All Types of Wires and Cables. Why Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation? Continuous Increase in Cost of Energy
There is increase of 100 to 300% in cost of energy in last 6 year. Depleting sources of primary energy like Coal, Oil, and Natural Gas
World oil & Gas reserves are estimated to last for just 45 years and 65 year respectively
Continuous Increase in Demand of Energy Due to Industria
lization & Improvement in standard of living there is continuous increase in demand of Energy Increased Competition due to Liberalization and Globalization
This has driven to corporate world to adopt and implement various cost cutting and quality improvement measures. Energy cost is very significant cost in economy of most of the industries, utilities and service sector. Energy contributes a significant part of operational costs across the globe, as high as 30% in many process industries. Environmental issue on environment, particularly climate change arising from greenhouse gas emissions. Scope of 5% to 20% saving in energy cost even in professionally managed organization. Our Experience shows that even in the most professionally - Managed Companies it is possible to Save 5 to 20% Energy - Cost with very, very attractive payback period. It is mostly possible by better operating practices, up gradation in instrumentation & control system, modification in inefficient plant & also technical up gradation etc. Energy conservation in existing facilities helps control costs and can be used to finance equipment replacements. In this context, to serve the Industries, utilities and service sector, through better and viable energy cost cutting technologies and measures, Grid Associates has been established. Because The first Step To conserve energy is, To conduct an Energy Audit of Plant / Building. Why Electrical Safety Audit? Electricity is boom for mankind. Electricity is good servant but Bad Master. It makes human life very easy & comfortable but it can prove to be very dangerous if circuits are not properly protected. Electricity constitutes one of the major sources of ignition for fire
accidents and explosions.circuits. Besides equipment damage and property loss, electrical hazards also include injuries and fatalities to personnel due to electric shock. Electricity having become an indispensable part of our life, electrical risks is to be manage effectively. HAZARDS
The following hazards are within the use of Electricity:
Primary hazards Electrical shock Burns
Fire and explosion: Spark and Static electricity. Secondary Hazards
(a) Persons falling from height
(b) Dropping of tools and object Besides equipment damage and property loss, electrical hazards may lead to injuries and fatalities to personnel due to electric shock and burns. Hence electrical safety audit is very Important. Why Power Quality Audit? Power quality is of major concern to all types of industries and commercial buildings, Data Centers, especially those operating with critical machinery and equipment's. Poor Power quality leads to problems of Voltage Sag, Voltage Swell, Voltage Spike, Harmonic distortion, Voltage Unbalance etc This in turn into leads to major problems like break-downs, erratic behavior of equipment, production interruptions, excess energy consumption etc. Modern industries require automation of their operation enabling them to produce quality products and also for mass production. The conventional systems are being replaced by modern Power Electronic systems, bringing a variety of advantages to the users. Classic examples are DC & AC Drives, UPS, soft starters, etc. Since the Thyristor converter technology is rapidly gaining ground in the modern industrial plants, the power supply systems are contaminated as the ideal sinusoidal current and voltage waveform s are getting distorted. This in turn is affecting the performance of the equipment in the electrical network. Savings in energy bills due to reduced losses Accurate measurement Reduced KVA demand Improved sy Better capacity network Better production rate and quality due to reduced interruptions Reduction in equipment
Why Earth Resistance Measurements? The faults in any electrical system are unavoidable. Every Electrical Equipment, appliance system must be earthed or grounded to obtain a low resistance path for dissipation of current into the earth. Earthing plays an importance role in Electrical system for safe and proper operation of any electrical installation. Our experience shows that, earthing is generally neglected area of electrical installation, as operation of system is not immediately stopped due to poor earthing. In the field, the condition of earthing is generally poor. Normally earth resistance, leakage current is not measured either because of prevailing tedious and time consuming method or due to the lack of availability of handy instrument, this negligence may lead to complex problem. Failure & Problem in Earthing may lead to Electrical Shock Electrical fire Over voltage Equipment Failures & malfunction, Specially in Computers, Electronics equipment's & motors Hence monitoring of earthing system through measurement of equipment wise earth
resistance measurement and correcting the same wherever necessary.
