Abstract
The electrical and fuel energy consumption for seven years period was collected for rolling mill company, Kano northwest Nigeria. Monthly energy consumption data were gathered and analyzed. The average electrical energy and thermal energy consumption per tonne of product for the period considered are 34.04GJ/Tonne and 99.74GJ/Tonne respectively. The energy end users were identified as electric furnace, DC main motor, Compressor machine, Air-conditioning, Lightning and Electrical equipment. Regression techniques were used to correlate the monthly energy consumption with product weights in Tons. The Coefficient of determinant (R2) for electrical energy consumption was 0.8458 while R2 for fuel oil energy consumption was 0.7773 indicating strong correlation for electrical and fuel oil energy consumption.
Highlights
Energy is a primary input for almost all economic activities and is, vital for the improvement in quality of life
The industrial sector consumes over one third of any nations primary energy but government and private enterprises have kept watchful eyes in their use of energy by ensuring efficient utilization of their energy resources [5], but traditionally energy conservation and energy efficiency has not been given high priority for many industries and private sectors in Nigeria, this was because of low energy price which was sustained by government subsidy on various forms of energy especially fossil fuel and electricity
Seven years (2000 - 2006) data for product weight, electrical and fuel oil energy consumption were obtained from the steel rolling mill company and Power Holding Company Nigeria (PHCN), regression techniques was used in the analysis
Summary
Energy is a primary input for almost all economic activities and is, vital for the improvement in quality of life. Electrical energy consumption at the raw mill sector machinery was 41% while the dispatch sector was 10% in electrical energy consumption In this presentation, seven years (2000 - 2006) data for product weight, electrical and fuel oil energy consumption were obtained from the steel rolling mill company and Power Holding Company Nigeria (PHCN), regression techniques was used in the analysis. Seven years (2000 - 2006) data for product weight, electrical and fuel oil energy consumption were obtained from the steel rolling mill company and Power Holding Company Nigeria (PHCN), regression techniques was used in the analysis The aim of this present work, is to study how energy is been used, data acquisition and formulating energy equations using linear regression for effective growth of the Company
