Why is an Energy Audit required?
Every organization requires an energy auditor to evaluate the current energy performance of their organization and consult them about the solutions along with the measures which have to be taken. In evaluation, the process auditor has to gather the data, establish a benchmark and then create a model as per the industry standard to get the results. This process consumes a lot of time due to disorganized structures or the auditor has to monitor for a span of time to verify the conformity level of manual data gathering and it comes with a burden of heavy monetary charges as a large time of involvement. Thus, the IoT system solution is a boon for the organizations as well as for the energy auditors because it reduces the auditing cost as well as simplifies the job of the auditor either related to data gathering or KPI identification to reduce energy consumption along with overall health improvement of equipment as per industry standards.
As it is known energy audit is done not only to identify energy saving potential but also helps in understanding the efficient use of energy within available resources. To identify the energy saving potential for any organization, the auditing process required data of all machines of every zone. Manual data collection and monitoring does not provide flexibility and authenticity to complete this process easily thus, implementation of IoT solution in organization becomes imperative. IoT systems provide all necessary details about electric parameters on a single dashboard and through this platform all reports can be downloaded within a second. IoT solution makes record keeping, benchmarking of parameters and progress report lenient and trouble-free and any machine can be tracked through the IoT system.
Data Collection
In manufacturing or production units continuous manual tracking of all the machinery is not an easy task & electricity utilization by these facilities is very inconsistent and expensive. Thus, IoT solutions become necessary for an energy auditor because they collect accurate data on electricity consumption, voltage, frequency, power factor, voltage ratings, phase power etc. on a regular interval which makes the facility auditing process easier. And most important within a single dashboard respective authorities of organization and auditor can get all alerts and all reports on a single click.
KPI’s Identification:-
The major work of an energy auditor is to identify equipment that consumes more energy than standard and find the root cause behind that. The traditional procedure takes a long time to perform but through the IoT solution, it becomes easier because the dashboard provides all the necessary parametric data of the instrument. Once all related parameters are gathered then it becomes easy to develop the KPIs and action plan to rectify the issue of excessive power consumption. It is also fruitful to monitor the results immediately after changes which laid down an easy path for energy auditors to reevaluate the process if necessary.
Authenticity & Time Saving:-
It is very common for the company workers to concede information crucial to the facility and indirectly affects its productivity but the IoT solution gives no scope for the client to be untruthful to the Auditor or vice-versa which makes the auditing process more authentic. IoT solutions cut down all the initial time of the auditor like data gathering, verification etc. which provides leverage to work closely with standards within a short period. Thus, an IoT solution makes the auditing process smooth and less time-consuming.
Benchmarking:-
Benchmarking of processes plays a dominant role to gather the deviation in the process and identify the solution and its measure. An IoT system provides a platform to create benchmarking of the system to the auditor and plant team according to the industrial standards. Thus, It cuts down all the variability analysis steps which ultimately helps organizations to save time and money.
Conclusion
Time is the most valuable part of a production system along with the continuous development of an organization. Introducing the IIoT system into the organization not only helps the energy auditor by simplifying the auditing process but it also helps the plant team to understand their problem on a vast level and helps to save money and time.
