  1. Industrial Standards Framework and Energy Management Aimee McKane, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

  2. ? Industrial Systems • Steam and motor-driven systems account for approximately for more than 50% of final manufacturing energy use worldwide • Energy savings potential from cost-effective optimization of these systems for energy efficiency is estimated at 10-12 EJ of primary energy1 • A global effort to cost-optimize industrial systems for energy efficiency could achieve these energy savings through • the application of commercially available technologies • in existing and new industrial facilities 1 2007 IEA Statistics

  3. Elements of System Optimization • Evaluating work requirements • Matching system supply to these requirements • Eliminating or reconfiguring inefficient uses and practices (throttling, open blowing, etc) • Changing out or supplementing existing equipment (motors, fans, pumps, compressors) to better match work requirements and increase operating efficiency

  4. Elements of System Optimization • Applying sophisticated control strategies and variable speed drives that allow greater flexibility to match supply with demand • Identifying and correcting maintenance problems • Upgrading ongoing maintenance practices

  5. Why aren’t industrial systems more energy efficient? • Most managers are unaware that these systems are inefficient • System performance is not measured • No data = no way to assess performance or performance improvement

  6. Why aren’t industrial systems more energy efficient? • Technical skill is required to optimize motor-driven systems- a one-size-fits-all approach misses most of the savings • Although training and educational programs in the U.S., U.K., China and elsewhere have proven effective in teaching these skills • these efforts are resource-intensive • only reach a small portion of the market

  7. Additional barriers to efficiency • System optimization knowledge resides with the individual who has been trained- it is not institutionalized • Trained individuals leave or transfer and take this knowledge with them • Processes change over time and inefficiencies can re-occur How can system energy-efficiency be maintained in this complex, changing environment?

  8. Learning from Process Management Successful industrial processes are also complex and changing, but they are: • Consistent • Adaptable • Resource efficient • Continually improving

  9. Learning from Process Management These goals are often achieved through widespread adoption of a management system to maintain and improve quality, such as: • International Organization for Standardization (ISO) • Six Sigma • Total Quality Management What if system energy efficiency were fully integrated into these management systems?

  10. Why ISO? Why select ISO as the management system of choice? • Widely adopted in many countries • Serves as an international trade facilitation mechanism • Accepted as a principal source of standards for energy-consuming industrial equipment • Well-established system of independent auditors to assure compliance and maintain certification • By the end of 2004, more than 670,000 certified facilities in 154 countries participating in ISO 9001:2000 and 90,500 certified facilities participating in ISO 14001 * * From The 2004 ISO Survey

  11. Linking ISO and Energy Efficiency Use a top-down, bottom-up approach to industrial motor system efficiency through implementation of an Industrial Standards Framework, which includes: • Energy-efficiency standards (energy management, industrial systems) • Energy efficiency policies (targeted agreements, incentives, recognition) • Training (both awareness and expert level) • Tools (system optimization library)

  12. Why is a Standards Framework Needed? A standards framework would: • Provide achievable energy efficiency targets • Be complementary to systems optimization training • Offer technical guidance to factory personnel • Require written procedures and documentation to ensure that energy savings will be sustained

  13. Industrial Standards Framework Goal: integrate energy efficiency projects into existing ISO management structures for continuous improvement

  17. Industrial Standards Framework Top Down- Market Pull National governments: • Issue energy management standard • Provide access to training on how to comply with standard • Provide access to tools (Industrial Systems Optimization Library) to document compliance • Recognize companies that make outstanding efforts to improve the operation of their motor systems • Develop agreements with industrial sectors that establish plant-specific energy efficiency targets

  18. Industrial Standards Framework Bottom Up- Market Push • Build on existing industrial plant commitments to ISO certification • Create an Industrial Systems Optimization Library with documentation that companies can easily incorporate into their QEM Manual • Provide training to plant personnel and energy efficiency organizations- how to identify system improvement opportunities and use the library • Engage existing supplier/customer relationships to promote greater energy efficiency

  19. Industrial Standards Framework • Train consultants and suppliers to support a system-based approach • Check results- regular audits by ISO ensure that companies comply with their plans

  20. Independent Verification of Compliance • ISO 9000/14000 programs aimed at consistent operating culture and continuous improvement • Audit requirements verify compliance to written procedures and policies • Efficient operation becomes factory culture

  21. Results • More completed energy efficiency projects • Project results are periodically checked by independent auditors • Improved energy efficient industrial systems • Sustainability
