RENEWABLE ENERGY STRATEGIES FOR MANUFACTURERS BEN D.S. COLLINS RENEWABLE ENERGY DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR 414.831.1421 GREEN@PIEPERPOWER.COM WWW.PIEPERRENEWABLE.COM
TOPICS • Energy Efficiency Measures • Renewable Energy Technologies • Solar • Photovoltaics • Thermal • Wind • Reducing Operating Costs • Photovoltaic Case study
ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES • Where is energy used?
ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES • Where is energy used?
ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES What should be addressed: • Motor Loads (54%) • Lighting (10%) • HVAC (12%)
RE TECHNOLOGIES - SOLAR Photovoltaics (Distributed Generation - DG) • Urban Locations • Virtually Silent • Low Maintenance • Lowers Peak Energy Usage • Lessens the immediate need to upgrade distribution infrastructure
RE TECHNOLOGIES - SOLAR Solar Thermal (Water or Space Heating) • Urban Locations • Virtually Silent • Low Maintenance • Can directly address: • Process heating needs (11%) • HVAC (12%)
RE TECHNOLOGIES - WIND Wind (DG) • Rural Locations • Siting • Maintenance of 2%-5% of Installed cost • Lowers Energy Consumption from the Utility
REDUCING OPERATING COSTS Motor Upgrades and VFD’s • Reduce motor related energy use by 20% Lighting Retrofits: • Reduce lighting energy use by 30% Renewable Technologies lower overall consumption for 20-50 years
REDUCING OPERATING COSTS Photovoltaic Case Study:
REDUCING OPERATING COSTS Photovoltaic Case Study: - Assumes $1.25/kWh FOE Incentive 25% max - 30% maximum - Direct Reduction in Operating Costs
REDUCING OPERATING COSTS Photovoltaic Case Study:
RE STRATEGIES FOR MANUFACTURERS • First Step is Reduction through Energy Efficiency • Renewable Energy Technologies: • Can help reduce operating costs • Need to be part of long-term strategic planning • “Right thing to do” QUESTIONS?
