CAN- Compressed Air Network Optimisation Algorithm! #EnergyAnalytics #EEHub

Compressed Air is one of the forms of energy that finds use in most industries, in some industries like Textiles it contributes to significant portion of the overall energy consumption.

Compressed Air Networks i.e. multiple number of compressors operating in tandem, offer potential for optimisation and improve energy productivity CFM/KW by around 5%-7% (in some cases going as high as ~12%)

Multiple factors must be looked at while considering optimising the generation and distribution of Compressed Air and the overall network.

CAN- Compressed Air Network Optimisation Algorithm

Our Algorithm works on the operational data I.e. data from each of the compressor, operating behaviour and over a period suggests optimisation possibilities resulting in better utilisation of the network, correct operation settings, resulting in energy productivity gains.

Factors/Aspects considered by the algorithm:-

  1. Weather Conditions
  2. Set Points for each compressor
  3. Operational behaviour of each compressor under the influence of the network.
  4. Maintenance

Algorithm would be available on EE Hub, users could either purchase API calls or use the algorithm as DIY tool through our web based application EnView.

 

Over Obsession with “Savings” will cost your organization dearly! #EnergyAnalytics #EnergyEfficiency

Over obsession with “Savings” starts to cost organisations dearly, anything that does not straight away give X% savings isn’t looked at with interest, potentially ignoring the fundamental value addition it brings in sustaining #EnergyEfficiency or #EnergyProductivity improvement.

Without doubt Savings either in the form energy consumption or cost reduction or a combination, is something that drives decision making process when it comes #EnergyEffciency investments.

To be frank we cannot blame industries entirely for it, i mean that is the way most of products, solutions around #EnergyEfficiency have been sold to them. People have spoken about #ROI, #Payback etc, seldom people talk about aspects like Performance Management, Automated M&V, Automated Reporting & Scientific Budgeting, aspects that have greater impact on organisational and cultural change when it comes to #EnergyEfficiency #EnergyProductivity management.

Some of the forward looking organisations have realized that having a myopic view on ways to improve #EnergyEfficiency #EnergyProductivity will cost them dearly in the longer run. They are looking at driving changes that have a long term vision and an integrated strategy, they are not looking at executing things in isolation. That is going to be the differentiator.
