ENERGY SAVING POTENTIAL
As per one estimate of year 2001, potential savings of 30,000 MW are yet to be tapped in India. By this any one could imagine the implication of this magnitude, considering that the country's total installed capacity is about 90,000 MW.
In the Indian industry, apart from short to medium term energy efficient retrofits, quantum jumps in energy cost reduction can be made by various initiatives
- Efficient energy procurement practices
- Improved capacity utilization
- Better Layout
- Day to Day Monitoring
- Checklist of Daily consumption
- Upgrading of process technology and equipment
- Upgrading of boilers and power house, and other utilities
- Cogeneration (Combined heat and power including waste heat recovery)
- Automation etc.
One can context a pragmatic approach of Total Energy Management (TEM) :
- Evolve an overall Energy Strategy
- Create all round participation with commitment from management
- Implement a systematic management action plan
IMPLEMENTING A STEP-BY-STEP ACTION PLAN FOR A SUCCESSFUL TEM CAMPAIGN IN A TYPICAL PLANT
- First Step: Commitment from management and executives
- Initiate energy conservation on his own - as a way of life
- Second Step:
- a Preliminary Energy Audit
- Third Step:
- Detail Energy Audit and Management study
- Fourth Step:
- Discussion on all identified points with all concerned
- Implementation of identified
- First Step:
- Quantification; reporting savings to management and Energy Accounting
- Sixth Step:
- Motivate all Layers
- Seventh Step:
- Training on sustenance
