Energy  Savings  Analysis

Energy  Savings  Analysis Some  energy  savings  opportunities  are  easy  to  calculate,  e.g.: Replacing  an  incandescent  light  bulb  (60W)  with  a  compact  fluorescent   (10W)  will  save  50Wh  for  every  hour.  If  the  light  is  used  for  1,000  hours  per  year,  then  you  save  50,000  Wh,  or   50  kWh  At  15c/kWh,  the  saving  therefore  is  $7.50. 

Energy  savings  verificaHon

Wednesday, 26 September 12

Energy  savings  verificaHon A) Annual  baseline  comparison  Establish  annual  baseline  before  energy  savings  project  implemented  Re-­‐measure  consumption  after  implementation  Normalise  consumption  with  production  and  ambient  conditions  Compare  before  and  after

 Disadvantage:  Inaccurate  for  small  projects,  needs  1  year’s  data  in  case  of  winery

B) Turning  savings  on  and  off   



Run  plant  with  savings  technique,  measure  power  use Turn  savings  technique  off,  re-­‐measure Differential  in  power  consumption  =  savings

Disadvantage:  Does  not  work  for  every  project,  does  not  work  for  winery  load   profile
