Wastage of Today is Shortage of Tomorrow - Conserve Energy

Industrial Engineering eliminates waste of all resources.


____________________________________________________________________________
National Energy Conservation Day is observed in India on 14th December.

India has an act in this area - The Energy Conservation Act 2001.

The Energy Conservation Act 2001 is implemented by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), a statutory body under Government of India. The act  envisages creation of cadre of professionally qualified energy managers and auditors with expertise in energy management, project management, financing and implementation of energy efficiency projects, as well as policy analysis.

What is Energy Conservation?

Energy conservation means using less energy and avoiding excessive or wasteful uses.
Energy efficiency, on the other hand, means using less energy while getting the same results. Efficiency is therefore a subset of conservation; one way to conserve energy is to use it more efficiently.
The concept of doing more with less offers an approach that seems both feasible and affordable.

Sometimes the two concepts are distinguished by how the savings are achieved. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) says that “energy efficiency is technology-based” (compact fluorescent light bulbs, for example), while conservation “is rooted in behavior” (such as turning off unneeded lights). Moreover, the energy savings from efficiency are easier to predict, measure and especially to sustain, making efficiency easier to treat as an energy resource.1 This distinction, however, is not entirely clear cut; there are efficiency measures that rely on behavior, such as combining car trips to save gasoline.

IMPACTS: INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES PROGRAM (ITP), SUMMARY OF PROGRAM RESULTS FOR CY2009

http://energy.gov/eere/downloads/impacts-industrial-technologies-program-summary-program-results-cy2009

The document consists of seven appendices.
Appendix 1 describes the 95 ITP-supported technologies currently available commercially and their applications and benefits.
Appendix 2 describes the 132 ITP-supported emerging technologies likely to be commercialized within two or three years.
Appendix 3 describes 128 ITP-supported technologies used in past commercial applications, the
current benefits of which are no longer counted in this report.
Appendices 4 and 5 summarize the benefits of two ITP technical assistance activities: the Industrial Assessment Centers and the Save Energy Now initiative.
Appendix 6 summarizes the benefits of CHP systems attributed to DOE activities.
Appendix 7 describes the methodology used to assess and track ITP-supported technologies.

About DOE’s Industrial Technologies Program


The Industrial Technologies Program, through partnerships with industry, government, and non-governmental organizations, develops and delivers advanced energy effi ciency, renewable energy, and pollution prevention technologies for industrial applications. The Industrial Technologies Program is part of the U.S. Department of Energyʼs Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

The Industrial Technologies Program encourages industry-wide efforts to boost resource productivity through a strategy called Industries of the Future (IOF). IOF focuses on the following eight energy and resource intensive industries:

• Aluminum • Forest Products • Metal Casting • Petroleum
• Chemicals • Glass • Mining • Steel


The Industrial Technologies Program and its Best Practices activities offer a wide variety of resources to industrial partners that cover motor, steam, compressed air, and process heating systems. For example, Best Practices software can help you decide whether to replace or rewind motors (MotorMaster+), assess the efficiency of pumping systems (PSAT), compressed air systems (AirMaster+), steam systems (Steam Scoping Tool), or determine optimal insulation thickness for pipes and pressure vessels (3E Plus).

Training is available to help you or your staff learn how to use these software programs and learn more about industrial systems. Workshops are held around the country on topics such as “Capturing the Value of Steam Efficiency,” “Fundamentals and Advanced Management of Compressed Air Systems,” and “Motor System Management.”

Available technical publications range from case studies and tip sheets to source books and market assessments. The Energy Matters newsletter, for example, provides timely articles and information on comprehensive energy systems for industry. You can access these resources and more by visiting the BestPractices Web site at www.eere.energy.gov/ industry/bestpractices or by contacting the EERE Information Center at 877-337-3463 or via email at www.eere.energy.gov/informationcenter/.

Andhra Pradesh


Andhra Pradesh  government is set to unveil an energy efficiency policy. The policy is being formulated with sector-specific programmes to achieve energy efficiency targets over the next five years starting this fiscal year, 2021-22. According to AP State Energy Conservation Mission (APSECM), an estimated 25 per cent of the annual consumption of 66,000 million units (comes to 16,500 million units) in the state can be saved to realize  monetary savings of Rs 9,600 crore and reduce pressure to produce more.

40% more Energy Saved  (PAT) Cycle-2 than what was accomplished during the Cycle-1

Andhra Pradesh has saved 3,430 million units of energy, which can be translated into 0.295 million tonne of oil equivalent (MTOE) worth around ₹2,350 crore and achieved a reduction of 1.38 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emission under the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) cycle-2 which is a mandatory flagship programme of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE).

  2. Energy management solutions training begin with the right energy management software. By using robust, advanced tools and software, organizations and enterprises can properly oversee, track, and manage energy usage and productivity levels. The robust tools and technology coupled with thorough and effective training will no doubt impact organizations positively and over the long term. Best Energy efficiency software Service

  3. About 10 percent of the energy your home uses goes to lighting costs. By just replacing five of your home's most frequently used lights with Oren Ahronson energy-efficient ENERGY STAR bulbs, you could save $75 a year in energy costs. Compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, compact fluorescent bulbs can yield as much as 75 percent energy savings and last six-times longer. You can get even more energy savings, longer life span and less wasted heat by switching to Oren Ahronson ENERGY STAR LEDs.

  7. I understand the phase industries have been going through difficult situations. But is there any way in which we can attain energy efficiency for industry? Recently I heard about Keiken Engineering known for its providing technologies designed to cater to the needs of the present-day manufacturers.
