66 Figure 10: Reduction in T&D losses Benefits Energy management is the process of monitoring, controlling, and conserving energy in a building or organization. Typically, this involves the following benefits • Metering our energy consumption and collecting the data. • Finding opportunities to save energy, and estimating how much energy each opportunity could save. Generally, we would typically analyse our meter data to find and quantify routine energy loss, and also investigate the energy savings that could be made by replacing equipment (e.g. lighting). • Taking action to target the opportunities to save energy (i.e. tackling the routine waste and replacing or upgrading the inefficient equipment). • Tracking our progress by analysing our meter data to see how well our energy-saving efforts have worked. • Energy management is the means to control and reduce organization’s energy consumption and this is important because it enables to reduce costs – this is becoming increasingly important as energy costs rise. • Reduce carbon emissions and the environmental damage that they cause as well as the cost-related implications of carbon taxes and the like, organization may be keen to reduce its carbon footprint to promote a green, sustainable image. • Reduce our dependence on the fossil fuels that are becoming increasingly limited in supply. • Reduce risk – the more energy you consume, the greater the risk that energy price increases or supply shortages could seriously affect your profitability. Achievements, Continuous Updating and Innovations Monitoring of Power factor Maintaining our Contract Demand and load on grid in case of Open Access Power Supply Power Factor monitoring through our EMS system is giving us benefits such as maintaining power factor of our system near to unity and rebate in electricity bill every month. Below are the recent month wise achievements for JK White Cement Works, Gotan. Better monitoring of grid load helps us in maintaining our contract demand and protects our system from exceeding contract demand and from huge penalty by electricity board. Minimising transmission and Distribution Losses EMS is a platform which enables us to analyse our T & D losses and provides us all the parameters on our system to rectify issues and monitor our system.
