Energy auditing:
Introduction:
With increase in demand in energy and deficient in power generation, the cost of power is going to increase manifold. This will worsen the cost of lining if new technology energy efficient fittings and machines are consuming more power. The energy savings can be accomplished by efficient use of power and judiciously employing energy management programmers.
Energy Audit like, a financial audit is a systematic and scientific process to identify the potential for improvements in energy efficiency, to recommend the ways, with or without financial investment, to achieve estimated savings in energy and energy cost.
This requires collection &analysis of existing energy usage data, careful study of existing equipment and the process and then suggesting practical& economic ways for saving energy &energy cost.
The greatest malady that has plagued power supply utilities is the scourge of transmission and distribution losses. Although the menace of transmission & distribution losses in a power system in inevitable, yet these need to be continuously monitored and mitigated to reasonable limits. Transmission & Distribution losses in power system account for the energy lost in transit from the sending end to the receiving end.
In the present era, more generation of power is not sufficient; the prime concern is how we make power available to the consumer that is reliable and at affordable cost. Any changes in the power sector right from generation to transmission to distribution to the consumer should focus on the customer...
