  GENERAL_ASPECTS_OF_ENERGY_MANAGEMENT_AND_ENERGY_AUDIT (CHAPTER 4:ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND AUDIT) Definition and Objectives of Energy Management The fundamental goal of energy management is to produce goods and provide services with the least cost and least environmental effect. The definition of energy management is: “The judicious and effective use of energy to maximize profits (minimize costs) and enhance competitive positions” (or) “The strategy of adjusting and optimizing energy, using systems and procedures so as to reduce energy requirements per unit of output while holding constant or reducing total costs of producing the output from these systems” The objectives of Energy Management include, 1.To achieve and maintain optimum energy procurement and utilisation, throughout the organization 2.To minimise energy costs / waste without affecting production and quality 3. To minimise environmental effects. Successful energy management must combine an effective strategy with the rig...

  GENERAL_ASPECTS_OF_ENERGY_MANAGEMENT_AND_ENERGY_AUDIT (CHAPTER 3:BASICS OF ENERGY AND ITS VARIOUS FORMS) Introduction Energy is described as the ability to do work or as the ability to carry a heat transfer. Energy is required for doing work or involving in a heat transfer. A body is said to possess energy when it has the capacity to do work or the capacity to carry a heat transfer with another body. Work and heat transfer are the transfer of energy from one body to another-so they are called transitory energy. In practical terms energy is what we use to manipulate the world around us, whether by exciting our muscles, by using electricity or by using mechanical devices such as automobiles. Broadly, energy can be classified as potential (stored) energy and kinetic (working) energy. Potential Energy Potential energy is the energy a body possesses because of its position or configuration. For example, driving head of a pile driver has potential energy of position when raised above. ...
