Active Energy Efficiency

THE ENERDIS SOLUTIONS

Foreword
Measurement is our business!
ithin the Chauvin Arnoux Group, a major player in the implementation of energy management and control systems, Enerdis is positioned as a provider of global solutions focusing on energy efficiency. Drawing on more than ten years' experience in energy management, Enerdis is further strengthening its position regarding energy efficiency with the recent launch of particularly innovative products and systems such as the Enerium power monitors or the E.online management software. Consuming less and better inevitably means diagnosis of the installations.This is based on exhaustive measurement of all the parameters needed to detect potential savings and propose initial orientations for improvement. Measurement is therefore the foundation for optimizing energy efficiency, supervising your electrical networks and fairly allocating the costs. Enerdis helps you to consolidate your investment plan and assess the return on investment, to set savings targets and measure them, and to propose suitable solutions for implementation. Measurement is therefore an essential component of the diagnosis, the monitoring and the improvement plan. It guarantees effective long-term energy efficiency.

Energy, a major concern in an increasingly restrictive context

Energy efficiency: the stakes Economic stakes
Saving or optimizing the energy consumed is part of a sustainable development approach backed by many industrial countries, particularly in Europe, in the context of the Kyoto protocol. These agreements have led to gradual but constant tightening of the regulations, with the target of reducing CO2 emissions by 20 % by 2020. Whatever the sector of activity, whether industrial, tertiary, infrastructure or local authorities, energy efficiency is becoming a major issue. The struggle to remain competitive, rising energy costs, the imperative of increasing profits: the economic constraints are so heavy that reducing and/or optimizing our energy spending is now a crucial concern. In industry, for example, it is widely accepted that there is considerable potential for savings which may represent up to 30 % of our current energy consumption (source: Ademe).

Regulatory and environmental stakes

The majority of European and North American countries have set up procedures, standards, regulations or codes of practice designed to measure the energy performance of industrial processes or buildings. Furthermore, there are increasingly tight legal constraints, with ever more demanding requirements designed to manage energy use in order to stabilize or even reduce the environmental impact. Application of these directives and regulations calls for a system capable of measuring, monitoring, optimizing and qualifying the operations needed to ensure compliance.

This is therefore a crucial issue and measurement is becoming an essential part of a market growing more structured.

Chauvin Arnoux - Specific Measurements

Diagnosis

Detailed analysis

Analyse the energy bills to identify: - any energy-hungry installations, - the production processes, - the cost structure, - the organization in place. Build up knowledge of the installation by specific measurements to gain a clear idea of the types of energies and utilities to be managed, as well as the financial objective to be achieved.

Analyse very closely the behaviour of the installation by means of long-term measurement campaigns leading to a detailed audit to serve as a reference for defining the Measurement and Verification Plan (MVP) Assess the potential energy savings and determine the requirements as precisely as possible by: - improvement of the power factor, - a power survey with measurement of the energy consumed, - detection of heat loss.

of the approach
The methodology usually followed is divided into four phases, each involving a precise objective, clearly-identified actors and detailed deliverables. One of Enerdis's missions is to accompany its contacts, customers and expert channels in this approach to propose solutions suited to their situation in the context of a global, long-term approach.

The Measurement and Verification Plan, an essential tool for any energy efficiency project
Transparent, exhaustive, precise and documented, the Measurement and Verification Plan (MVP) is a supporting document describing the methods for measuring and assessing potential energy savings in the company. It specifies the operations to be set up to ensure that the project is effective and provides monitoring reports concerning the verifiable savings.

Transparency

Exhaustive coverage

Accuracy

The actors of the project, whether managers, financial administrators or production managers, need to have access to all the relevant data for monitoring in order to handle their mission in the context of the MVP. The system's versatility must therefore give all the people involved simple, quick and secure access to the required information, whether the project is outsourced (EPC) or handled in-house.

In the context of an energy performance project, all the parameters liable to significantly influence energy savings must be measured. The measurement of a site must therefore be considered overall, but also at the level of one or more processes (workshops, buildings) covered by energy saving measures. This helps to manage energy and utility budgets precisely, while boosting the credibility of the operations specified in the Measurement and Verification Plan.

The content of the reports and the accuracy of the performance measurements are crucial for ensuring that the MVP is credible and is accepted by all the people involved. The accuracy of the measurements, the equipment used for monitoring and the details of the test procedures are all data which help to put a value on the gains when calculating the return on investment. In this way, the MVP contributes arguments to obtain project financing from potential investors.

Audit
With its team of specialized engineers, the ENERDIS Audit & Troubleshooting Department proposes services to audit your electrical networks. The aim is to help you identify the main features of your industrial, tertiary or infrastructure networks. he cost of the disturbances caused by power supply faults and deterioration of electrical power supply quality is a major concern for industrial companies.To deal with harmonic distortion, outages, voltage variations and transient phenomena, the best solution is prevention.

Study of harmonic pollution

Measurement of harmonic pollution and evaluation at different points in the electricity distribution system Correlation with start-up of loads causing disturbances Overall assessment of harmonic pollution over a cycle representative of the site's load profile Recommendation of filtering solutions

The consequences of harmonic currents on the network: often underestimated; harmonic currents cause problems on the distribution network and on installations: overheating of the neutral overheating of the transformers untimely tripping of the protective devices overloading of the capacitors skin effect in the conductors

Energy quality
Measurement of the energy quality parameters and compliance with the EN 50160 standard Evaluation of non-standard parameters and analysis of the risk for the equipment and loads downstream Evaluation of the interconnection parameters over several integration periods, for measurement periods of up to one week

Study of the load profile

Solutions for reactive power compensation

he large number of loads causing "phase shift" on electrical distribution networks leads to deterioration of the power factor. This deterioration has a direct cost which can be assessed simply by reading the reactive power consumption on your electricity bill. But this reactive power on the network also has indirect consequences and costs:

ENERDIS recommends and commercializes compensation solutions adapted to your energy and economic performance objectives.

increase in the subscribed power from the energy supplier, joule losses and voltage drops in the circuits, overload on the transformer and the power supply tables, oversizing and precautions at the level of the protective devices, deterioration in the quality of the electrical installation

Reactive power compensation is an effective response for consuming less electrical energy more efficiently.
ENERCAP
The installation of capacitor banks can provide an effective response to these phenomena observed, as long as they are set up according to standard professional practice in full knowledge of the installation's parameters and operating modes. Automatic compensation with electromechanical switching for a fluctuating load profile. Oversized or detuned-reactor ranges available. Enerdis usually helps with implementation of reactive power compensation by: examining the bills from the energy supplier measuring and analysing the operating parameters at different points in the installation analysis of the network structure and the operating cycles of the loads determination of the requirements and the control mode of the capacitor banks sizing of the capacitor bank to take into account the degree of harmonic pollution which may require additional filtering equipment
