  1. The Energy Management Plan

  2. Lets Get Started: Establish An Energy Management Plan • Organize the conservation effort • Determine our historical energy consumption • Perform an Audit • Evaluate Potential Energy Conservation Measures (ECM’s) • Implement the Energy Conservation Measures • Monitor Power consumption & savings

  3. Establish An Energy Management Plan • Organize the conservation effort – Planning • Establish roles & responsibilities – Team • Obtain the Power Company Tariff • Establish rules or boundaries • Set goals

  4. Establish A Energy Management Plan • Organize the conservation effort – Planning • Establish roles & responsibilities - Team • Operations • Meeting the Discharge Permit is the 1st priority • May need to establish SOP’s & Guidelines • Maintenance • Needs to be pro-active • What Test instruments do we have and need • Must be aware of SOP’s • Management • May have to spend money to save money • How will the savings be used • Incentives or rewards • Others • Electrician, Design ,Replacement / Upgrade Policy • Financing, Go Green Options

  5. Establish A Energy Management Plan • Organize the conservation effort – Planning • Obtain the Power Company Tariff • We want to get the Rate Structure for our Facility • This will help we zero in on how we are charged • Understand the language • Types of Information we will see may include: • Minimum Monthly Charge – Standard Service • Energy Charge • Energy Demand • Billing Seasons or Times • Distribution Service • Power Factor • Regulatory Charges • Power Cost Adjustment • Incentives • Examine the electric bill • Train all Team members

  6. The Tariff

  7. The Power Company Tariff • Types of Information we will see may include • Type of Service • Minimum Monthly Charge – Standard Service • Energy Charge • Energy Demand • Billing Seasons or Times • Distribution Service • Power Factor • Regulatory Charges • Power Cost Adjustment • Incentives

  8. Understanding Electric Bill & Rate Structure • Basic energy charge - $ per month – the cost of having an account. • This is a monthly charge for the rate class that our facility is billed under • Energy charge over a specified kWh. This is the charge where we typically shave our cost. • Not much that can be negotiated here • On peak usage - $ per kwh used during a day from 9 AM to 10 PM (could be tiered) • Off peak usage - $ per kwh used during a day from 10 PM to 9 AM • Demand - $ per kw – based on the maximum rate of electrical use in a 15, 30, or 60 minute period during that billing period • Power factor – the ratio of real Power to apparent Power. In some cases we pay more if < 0.9

  9. Explanation of Bill Components • On peak and off peak or Seasonal • During certain times of the year, the Power company bills at different rates for time of day • On peak is usually higher and covers during the day • There may be one rate for the first 100 kwh and another for the remainder • Off peak can be lower and covers during the night • We can save money if we can move certain operations to the night time when the rate is lower

  10. Understanding Energy Charge

  11. Understanding Demand Charge 15 minutes • Stagger startups

  12. Explanation of Power Factor • Power factor (PF) • Can be an extra charge or a credit • An extra charge if PF is less than 0.9 • A credit if PF is greater than 0.9 • Most motors require more power than what is required to operate them • The ratio of what is used compared to what needs to be supplied is the PF • This can be corrected

  13. What To Do With This Information • Reducing Power always saves money • Shifting usage from on peak to off peak hours can save money • Controlling the demand can help save money – may need to monitor real-time (Process Control System) • Increasing the Power factor affects the bill – may need to hire an electrical engineer to solve the problem

  14. Establish an Energy Management Plan Organize the conservation effort - Planning • Establish rules or boundaries • Assign responsibilities • Involve others on staff • Make one change at a time • Set goals • Find resources (money) • What will or can we invest in

  15. Establish A Baseline • Determine our historical energy consumption • Compile baseline data • Past electrical bills - 12-24 months • Past Operating Reports - 12-24 months • Summarize each Process kW/hour - Inventory of Equipment
