Energy audit before building a power center
Assessment of enterprise energy consumption and preparation of an efficiency improvement program.
Energy audit reveals the actual consumption structure of electricity, heat, steam, and cooling, and determines which portion of the load can be covered by captive generation with the greatest effect.
What's included
- — Facility survey and collection of actual consumption patterns
- — Identification of base and peak loads
- — Assessment of cogeneration and heat recovery potential
- — Action plan with prioritization by effect
Preparing for an engineering discussion
Build a picture of your site before choosing equipment
An initial assessment is easier to start with the operating facility than with a generator model. Gather information in four areas to help define the task.
Show the demand profile
Identify equipment that cannot be stopped and periods when demand rises or falls. Include any available daily and seasonal load records.
Describe the energy requirement
State the electricity and heat quantities needed. Where the data are incomplete, identify what still needs to be established.
Clarify access to gas
Indicate whether the site has a gas connection and which fuel supply conditions are known at this stage.
Collect current tariffs
A later comparison of options will need the gas, electricity and heat prices applicable to the facility.
This information is a starting point, not a replacement for a site assessment. The discussion identifies missing inputs, the scope of further work and the intended deliverables.
