Aim: - To Study the Element OF Energy Conservation

To pedal our backs, heat over homes we turn on lights & solid our boats. We need energy. To turn on our tube lights we use electrical energy and wind power are just across in the of many kind of energy we come across the world around as; Any object that has energy no matter in what from it gets ability to do the way. Change in the energy is on all time in the world. For example when we switch on the torch the chemical energy starts in the torch. Battery is converted in the heat energy. The filament of the bulb heats up so much that it starts to glow. The heat energy is now converted in to light energy. From this example we can require the basic law of nature known as the conversion of energy. Energy Scenario:The importance & necessity of energy conservation will be realized. If we study the energy consumption in past present & for cased future by scientists. Energy is a modern industrial society. Indian energy infrastructure is normally based on possible coal hydropower and nuclear energy. Energy analysis was not for interest and importance before 1973. The process was continuously reduced in past but in 1973 Arab section head out the production in protect of western support. At the same time prices of oil was hiked by 86%. This event reversed the decline of the energy price. Some the world raised that energy from possible fuels was possible. Fuel is available in limited quantities. So developed countries charged their energy policy to achieve objectives like Improved energy efficiency throughout energy conservation

Reduce dependence on possible fuel capacity oils.

Energy and Environment Effect:The process of energy from the nature and process of transport & civilization of energy creates significant environment pollution. Different process emits solid and liquid gas pollutants in environment. Gas pollution gives rise to green house effect & hence global warming is produced. Due to green house effect it gives rise to 2 to 4%. The average temperature of the earth atmosphere is likely to increase by 1.5 C to 4.5 C in next 50year pollution of environment disturbs the economical balance. In the third conference at Kyoto in December 1997 a protocol is formed under which different countries have to reduce their green house gas emission to achieve this energy consumption must be reduced which requires new energy technologies.

Concept Of Energy Conservation:The world annual energy consumption rate is increasing at a rate of 2 to 4%.The value of the energy used in the form of renewable oil, natural gas and coal. The resource are being consumed at the rate of all most billions of tones of coal equivalent to 0.32 million. We have provided recoverable world resources of 20.3 pet Jules of oil and natural gas. But it has been estimated by scientists that energy demand will be rise by 1.11 million per amount. Possible fuel wasting assent so in future energy storage will band to go up. For these we should stop our waste fuel practices in energy by all possible

means as burden duty to those who come after use. As yet unknown we almost strive after good energy economy to reduce manufacturing cost. About 80% of the power generation in India is by thermal power station which has efficiency of 60% to 85%. The transmission distribution losses are 20% to 25%. One unit of electricity at the uses end requires four units of primary fuel at the generating stations. Thus electricity is very expensive. The capital cost of the power station has Rs. 4 to 5 Crores/MW i.e. 40,000 to 50,000/- KW transmission and distribution cost almost 50 to 60% of above figure. The construction of power station requires of gas time of 5 to 10 years due to problem related to investment fuel leakage and environmental. Hydro project in India like Narmada have been bagged down by Everson metal contacts. There is no simple economically available starting electricity. Hence demand & supply have been much instant. Saving electricity leads to reduction in environment pollution which is good for the society as a whole so far the above reason electricity must be converted by its efficient use. Specific energy consumption measures have a result in the following reasons. Industrial sectors Transport sectors Agriculture sectors Power generator sectors Transmission and D.B. sectors Energy intensity per unit of industrial production is designing from last 4 years in industry. Of course this is a positive sign for India in valuing heavy modernization costs. Following industrial sub sectors have a good scope for energy conversion

Aluminum Cement Copper Paper Petroleum Industry Process Industries Steel Sugar Large Industry depends upon the modernization mostly on the improved equipment. So they have tested energy efficiency technologies from the environmental market while in the medium and small scale industries they largely depends on the local manufacturers to produce energy efficient equipment almost user and small medium industries both need incentive like task credit which has no rather than subsides. It should be noted that small scale industries account for 60% of Indias export. So any improvement in this area can be significantly contributed in energy conversion. For large sectional industries energy conversion through magnetically improvement and change in their capital cost Government effective terms port policy will lower energy consumption per capital convince the transport or the individual owners of the vehicle for energy consumption from the cost electiveness of their system & environment point of the view. Encourage the manufacturer of the automobile and transport through financial and logistical nature to produce energy efficient vehicle also encourage the automobile component manufacture to development which will improve the efficiency of the exciting vehicle.

As regards to agriculture sector emphasis is to depend on the diesel engines and pump sets and their accessories. It is necessary to think about operation maintenance schedule and patterns of maintenance. Educate the farmers by the dealers or irrigation pump set for battery energy conversion. Show the difference between an efficient and all maintenance pump and energy efficient pump. Electricity diesel oil and others results in unnecessary waste of energy thereby ineffective equipment and machinery. Approximate pricing shall control the consumption any try to think towards energy efficient machinery & equipment. Losses must be tacked seriously in power generation transmission and distribution the arrangement has already identified. This sector is for private investment. But private are only investors interested in power generation side. They are not interested to take risk. For power generation government has to go for the latest technology for operation of different steps which can be taken to basic higher economic return by material and technology.

Energy Management means the judicious and effective use of energy to maximum productivity and controlling the supply and consumption of energy so it deals with energy conservation measures. To have effective measurement people must have an energy awareness and a desired to conserve energy an absolute benefit of energy consumption is that organization save many as a result of their effect energy management in desired energy statuary energy policy and energy planning. Energy startory means factory used to plan and direct large scale energy supply adopted of National level. Energy planning means detailed fermentation of action to achieve objective there follows the moraine logical national stator.

Principle of Energy Management:Unlimited low energy is available in nature but usable energy is limited. Usable energy can be obtained by conversion processor during conversion process some energy is lost into environment so energy needs must be acute from global level to invalid level supply and use side management must have energy policy. The higher authority in organization must stick to their energy policy.

According and respect billets for energy management program are wasted in the individual not a committed. Many times the commonly also here an outside professional management consulted to assist the energy management coordinator part. Next step in this phase is to create database for internal and external energy information. The internal database sets the energy utilization in the company. The external database rotes to available energy conversant approximates with their cost of implementation.

Different Approaches of Energy Management:Today most attend management equivalent of low time more energy than needed for base survival. So natural resources are diminished and demand for energy is increasing world wide for maintaining reasonable cost, people have to use it in efficient way. There are three ways to manage energy use:1)

Reduced use or reduction interment. They can be achieved either through self

demand or through information regular action or economic measured e.g. use sunlight instead of tube light, go to office using ladder instead of elevator up to 1st/2nd floor in multi stored buildings. 2) Government actions are being taken to efficient patterns of energy use. There actions can be categorized in three ways.

Aim:- To study energy conservation in various industries. Energy conservation in industries:The industries in India account for approximately 36% by the total energy consumed. The principles are iron and steel, aluminum, cement pulp and paper textiles and oil refineries. The iron and steel industries is the most significant uses of energy. An attempt to conserve energy in the industries sector is therefore worth while.

Table 1 Fuel substitution in steel making The four major stages in production of iron and steel as for energy use in concerned are mining and are preparation manufacture of pig-iron manufacture of steel and the steel finishing processor. The manufacture of pig-iron is prepared by the conservation of cool to coke with cock oven thermal conservation efficiency to the order of 85% & the preparation of sinters. A modern blast furnace is a very large steel surface having as its main members refractory line steel cylinders typical 30m high with a height 10m in diameters at its base are sinter cock. Limestones are feed in at the top of the blast furnace and air is supplied via. the base furnace operate at a temperature above 1100 C and the products are modern iron and slag about 35% of the energy used to produce back furnace. The pig iron produced by the blast furnace. There are three main types of open health furnace typically 250 tones of steel in 5 to 8 hours but this products rate even with the improvements brought about by uses at oxygen and fast firing rates is inferior to that of the basic oxygen converter. The lengths formed by cooling of the molten steel from the furnace in modules are then subjected to verify of rolling and finishing process. Most of while are highly energy intensive. This produces elements needs to produce steel lengths as moth steels which can be feed directly in a pendant water converted modules to produce lengths of steel.

Summary of energy conservation in iron and steel industries:

Energy Conservation Technique

There are the large number of ways which energy consumption can be reduced in the iron and steel industries many of which have already been implemented in the UK, USA, JAPAN or when and also where the use of higher grade one. When obtained is one obvious way of improving efficient but this section will concentrate or improvement which can be brought about using advantage technological. In Japan which has having improved cooling cool reduction of the cock rate in the blast furnace has been achieved by several modification.

These include: Improvement of blast furnace burden. Increase in blast furnace temperature and pressure. Improvement in cock quality. Friction of auxiliary fuel from tuners. Improvement in charging and blast furnace control technology. As a result the cock rates in Japanese blast furnace average 340-350 kg/tones while the average rate is 580 kg/tones in the O.R.

Energy conservation in the Aluminum Industries:The manufacture of primary aluminum is carried out in three stages. i. Mining of the bauxite to extract aluminum. ii. Reduction of the aluminum to obtain primary aluminum. Further stages involve rotating extrusion to obtain aluminum sheet section and tubes. The mining process involves only very small proportion of the
15

energy used in the above stage. The electrical energy required to produce one of the damming having been reduced by about 35% during this period. An approximate energy balance sheet process is given in the table.

The large heat losses evident amount to about half of the total energy consumption are primarily due to the large inter poles distance (5 to 6) cm between the electrodes. This Utilization of this heat in other areas of the plant may be possible but the investment needed may be prohibitive most of the reviews of the aluminum industry agree. Half the efficiency achieved to date. In the Hault Herault process represent the realization of most of the possible energy savings and refresh iron concentrate on others improvement such as the manufacture of nonconsumable anodes.

Energy conservation in the cement industries:The cement industry is one of the major causing industries having a high priority in energy conservation in India. Energy conservation in these industries is particularly important in view of its present size and the rapid expansion taking place in it which is expected to continue for several decades.

Status of Energy Utilization (Coal):The quantities of coal generally receive by cement plants in the quantity as ash content in the range of 30-40%. The power and variable quantity of coal from more than one coal field coupled with an inconsistent supply results in various operational quantity and maintenance problem. The input of this is lower available of requirement and the effect on the cover of the economy of the industries. The high starting current drawn by the mobs on account of just three stoppages have shown due to power fail rules consumption of approximately 10,000 KWh per month and mills of 1200 tones per day also process cement plant.

Status of Energy Utilization (Raw Material):About 60% of existing cement plant meets their prime raw material requirement largely from marginal grade line stone deposit. Besides in some cases its arrangement beneficiation of marginal grade lime stone for upgrading for quality to make it suitable for cement manufacturing further. In order to maintain uniform feel to the film, additional energy is required for per-blending raw material.

Optimization of Energy Consumption Efficiency:Optimization of operation may involve marginal or very small investment with almost immediate payback benefit. Some of the important areas can be i. False air infiltration. ii. Raw mix propertionary. iii. Efficiency feeding system for raw mills and fuel. iv. Improved refractory liming parties. v. Use of mineral zero.

vi. Particle manufactures reduction process by slurry thinners. vii. Integrated apache to maintenance for energy count. viii. Conservation of energy in the operation of electrical machineries such as improvement of the power factor and load factor. ix. Manufacture of branded cement.

Energy Conservation in Pulp and Paper Industry:In the past was generally used because of the speed variation required but as is now being introduced modern practice uses a combination of ac-dc motors for constant speed drivers of choppers and beaters. For these squirrel or synchronous motors are used. The paper machine requires very excited control and the wardLeonard system is often used. The trends in energy consumption over the past have been introduced by the four major factors. 1. An increasing emphasis on production of high quality groups which have higher energy content. 2. Progress in efficient treatment application to both water and gases waste which also tends to increase the energy consumption at a plant. 3. Increased recycling of waste by forward reduction in the use of wastage resources. 4. Modernization programs including better process control and plant integration. Energy Conservation in the Textile Industries:-

In this industries the type of device used are the group drive from line shafts drive directly by motors. The semi-ground drive in which the motors shaft has several pulleys driving numbers of machines and individual drive. These are phase motors are used as their speed is fixed by the frequency of the supply. D.C. motors are not suitable as their speed varies voltage and temperature. The motors must be of high efficiency and used for conservation purposes. Surveys of typical process between successive SGJ and others are done by eliminating all imposing longer processor times. These lines of experimentation are being followed to reduced energy requirement steam purging combining desired catalyst bleaching. Energy Conservation in Oil Refineries:Of the total energy used in chemical processes in oil refineries, about 50% is required in the primary traction distribution column. This energy is being used to heat the crude oil and to raise steam used in the column. A further 35% is consumed in a sub sentiment is used for finishing the products. A number of options are available to repairing operators which could contribute towards increasing fuel efficiency. 1. Better control of operation using computers. 2. Improved blast heat recovery. 3. Increased distribution plant efficiency by using additional stage. 4. Improved furnace efficiencies. 5. Total energy schemes. 6. Upgrading of heat using heat pumps. 7. The use of low grade waste heat for space heating. Of the above only items it can be considered as being unique to an oil refinery as petrochemical complex. Other items are usually applied to large number of energies.

Aim: - Energy Conservation by Energy Efficient Motor

Use of Energy Efficient Motors:Motor systems are the most important type of electrical load. Motors are ranging from small fractional h.p. in corporate home appliances to multi megawatt used for driving pumps and turns in power plants. Motors consume more than half of the total electricity and more than 75% of the electrical consumption in industry. These are millions of pumping sets operating in the country for agriculture purpose. There is a waste potential for saving energy and money by increasing the efficiency of motors and motor system. Factors Affecting Motor Performance:The system parameters and motor characteristics which relate to the efficiency are as follows. 1) Voltage and Frequency:Operating the motor at other than rated voltage and frequency can result in decreasing motor efficiency. It also adversely affect other performance characteristics like power factor. 2) Voltage Unbalance:-

20

Energy Conservation Technique

Energy design of electric motor is best suited for a balanced 3-phase supply for efficient operation. 1% voltage unbalance will increase the motor losses by 5%. 3) Load:Every load is designed for optimum performance at full load motor efficiency will change as the load changes. It loads in operation differ from metal load than efficiency may change. The use of motors having an output rating greater than the load can cause the reduction in operating efficiency. 4) Output:The efficiency of a motor operating at rated load increases as the motor o/p have higher efficiency and power factor as compared to motor with a lower output. 5) Speed:For the same H.P rating motors with higher speed generally have a higher efficiency at rated load than motor with lower rated speeds. But it is not wiser to use a high speed motor and use pulley gears. 6) Speed:Slip is a measure of losses in the rotor winding of polyphase induction motor. Further the slip power is the efficiency due to higher losses.

Motor Efficiency:Efficiency of electric motor is defined as the ratio of the mechanical output to electrical input. Efficiency = Output/Input = Output Output + Losses = Input - Losses Input
21

Energy Conservation Technique

The losses in electric motor are as follows: i. ii. iii. iv. v. Core loses Windbag and friction losses Stator copper losses Rotor copper losses Stray load losses

Stray losses are extra magnetic and I2R losses due to effect of slot openings leakage flux and harmonic field. These losses are difficult to measure or calculate at low loads. The loads core magnetic losses are dominant, whereas at higher loads the copper resistive losses are the important. The electric motor is not a major consumer of energy by itself. It merely converts electrical energy to mechanical energy with some above mentioned losses. If motor losses are reduced to some extent, the energy will be saved by reducing electricity consumption in the mechanical equipment itself.

Energy Efficient Motor:Energy efficient motors ensure better performance. It is achieved by optimized design, more generous electrical and magnetic circuit, and higher quality materials, incremental efficiency improvements are still possible with the use of superior materials and optimized computer aided design techniques. EEMs increase efficiency approximately 6% for SHP motors. 3% for a 150 HP motors. If motor is operated for more hours, the payback is less than 2 years.

Advantages of EEEMs: Reduced power consumption. Improved power factor of operation. Lower temperature rise & increase in life service. Efficiency will be constant for long band. So less in efficiency of lower loads is less.
22

Energy Conservation Technique

Measures to Improve Efficiency of Motors by Design:

Core losses are reduced by using low loss steel larger than core area and thinner

steel stampings. The materials are more expensive. Friction & windage losses are reduced by improved bearings, better fan design and improved function of air flow. Stator copper losses are reduced by increasing the copper cross section of winding wires. But weight of copper is increased. Rotor copper losses are reduced by increasing the section of rotor bass and earrings. But more material is used. Stray losses are reduced due to increase in air gap.

Reduction in Heat In Motor Control Centre:To achieve a cost effective electrical system, the components of the system must be chosen carefully and the system must be operated in such a way as to minimize costs. There are losses in all electrical system components. Power loss occurs as a percentage of the device power rating. The losses are mostly ohmic losses (I2R losses). They result in heat dissipation.

Cables:Cable losses are essentially ohmic (I2R) losses which must be dissipated as heat. In most industrial plants, cables losses are in range at 2 to 4% at peak loads. It is difficult to measure cable losses. It can be estimated from the cable current and the cable resistance data. Generally, cables are sized on the basis of capacity and voltage drop. Consideration looses can be reduced by choosing a larger cable with greater cross-sectional area.

Star-delta Change Over:It may be appreciated that an induction motor loaded above 50%. Motor operate with a higher efficiency in a delta mode. While at loads below 50% the operation in a star mode will be more efficient. Net energy switching over to star mode operation varies from 3 to 10% because the rated output drop to 1/3rd of delta
23

Energy Conservation Technique

configuration without affecting its performance. This is one of the least cost methods available to save electrical energy in motor. So, if there is only a very small difference between the motor current with load and without load, then the motor can be conducted to star-delta change over. This method can be used for rating the motors with delta connected stators. As motors vary with duties, change over switch is useful to switch from star to delta or star as and when required. Soft starters:Soft starters are solid-state electronic components. They control the stator input voltage according to the starting torque required for the driven equipment. This results in smooth starting of the motors by drawing lower current. They avoid the high instantaneous current normally encountered. They are suitable for the application having Restriction on starting current Frequent starts and stops Undesirable jerk staring due to step change in voltage. Problem of sudden declaration when supply is switched off. Soft starters at high loads are also available. They control the output voltage from zero to full on. Thus they permit the motor to acceleration smoothly from zero to full running speed. They combine voltage control and current limit to provide constant current (Torque) to the motor till it achieve full speed. The power factor is also maintained consistently at a high level due to reduced reactive power at low voltage. The actual savings depends on the time for which higher power is required during each duty cycle. Lower the high power requirements greater will be savings.

EXPERIMENT NO:-06 Energy Saving in Welding Equipment:There are two sets electrical welding. i. ii. A.C. Welding Sets. D.C. Welding Sets.

DATE:-____________

Aim: - To study of energy saving in Arc Furnace.

D.C. Welding Sets:i. ii. Use of electrical control

There are two types in the D.C Welding sets.

Use of proper low melting filler material.

A. Generator Type (B) Rectifier Type:Generator type welding sets consists of a differential compound d.c generator driven by any types of prime mover. The control may be obtained by tapping the series field or by providing a suitable shunt across the series field winding. If the d.c distribution system field winding a resistance is put in series with equipment and control is obtained by varying this external resistance. This method is generally suitable when a number of operators are working on same supply system. Rectifier type welding set consists of a multi-phase, high leakage reactance transfer. The control obtained by regulating the terms output in d.c welding. Initial cost is very high and efficiency is low.
25

Energy Conservation Technique

A.C. Welding Set:A.C welding sets are 1- or 3- step down transformer which provides low voltage (80-100) volts on open circuit power welding. Primary of transformer has one or low tapings to take core of voltage variation cooled type. The control of current is achieved by using A. Magnetic shunt B. A chock coil or reactor placed in series with primary of a secondary winding. C. Tap changing switch on the primary winding. One disadvantage of a.c. welding is comparatively low power factor (about 0.5 lagging). This can be improved by using the capacitors and energy can be saved. Energy can be saved by using amorphous core than a silicon core. The reduction of core losses is due to the unique random atomic structure of the phase core alloy. The amorphous strips are just 1 mm thick while RGO silicon steel is 7mm to 14mm thick. Of course manufacturing of the amorphous core transformer needs special technology and expertise. When switching on transformer after long periods of non use transformer oil condition, lightness of connection must be checked. Generally transformer with larger capacity than normal load gives marginally better efficiency. But it does not mean to provide larger capacity transformer deliberately.

DATE:-____________

Aim: - To study of Pole Amplitude Motor (PAM). Use of PAM Motor For Speed Control:Motor efficiency is generally highest when motor operates within about 50% of their rated load. However for many applications the load placed on motor varies over time. In some applications like fans and pumps, the load varies with the cable (V3) of the air or water velocity. So, when the velocity is reduced by 20%, the load on the motor is reduced by 50%. For applications where the load varies with time, some means of speed control is usually employed traditionally speed is controlled with fluid couplings, eddy current coupling throttles. But these controls are inefficient because speed varies by introduced friction. Thereby energy is wasted.

Multi speed Motors:Multi speed motors generally contain two or more than two sets of windings. This allows the motor to operate at two or more than two different
27

Energy Conservation Technique

speeds. Here fine tuning is left to traditional speed controls multi speed motors provided a fairly cost approach to motor speed control. These motors typically cost from 30-80% more than a similar sized single speed. Motor savings vary depending on the application but savings 8-10% are typical. Multi speed motors are not approximate for all motor applications. It is not used where

1) Variable speed required. 2) Physical space limitations may apply.

3) Variable speed drives (VSPS) required.

Approximately 20-25% of motor energy use can benefit from multi-speed motors.

PAM Motors:The dahlander connection is one of the approach to connect the single winding to obtain two speeds. In recent years a new method of Pole Amplitude Modulation developed by G.H Raw cliff and his team. The advantages of this approach are that it requires only single winding and can yield close ratio as well as wide-ratio speeds. The PAM motors is similar in construction. A squirrel cage motor except for stator winding coil connections because they use single windings. They use a single winding. They have the same frame horse power. The winding coil connections are usually same as that of a standard induction motor. For one of the speed the other speed is obtained by reversing the currents in one half of the coils in each phase with respect to the other half operation. Comparatively simple gear is sufficient and requires only six leads to be
28

Energy Conservation Technique

brought out from the stator winding. The basic scheme of connection is shown in the fig. In PAM motor windings the coils in each phase are sub-divided into two sections in specific manner depending upon the speed ratios. PAM motors have been built in USA and UK up to ratings of 10,000 H.P.

Space Harmonics of PAM Winding:In conventional motor windings the mmf waveform is symmetrical and the major harmonics can be easily controlled by proper pitching. While in PAM motor winding, the mmf gives rise to non-identical pole pairs. This irregularity in the waveform introduces additional space harmonics such as sub-substation medium harmonics & higher order harmonics.

Advantages of PAM Motors:1) PAM motors is a rugged motor identical in construction to the squirrel cage motor identical in construction to the squirrel cage motor so it is well suited for applications like power station, mines, chemical plants, etc.

2) It is simple to maintain so normally a trained person can maintain it which is not in case of electronic drives.

3) Compared to multi-winding motors they are more compact and their first cost is less.

4) In starting high inertia loads like fans for power stations, use of PAM motors can lead to energy saving during starting when started on low speed windings.
29

Energy Conservation Technique

5) Normal 2-speed motor gives 2:1 speed ratio. PAM motors can give close speed ratio in the range of 1:5:1 which is best suited for energy conservation.

PAM Motors Application Areas:The majority of PAM motor applications are falling torque applications for energy conservation. The possible energy conservation application areas are a. Thermal power stations. b. Water/sewage pumping installations. c. Fan for ventilation installations. In the case of thermal power stations it is known that auxiliaries consume about 10-12% of the power generated. In India single speed squirrel cage motors are used for auxiliaries. The load on power stations is not constant & the requirement of cooling air, cooling water etc. The major drives in a power station when PAM motors can be applied are Induced draft fan. Primary air fan. Cooling water pumps. Force draft fan. Cool & Ash handling plant. Cooling towers fans etc. Main buildings and ventilations needs change with climate. A two-speed fan can save energy by adjusting the flow to seasonal demand.

Aim: - To study energy conservation by power factor improvement Introduction:Our standard of living and industrial productivity depends on a reliable supply of competitively priced energy. Industry needs energy to generate heat and steam for industrial processes electrical power for motors machines, lighting etc.Industries consume approximately 35% of total energy it should be noted that in India six major industries accounted for about 80% to 85% of all energy used in manufacturing The cost of energy for the industrial sector is very high obviously any measures that can reduce energy use in industrial will have beneficial results for the Indian economy. Electric power management in industry can be used to improve energy efficiency. Energy efficient technologies such as motors and lighting can contribute to a more energy efficient industrial sector

Improvement in power factors in electrical system

Power basis:The total power requirement is comprised of two components as illustrated in the power triangle
31

Energy Conservation Technique

Power factor is the ratio of active power to apparent power active. Active power is directly converted to useful work while reactive current is necessary to build up the flux for the magnetic field of inductive devices

Power in watt = 3 VL IL cos0 for3 0 = VL IL cos0 for1 0 KVA = hp * 0.7355 / n * cos0 Where, VL= line voltage IL= line current Hp= horse power n = efficiency cos0 = power factor

Advantages of power factor correction:There are several advantages indicated below (1) the monthly electric bill is lowered due to the structure (2) The electrically machinery is always rated in KWA By improving P.F. the plant system capacity is increased. (3) Electrical system losses are decreased and voltage regulation is improved
32

Energy Conservation Technique

(4) The conductors will carry less current at high power factor. This necessitates smaller conductor size.

How to improve the plant power factor:The plant power factors is improved by, (1) Running motor at full load have a scientifically betters power factors (2) Providing external capacitors at the motor or at the motor or at the distribution equipment (3) Use of energy efficient motors. (4) Using synchronous condenser

Use of capacitors:- Electrical power devices like induction motors , induction furnaces, welding transformers, chokes, lighting ballasts etc. draw large reactive component of current and operate at low P.F. This results in higher power losses and over sizing of the system capacity - Capacitors supply the reactive kilovars or magnetizing power required for reactive load. Thus the kilovers required from the generating source decreased this is illustrated in fig. energy losses in capacitors are very small and negligible for all practical purposes.

33

Energy Conservation Technique

Location of capacitors:- the primary purpose of capacitors is to reduce the power consumption additional benefits are derived by capacitors location - Maximum benefits are obtained normally by locating the capacitors near the loads At this location , its KVAR is confined to the smallest possible segment decreasing the load current. This will reduce power losses of the system substantially power losses are proportional to the square of the current. When power losses are reduced voltage at the motor increases Thus motor performance also increases Thus location is practical if load is large and fairly constant. So it avoids over compensation is harmful & may also give rise to excessive voltage build up when the motor is switched off - The capacitor may be connected to the bus bars from where the supply is given to number of loads. When several motors are running intermittently the capacitors are permitted to be on line all the time so capacitors will reduce the total regardless of load so connect the capacitors to compensate the load at the minimum load condition

What method should be used?

- The used of capacitors is usually the most economical method of improving the system power factor when the load consist mainly of groups of small motors. If a very large load. Operates continuously synchronous motor should be used

- Synchronous condensers are generally not used. It syncro. Motor which is operated without load It is rarely used in industry - One note is aelbled here that the economics of P.F. correction generally not advice to current P.F. beyond 0.95 P.F. correction using capacitors usually base pay back period of 3 years or less.

Aim: - Energy conservation by good illumination design. Improved illumination design by use of energy efficient light sources:Let us define effective lighting philosophy of the 80s. At the right place At the right time. Lighting systems account for approximately 13% of total electricity consumption in India. In India, Four diff. types of lighting systems are widely used. (1) Incandescent lamps (2) Fluorescent lamps
35

Energy Conservation Technique

(3) Mercury vapor lamps (4) Sodium vapor lamps

Terms :- A lumen is the measurement of light output from a lamp or tube. All lamps are rated in lumbers e.g. 100 incandescent lamp produces about 1750 lumens. The ratio of light output from a lamp to the electric power it consumer is Lumens/Watt. - Color redesign index (CRT) is an estimate of the closeness of color artificial light to that under natural Sunlight. It is measured on a scale of 100.

called efficacy. It is measured in

Uses:Lighting uses can be divided into three categories. (1) Ambient (2) Task (3) Accent - Ambient lighting provides security and safety. - Task lighting is to provides enough illumination so that task can be completed accurately. It is not necessary to cover entire area. - Accent lighting illuminates walls to bland more closely with naturally bright areas. Like ceilings & windows.

36

Energy Conservation Technique

Optimum lighting design :The lighting design should include consideration of initial cost, maintenance cost, energy use, and Appropriateness for the use. This could be achieved by the following means. (1) Choosing the proper light sources suited to the system such as color rendering higher efficiency etc. (2) Proper selection of luminaries to use the lamp output efficiency. (3) Proper arrangement luminaries considering the standard of lighting and structural limitations. (4) Combining local lighting and general lighting for intricate jobs requiring very high level of illumination.

Commonly used lamps (Light sources) :There are four types of lamps commonly used (1) Incandescent lamp (2) Fluorescent lamp (3) Mercury vapor and (4) Sodium vapor lamp

(a) Incandescent lamps :Incandescent lamps produce light by heating a filament to the point of glowing.

Tungsten is commonly used as a filament. The higher the filament temp, the higher
37

Energy Conservation Technique

is the efficacy and more quickly the lamp burns out. Introduction of krypton gas reduces the evaporation rate of the filament & increased efficiency. - Florescent lamps are much more efficient with efficacy ranging from 5080 lumens/watt for products Produced in India. &90 lumens/watt for products produced in developed in countries.

(1) (2) (3) (4)

New florescent fixtures Ballasted circular florescent lamps. Compact florescent lamps. New florescent fixtures.

(1)

New florescent fixtures:In new applications, the most cost effective alternative to the

incandescent fixtures is a florescent tube fixtures. Initial cost of new fixtures is high versus Rs.30/- for incandescent fixtures but operating cost of florescent tube is lower & tube needs to be replaced less often. Approximately 50% of incandescent lamp application is approximately for new florescent lamp applications are appropriate for new florescent tube fixtures.

(2) Ballasted circular florescent lamps:Ballasted circular florescent lamp is a florescent tube bent into a circle, with a ballast. in inserts into a standard lamp socket via adapter. Approximately 15% of

38

Energy Conservation Technique

incandescent lamp applications are appropriate for ballasted Circular florescent lamps.

(b) compact florescent lamps (CFLS) :Compact florescent lamps (CFLS) are more efficient and smaller in size than circular florescent lamps but also more expensive. This represents an energy savings of nearly 75% over the incandescent lamps it can come with adapter which fit into incandescent lamp sockets. Compact florescent lamps are more costly per kHz saved than new florescent fixtures or circular florescent lamps. This compact florescent will be limited to incandescent applications.

Florescent lamps :In India, the most common florescent lighting system is a 40w florescent tube plus a 12-15w magnetic ballast. 40w florescent tubes are standard throughout the world. The reason for the higher consumption in India include use of aluminum wire, poor quality lamination materials and poor stamping of laminations. So Indian ballast suffer from low P.F. problem. There are two measures to improve efficacy of florescent lamps: TLD lamps Electronic ballasts.

39

Energy Conservation Technique

TLD Lamps :The standard TL Florescent tube in India uses 40U of power tubes half this length use 20w. The TLD lamps are thinner than the TL lamps .The major disadvantages of the TLD lamps is that it will extinguish when voltage drops to 155-165 volts, whereas TL Lamps will not extinguish until voltage drops to 130v. In India, due to voltage stability problems TLD lamps are less used.

Electronic Ballasts:A magnetic core-coil ballast uses a transformer with a magnetic core coiled in a copper or aluminum wires watts . Electronic high frequency ballasts uses electronic circuitry rather than magnetic component to control current. Electronic ballast uses standard 50HZ power but operate lamps at much higher frequency. Many electronics ballasts have a high power factor In addition ,electronic ballasts eliminate flicker, weight less than ballasts are widely available ,but their uses is limited because of their high cost conventional ballasts costs Rs.60 while electronic ballasts costs from Rs.200 to Rs.300/-. Electronic ballasts have a life of 15-20 year. to control the current provided to a lamp.Maganetic ballasts operate at an input frequency of 50Hz It consumes 12-15

High Intensity Discharge Lamps:Like, fluorescent lamps ,high intensity discharging (HID) lamps produce light by discharging an electrical are through a mixtures of gases. In contract to fluorescent lamps, HID lamps use a compact arc tube in which both temperature & pressure are very high .HID lamps are more powerful .There are currently three common types of HID lamps available.
(1) Mercury Vapor (MV)

(2) Metal Halide (MH) (3) High pressure sodium(HPS) - Because of their very high light levels, HID lamps are most often used for exterior applications such as street lighting and commercial, industrial, residential flood lighting etc - The mercury vapor lamps was the first HID lamp developed, including ballast losses, the efficiency of MV lamps range from 2 to 50 lumens/watt. Their color radiation poor - Including ballast losses, metal halide lamps range in efficiency from 46-100 lumens/watt. - Including ballast logses,high pressure sodium lamps have efficient ranging from 60 lumens/watt to 110 lumens/watt standard HPS Lamps emit yellow light and have poor colour rendition. - In most application,MV lamps can be replaced with HPS lamps resulting in an energy savings of approximately 40% The monochromatic light makes it very difficult to discern the colour of cars, peoples clothing and other objects. So low

41

pressure sodium lamps provide an extremely yellow light which is not suitable for many applications.

New Development in Efficient lamps (light Sources) :Mainly there are efficient lamps developed (I) Electrode less induction lamp (II) Sulfur lamp

(I)

Electrode less Induction lamp:It was introduction to the U.S. market in 1994 It is a modification of a lamp. In an induction lamp, the power supply

standard compact fluorescent

converts ordinary 50HZ current into radio frequency power that is fed into an electrical coil. Although lamp efficacy is only about 50 lumens/Watt, the induction lamp has a very long lamp life. As the lamp has no filament, lamp life is limited only by the degradation of the lamp phosphors. Its color rendering index is approximately 82.

(II)

Sulfur lamp :The sulfur lamp is a very new high intensity discharge source. The lamps

system consists of a power source. Power source feeds radio frequency or microwave radiation to a small, rotating quartz sphere. Quartz sphere contains sulfur and a mixture of noble gases. The radiation creates molecular emissions in the sulfur gas and visible light is produced The advantage of the lamp are its long
