun in not available for a couple of days. Older models included lamps that were not fluorescent or LED. Solar lights installed in windy regions are generally equipped with flat panels to better cope with the winds. Latest designs use wireless technology and fuzzy control theory for battery management. The street lights using this technology can operate as a network with each light having the capability of performing on or off the network.
78
Energy Audit of XXXX - A Major Japanese Auto Components Manufacturer , Manesar
Types Solar street lights are generally classified into two types. Standalone solar street lights Standalone solar street lights have photovoltaic panels mounted on the structure. Each street light has its own photovoltaic panels and is independent of the other lamps. Centrally operated solar street lights In this type, the photovoltaic panels for a group of street lights are mounted separately. All the street lights in a particular group are connected to this central power source. Advantages • • • • •
Solar street lights are independent of the utility grid. Hence, the operation costs are minimized. Solar street lights require much less maintenance compared to conventional street lights. Since external wires are eliminated, risk of accidents is minimized. This is a nonpolluting source of electricity
Disadvantages • •
Initial investment is higher compared to conventional street lights. Risk of theft is higher as equipment costs are comparatively higher.

AIR HANDLING UNITS
12.1 AIR HANDLING UNITS The major heating and cooling costs in a facility can be saved by better insulation of the walls and roof, and reduction of air leakage (infiltration and exfiltration) through the building envelope. Air leakage and excessive heat transfer through an AHU casing causes the fans, pumps and chillers or condensing units to work harder. Company uses AHUs in Coil and STB plants for circulation of air in the work place. The measured parameters of the AHUs may be tabulated as follows:

12.2 OBSERVATIONS:During the audit it was observed that the inlet side of the AHUs were placed directly on the ground and exposed to the surroundings thus causing infiltration effects. In addition to this Air handling units are also susceptible to exfiltration effects which may be caused to poor insulation or improper sealing. Both types of leakage increase the amount of energy required to supply conditioned air to the work place and increased power consumption. Uncontrolled infiltration results in control of mixed air and increases cooling energy and maintenance costs. Exfiltration increases the fan loading to compensate for loss in air supply. For every 1% of unconditioned air that leaks into or out of the unit 1% more air must be filtered, cool, and moved. Hence for every 1% an air handling unit leaks it consumes 1% more energy.
83
Energy Audit of XXXX - A Major Japanese Auto Components Manufacturer , Manesar
12.3 RECOMMENDATIONS:Hence it is proposed to place the AHU inlet units on a clean surface (preferably plastered and raised platform) to avoid the infiltration effects. For better results the units may be placed in well covered and shaded areas. A higher value of thermal resistance (R) of the insulation in the walls of an air-handling unit results in lesser heat transfer through the walls. The thermal resistance of insulation is based on two factors: a) The thermal conductivity “K-value” of the insulation b) Thickness of the insulation: R = (1/K) X Thickness. Fiberglass (K=0.25 btu·in/hr·ft2·°F) or closed-cell foam insulation (K=0.16 btu·in/hr·ft2·°F) may be used for insulation for AHUs. An insulation of 2inch thickness gives the following values of “R” 1. R = (1/0.25) X 2 = 8 (for Fiberglass) 2. R = (1/0.25) X 4 = 16 (for closed-cell foam) Using the values of R so obtained the heat transfer through the casing of the air handling units may be computed as follows: ΔQ = ΔT X A X (1/R) Where: ΔQ = Heat flow, Btu/h ΔT = Temperature difference, F° A = Surface area, ft2 R = Thermal resistance, (hr·ft2·°F)/ Btu For saving energy, consistent casing insulation throughout an air handling is also very important. Reduced thickness or complete lack of insulation in different sections of the AHU can lead to both increased energy consumption, and the formation of condensation on the skin of the unit. The frame must be insulated and sealed and the panel insulation must be consistent throughout the unit.

ENERGY MONITORING SYSTEMS
13.1 ENERGY MONITORING SYSTEM "DO NOT Estimate when you can calculate, DO NOT Calculate when you can Measure" Monitoring of energy consumption and identification of energy guzzlers creates interest towards reduction of energy consumption and hence saving of energy and money. Energy meters along with appropriate current transformers (CTs) may be installed to measure actual energy consumption after the primary utility energy meter. Sub metering allows monitoring of energy usage for individual sections / departments / individual equipments of higher capacity to account for their actual energy usage and consumption pattern. The installation of sub meters provides a record of actual energy usage of different sections, departments, or higher capacity equipment which is different from estimation. Sub meters provide an effective means of monitoring, measurement & verification of energy conservation programs. Other benefits include: Accurate monitoring of energy consumption pattern. Sub meters act as concise energy management tools. Sub metering coupled with building / energy management systems provides detailed energy data giving the users an opportunity to control their energy usage. Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system may be used which act as a "watchdog" to keep an eye on performance. Sub metering provides an accurate knowledge and identifies the areas of maximum energy usage. Sub meters may be installed to measure actual energy consumption after the primary utility energy meter. Sub metering allows monitoring of energy usage for individual sections, departments, individual equipments of higher capacity to account for their actual energy usage and consumption pattern.
13.2 PROPOSED SUB METERING FOR Company: The installation of the sub meters for the different power feeders may be recommended based upon the energy consumption patterns and amount of energy used by different facilities. A summary of the sanctioned load and actual load of different facilities is as follows:

The installation of sub meters may be segregated as follows: 1. Facility Wise Sub meters may be installed at the input supply of each facility. The manufacturing plant consists of following major facilities: a) Office/ Administrative Block b) Canteen/ Cafeteria c) Coil Plant d) STB Plant Sub meters may be installed at the input supply side of each of these facilities to identify the maximum energy consuming facility and hours of maximum energy consumption. However, it is proposed to install the sub meters at Office/ Administrative Block, Coil Plant and STB Plant. 2. Section Wise: Within each Section/ Building sub meters may also be installed depending upon the operating processes involved. a) Plant: The major operations carried out in this section are machining, powder coating, phosphate, casting, polishing etc. The facility is operational in two sub-sections: 1. Plant 1 2. Plant 2 3. Plant 3 (Proposed) Hence a sub meter may be installed at these sub- sections.
87
Energy Audit of XXXX - A Major Japanese Auto Components Manufacturer , Manesar
b) STB Plant A sub meter may installed at the input supply side of the STB plant may capture and provide a record of the energy consumption pattern of the facility and the loading pattern of the equipments in the facility. The facility is operating in two sub-sections: 1. STB 1 2. STB 2 A sub meter may be installed at each of these sub- sections ant the input supply side for accurately monitoring the pattern and amount of energy consumed.
