The biggest advantage
of an auditing project is to achieve a good understanding of the current situation.
Then by defining the situation and comparing it with the optimal one which could
be acquired through available resources, the system could be developed to an optimal
situation. The most important features of energy auditing could be summarized as
follows:
- The determination of energy current in consuming and subsidiary
units of energy producers.
- A definition of parameters for energy consumption intensity
in different processing units, subsidiary units and the whole industrial unit. The
comparison of this parameter with the optimal conditions determines the weak points
of equipment functioning and utilization. The registration and the temporal comparison
of this parameter is an effective device in controlling the systems.
- The determination of working efficiency of energy consuming
equipments, the efficiency grade of energy exchanging equipments and the output
of energy transferring and distribution systems.
- The determination of possibilities of energy saving along
with assessing the necessary technical and economical possibilities. The efficiency
grade of each project and its influence on other process conditions and also the
assignment of the necessary investment are among the main results of an audit project.
Using the acquired data from an energy audit, the managers of a unit could take
appropriate decisions on implementing methods of the projects which could lead to
success.
- Preparing
the most appropriate executive plan for controlling and maintaining the optimal
process conditions, controlling the working conditions of equipments and finally
determining the most appropriate executive projects in order to optimize the consumption
conditions according to the value priorities and the expenditure amounts on planning.
It is clear
that achieving these aims in each industrial unit demands –depending on different
parameters and the current determining conditions- a comprehensive understanding
of the unit and also its own planning and case studies. Good knowledge of the auditor
of the process and the method of producing the output and his awareness of key points
and lavish consumption in the production process will help him to achieve the determined
aims faster, better and in a more comprehensive way. The assignment and the determination
of the efficiency grade of the energy saving possibilities demands, on the other
side, a comprehensive understanding of the process conditions, a correct knowledge
of conditions and available potentials and a determination of reciprocal proposed
changes in the working conditions. |
