“…The same study showed that around 36% of the energy input to the textile industry is lost on site (e.g. in boilers, motor system, etc) [17][18][19].Energy audit of an industry is a systematic procedure which aims to evaluate that existing energy consumption and also it is a method to evaluate the existing pattern of energy consumption, according to the BEE norms, we can compare the existing measurement with the standard one to find out the energy conservation opportunities in it, this will improve energy efficiency and reduce production cost [4][5][6][7]. Normally, an energy audit is carried out by certified energy auditors / certified energy manager .…”

Electrical Energy has become a one of the vital factor in deciding the total production cost and maintenance cost . Day by day, energy demand keeps rising in the industrial sectors because of this reason it is essential to reduce energy consumption for that energy conservation is must needed action. Energy Audit is the prime tool for finding the energy conservation oppourtunities. It helps us to make attempts to balance the total energy inputs with its use and serves to identify all the energy flow in a facility. Energy auditing will not only save money but it also improves the quality of electrical energy supply. Energy Conservation and Energy efficiency in industry has to be improved, this is the prime motive for Government of India. This paper shares the experiences of the authors on Electrical Energy Conservation Projects carried out in a Textile Industry situated in Tamilnadu State. We have used Load Manager for the observation of electrical datas during normal working load condition itself. These datas helps us to gain the electrical energy audting experience in the industry

“…Energy audit provides a bench-mark and basis for more effective planning for the use of energy in any organization [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Textile industry is the major role player for country's economy [12][13][14][15][16][17]. In Pakistan, textile industry shares for overall manufacturing activity is 46%; export is 68%; value addition is 9% of GDP and employment provision is 38%, in addition to the foreign exchange earnings, investment and contribution to the value added industry [18][19][20][21] .…”

The textile industry plays a pivotal role in Pakistanâ€™s economy. The industryâ€˜s share for overall manufacturing activity is 46%; in the export sector it is 68%; in value addition it is 9% of GDP and in providing employment it is 38%, in addition to the foreign exchange earnings, investment and contribution to the value added industry. In spite of this major contribution, the textile industry is at a severe risk due to hefty increases in energy costs. Keeping in view of these challenges in order to technically support the textile industry, energy audit of a textile mill ihas been carried out and areas of energy wastage are identified with an estimated cost saving of almost Rs. 6.8 million. Finally recommendations are given for cost effective measures for efficient energy usage, estimation of implementation costs and payback periods.KEYWORDS: Â energy; audit; loss; consumption; economy

“…Conservation and efficient use of energy in industry has for a long time been a priority of the Government of India. So among industrial consumers, the aspect of energy conservation is gaining due importance of the realization that "Energy Saved is Energy Produced and that too at Economical Cost [2]. The effect of CVR on energy consumption can be explained as follows.…”

There are two main forms of energy that are consumed by industries, namely, oil and electricity. Globally, industrial electrical energy usage accounts for 40% of total usage and is a major contributor to CO2 emissions. There are several different uses of electrical energy in a factory, such as lighting, cooling, heating and supplying power to machineries. The electrical energy saving potential of industry systems largely remains unrealized because it is deeply embedded in industrial management and operational practices. Lighting is an essential part of any industrial load, and hence, it plays a vital role in reducing inflated energy bills. This paper describes two practical measures that have been implemented in a railway workshop and the energy saving achieved in lighting. Energy savings in lighting not only reduces the energy bill but also reduces CO2 emissions.
