Detailed Energy Audit
Overview
Energy Audit is defined as “the verification, 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”. It builds on the principle "you can't manage what you don't measure". It essentially combines the principles of energy use and statistics.

Scope of Work
Analysis of the Electricity bills
- Analysis of the different section of the electricity bills.
- Study of the fixed charges and variable charges and comments on the same.
- Calculation of the Specific Energy Consumption and comment on the same.
- Calculation of the load factor of the plant.
- Comments on the contract demand and suggestions to reduce them.
Electrical Distribution Networks
- Transformers & Distribution Network:
- Performance evaluation of the transformers.
- Studies of rationalization of transformers if more than two are present.
- Carrying out 24 hr load survey for the electrical network and remarks on the quality of the power supply.
- Cables:
- Calculation of the cable losses for the major loads.
- Suggesting methods to reduce the losses and optimizing their use.
Power factor
- Measurement of power factor at PCC, MCC and the Major load Centers.
- Suggesting methods to improve the present power factor.
Metering and Monitoring Status
- Review of existing metering system of the plant.
- Suggesting need and methods to improve the metering system, if required.
Electrical Equipment’s

Energy conservation is the effort made to reduce the consumption of energy by using less of an energy service. This can be achieved either by using energy more efficiently (using less energy for a constant service) or by reducing the amount of service used (for example, by driving less).
Harmonic analysis is a technique used to study and analyze the harmonic components in a periodic waveform or signal. The main use of harmonic analysis in electrical engineering is to examine the existence and properties of harmonics in electrical power systems. Harmonic voltage or current waveform frequencies are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. However, due to non-linear loads, such as power electronics, variable speed drives, and certain types of lighting, harmonic currents and voltages can be introduced into the system.
A compressed air audit effectively identifies inefficiencies, reduces energy costs, and improves system performance. Many industrial air compressors operate inefficiently due to leaks, artificial demand, and incorrect air pressure requirements, unnecessarily increasing cost per kWh.
