Energy Consumption

Energy Consumption (Lacs kWh/year) 2013-14 2014-15 Purchased (Lacs kWh / year) 11.78 12.66 Through DG sets (Lacs kWh / year) 0.41 0.43 Total consumption of electricity 12.19 13.08

Energy consumed is being monitored on daily basis including shop wise energy consumption along with MSEDCL meter reading. Specific energy consumption for Saswad plant operation is calculated on daily basis and performance is being monitored and shared with all departmental, divisional heads. At KPCL – Saswad plant, total 13 nos. of energy meters are installed for the verification of shop wise energy consumption.

Company has dedicated software (GAGEtrak 6.70 Build 038) for the monitoring on calibration frequency for measuring & monitoring instruments wherein we can schedule calibration requirements and alert is generated before due date. All the energy meters are calibrated once in three years. For any organization, control of energy and fuel can be achieved by starting consumption monitoring. KPCL- Saswad plant has started monitoring of energy, water and oil by installation of meters and systems. After installation of meters, we started to monitor the consumption pattern on daily basis and reports are being circulated to all department head including top management.

Energy Conservation

Year Product Production in Specific Energy % Reduction Cylinder Consumption over 2013 - 14 2013 - 14 Refrigeration 6909 145 kWh/Cylinder — Compressor 2014 - 15 Refrigeration 7664 139.9 kWh/Cylinder 3.52% Compressor

201 Energy Conservation Projects implemented in year 2014-15 25 Nos. Annual Electricity Saving - Lacs kWh/ Year 4.29 Annual Cost Saving - Rs. Lacs / Year 53.55 Investment – Rs. Lacs/ Year 12.88 Payback Period – Months 3.00

Energy consumption reduction programs are part of integrated management system where in monitoring of programs is done and measurements are recorded in M & M plan. Through internal auditing the progress is being monitored. Also during MRM review concerns and progress of management programs are reviewed.

Below are the benchmarks, which KPCL follows  Use only 5 star rated air  For any new system, best conditioners available energy efficient  For new requirement of system will be used. lighting load, only LED based  Vacuum cleaning lighting  Energy meters  For new project energy  Inverter based welding efficient motors will be used machines  For flow regulation, variable  Air circulator frequency drive will be used.  Day light sheets  All in one desktop Area wise energy consumption analysis for ACR-equipment operation is carried out. Below chart shows the shop wise energy consumption pattern.

Implemented projects  LED lamps at shop floor area  Energy efficient electric screw  Up gradation of SR furnace compressor  Oil metering unit at test bed  Energy efficient welding machine  AC drive at paint booth  Energy saver for air conditioners  Water filtration unit  LED based lighting system
