Energy Audit By Elpro Energy Dimension Pvt. Ltd.

Energy AuditThe preliminary step for decision making in the area of efficient energy management is an Energy Audit. Energy Audit attempts to identify all the energy streams in a facility and map the energy usage. It attempts to balance the energy inputs to the use thus identifying or eliminating wastage in the process. As per the Energy Conservation Act 2001, Energy Audit has been defined as "the verification, monitoring and analysis of the 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". Thus the Detailed Energy Audit will bring out the efficiencies of all electrical energy consuming equipment based on the energy consumption.The Audit will bring out the inefficiencies in the power quality of the facility like harmonics, low power factor etc. It will bring out ENCON(Energy Conservation) strategies to efficiently use natural energy sources like solar energy for heating and lighting, geothermal energy for cooling etc. It will bring out ENCON measures on existing energy consuming equipment. Finally it will bring out the necessary tools to be used for monitoring efficient use of energy post implementation of energy saving measures. For this purpose the information to be collected during the detailed energy audit includes: Energy consumption by type of energy, by department, by major energy consuming equipmentEnergy cost and tariff dataProcess and material flow diagrams.Generation and distribution of site services (e.g. compressed air, steam)Sources of energy supply.Potential for fuel substitution, process modification etc.Energy management programs and energy training programs.
