Normalization Factors

Considering that Textile Process is very dynamic and energy consumption/SEC is a function of lot of variables, the Textile Sub Committee has included the following Key Process Parameters as Normalization Factors to be considered at the time of final verification.

1. Import & Export of Intermediary product

2. Value added product

3. SEC calculation of Spinning Sub-Group

4. Finished Fabric for Composite Sub Group

5. SEC calculation of Composite Sub-Group

6. Weaving Production & Knitting Production

7. Power Mix

8. Product Mix

9. Capacity utilization

10. Coal quality of CPP & PLF of CPP

11. Natural calamity/Rioting/Social unrest/ Environmental concern (Additional Environmental Equipment requirement due to major change in government policy on Environment)

BEE is also working on “Deepening of PAT Scheme”, which essentially means that PAT Scheme is going to get bigger and better! For more details refer to Page No. 8



The E-Cube Perspective:- Normalization Factor Adjustment-How does it really effect SEC calculation?

Normalization Factor Adjustment has added a new dimension to the PAT Scheme, however in morde developed markets like Europe or USA, Normalization Factor Development is a key part of overall Monitoring & Verification exercise.

In the case study below we look at how product mix impacts the energy consumption and SEC calculations and what is the right way to adjust the same?

Actual Scenario

Expected Change in UKG attributed to Product Mix

2.13%

Actual Change in UKG 2.15%

Change in UKG attributed to factor other factors

0.02%

Inference

Staistical analysis of the data shows that the variation in product mix (Normalization Factor chosen for this case study) contributed to a part of the increase, the difference is a result of other factors like Count Variation, Energy Efficiency Projects implemeted etc. Its quite clear that there has to be detailed analysis of the energy consumption as fucntion of Key Performance Parameters/ Normalization Factors for “close to accurate” assessment of SEC.

The E-Cube Advantage:- Electric Motors- World of Opportunities!

Most of you reading the article would be knowing the facts mentioned in the tab on the right hand side. So the real question is what do you do for it?

You spend Lakhs on pruchase of energy efficienct motors, but you are completely unaware about its operational parameters. Do you really know if its operating at it’s rated efficiency? If you do not, then how would you justify the investment?

How can our Motor Performance Assessment Tool help?

optimization

Enable "Data Drive" decision making process.

Maintenance History Management

Did you know? 1. Globally 45% of energy

consumed across electric motors!

2. OEMs design machines to work for a range of production process/parameters, and hence “Energy Optimization” offers a significant energy saving potential.

3. “Data Analytics” would play significant role in fostering energy efficiency practices.

4. Most of the motors in the processing industries do not operate in the optimum performance range!

5. Just replacing an existing motor with an energy efficient one does not always save energy always!

● ● ●

In most processes, the motor is made to deviate from its “optimum performance

range”, thereby providing significant energy saving opportunity.

But to evaluate that one needs to have

enough data and the ability to correctly interpret it!

Inclusion of normalization factors is an important step and also lays down quite significant importance on data analytics. Data aggregation is an important aspect to be considered prior to Data Analytics, of course if there are no data set points, no analysis can be done. Through EnView we are encouraging industries to manage their energy and production information on a daily basis.EnView a cloud based energy information management and analytics portal developed by E-Cube Energy, which provides user access to processed data which can directly be used to analyse energy performance indicators (Key Performance Parameters “KPPs”)

Over 14 Textile units are currently using EnView. By June 2015, they would access to over 500 data set points for Normalization Factor Development, besides taking advantage of the other benefits as listed below.

The India Story! - Importance of “Data” in the context of Energy Scenario in India “Big Data” has been making a lot of buzz off late, what really is the fuss about it? Can it really change the way businesses/processes run? McKinsey believes that “Big Data” is the next frontier for innovation, competition and productivity. Very recently we heard the news that IBM has unleashed “Big Data” on renewable energy forecasting and smart grid management! There are a host of companies and organisations that believe that “Big Data” is the next BIG Thing!! E-Cube Energy has been working with almost 20 industries (across sectors like Iron & Steel, Cement, Power and Textiles) in helping cut down on their energy costs/consumption, there is one thing that we noticed that almost of all of the small to medium scale industries do not take “Data” driven decisions (investing in energy efficiency), which essentially means that important investment decisions are being taken based on some “bias” and not “facts”.

Benefits of Data Analytics for Industry!

Type of information Advantage

Impact of product mix on energy consumption Assistance in budgeting and planning.

Impact of raw material mix on energy consumption Assistance in budgeting and planning.

Energy forecasting models for normalization. Assistance in Energy Accounting, Data submission to Government Authorities, Costing

Impact of weather conditions on energy consumption Assistance in Energy Accounting, Data submission to Government Authorities, Costing

Specific Energy Consumption Vs Capacity Utilization Assistance in Energy Accounting, Data submission to Government Authorities

Operational Efficiency Index Demand & Supply Side Management, Data driven decision for technology up gradation, resource optimization for setting up a similar unit

Energy Consumption Benchmarking An internal energy consumption benchmarking/index can be created for performance management and assessment.

Prioritizing Energy Efficiency Investment decisions Investments on energy efficiency measures can be prioritized, planned and made more effective.

That is where we realised that if processed data whether big or small, is available to small to medium scale industries, which could potentially

enable them to make a lot of important decisions based on facts, thereby fostering innovation, smart thinking, competition and productivity!



“Market transformation is the single biggest advantage of PAT scheme. It is not just a State issue. Focus is on all stakeholders.”

Food for thought! :- Why should PAT Scheme be made bigger?

Globally, its been widely acknowledged that “market driven mechanisms” are best suited to fight climate change and encourage both public and private sector participation. PAT Scheme in India was launched as a part of India’s strategy to fight climate change and also to showcase seriousness towards negotiating a strong climate deal.

Its not just the Government of India that has high stakes in the PAT Scheme, it’s the Designated Consumers as well. While most believe that this sheme comes as a “burden”, but there are some who belive this is the “opportunity” they were waiting for. Its true that PAT Scheme is an amazing opportunity to take Energy Efficiency from “Boiler Room to Board Room”, increase investments in R&D that fosters energy efficiency at plant level and in Data Analytics.

All this will take energy efficiency to a whole new level, we at E-Cube Energy call that Energy Efficiency Version 3.0!

Four Ways to make PAT Scheme Bigger & Better

Widen the market size within the existing eight sectors. Lower the threshold energy value; bring in more number of units under the ambit of the PAT Scheme.

Bring in other sectors like Sugar, Automobile, Telecom, Data centre’s etc

Delink off Grid Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency. Provide some incentives for investments in off Grid Renewable Energy Projects, but that still has to be consumed efficiently.

Provide Road Map and Targets for next 3-4 cycles, it helps in creating long term value for all stakeholders. Just like the EU ETS!
