A review on energy saving strategies in industrial sector
Section snippets
Energy consumption
Energy is a basic need for different purposes in industrial facilities around the world. Huge amount of energy needed for countries with faster economic growth. Energy is thus a crucial factor for economic competitiveness and employment. However, global population and energy needs are increased hand-in-hand. This concern must be addressed by the international community to overcome any shortage of energy resources in the future.
World marketed energy consumption is projected to increase by 33%
Energy management
Energy management is the strategy of meeting energy demand when and where it is needed. This can be achieved by 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 [11], [12]. Energy management began to be considered one of the main functions of industrial management in the 1970s as the result of the rising price of energy and reports about
Energy saving technologies
Applications of technologies have tremendous potential to reduce industrial energy sue. Industrial energy use can also be reduce using variable speed drive in motor operated system, high efficient motors, efficient nozzles in compressed-air system, waste heat recovery system in boilers etc. Some of them are discussed as below.
Industrial energy saving by policies
Energy Policy is the manner by which a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy development including energy production, distribution and consumption. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, incentives to investment, agreements, guidelines for energy conservation, taxation, energy efficiency standards, energy guide labels [37]. Energy policies are used widely in the industrial sector to meet specific energy use or energy
Conclusion
In this review, various energy savings strategies such as energy savings by management, technologies and policies have been reviewed. The role of energy management is vital and has greatly expanded in industries. Top management of the company participates in planning various energy management projects on a regular basis. It has been found that energy saving technologies for example use of high efficient electric motors, reducing boiler flue gas temperature, use of variable speed drive to match
