Residential Feeder Energy Audit Analysis and Recommendation with Aid of Software

Abstract

AbstractEnergy conservation plays a crucial role in terms of economic and environmental benefit. Currently, the society depends more on non-renewable energy resources which is to be converted as renewable sources. Hence, renewable sources dependency rate can be reduced by energy conservation methods like energy audit. Energy audit process results in reduction of energy wastage, greenhouse gas emissions and demand for non-renewable energy. In today’s scenario, residential energy auditing plays a key role in energy conservation. Consequently, in this chapter we analysed residential feeder through energy audit process which gives an opportunity to find the area of losses and conserve the energy in an efficient manner. As a result of the energy audit process, we suggested three types of recommendations using the ETAP software. On the implementation of the recommendations, the excepted power savings will be recorded and suggested for implementation.KeywordsEnergy auditPower consumptionPower managementResidential audit
