5 Today’s Objectives 1.Understand audit types and the process of analyzing projects 2.Understand and use load profiles to identify opportunities. 3.Prepare for Addt’l Building Opportunity Assessments Energy Use Load Profiles Value of Using Data Loggers Calculating Energy Usage and Savings

6 Level 1: Preliminary Audit Level 2: Energy Survey & Analysis Level 3: Investment Grade Audit Budget CapitalImplement Budgeted Projects ASHRAE Audits 6 Implement Operational and Behavioral Opportunities Implement Operational and Behavioral Projects

7 7 Audit TypeObjectiveWhoAudit Information PreliminaryIdentify potential opportunities 3 rd Party or in- house staff Natalie to discuss PPL Electric Utilities Audit Involvement Energy SurveyComprehensive identification of opportunities Capital Projects – 3 rd party Operational Projects – In-house or 3 rd Party Investment Grade Accurate financial evaluation of potential projects Usually 3 rd Party Audits

8 Energy Data Benchmark energy consumption Compare buildings Prioritize efforts Track building performance Determine energy savings Evaluate building performance Identify & Quantify Opportunities Analyze usage patterns Estimate energy savings

9 Energy kWh therms Btu kBtu Basic Terms Power kW Horsepower therms/hr Btu/hr Energy: The capacity available (battery) or the amount of work performed (expended). Power: The rate at which energy is used

10

11 Energy Charge The amount of energy used in kWh. Sometimes broken down into on-Peak or off Peak rates. Your utility should identify the on/off peak periods. Demand Charge: Based on the highest “average” power requirement measured over any interval period during the billing cycle (usually 15, 30, or 60 minutes), identified in kilowatts (kW). This charge covers Monthly Demand costs and costs related to sub-transmission system and substation upgrades and maintenance. (May also be on a Time-of-use rate) Reactive Demand: Charge based on the Power Factor (ratio between kW & KVAR) Typically billed for charges above a specific threshold level that is related to your average power factor example <0.85 Electric Bill Courtesy of BetterBricks

12 Power Factor Direction of Travel (Real Power) Total Power (Apparent) Non-Working (Reactive Power)

13 Transmission Charge: This charge includes Scheduling, Dispatch, System Control, Reactive Supply, Regulation and Load Following costs. Facility Charge: The average of the 2 highest demand months (kW) for the last 12 months (PGE with this rate schedule.) Includes shared primary and secondary wire, as well as distribution transformer costs. Electric Bill Courtesy of BetterBricks

14 Interval Data: Energy Usage data that is time stamped in intervals Technically- your monthly bill is interval data, but the interval is somewhat less than desired. It has an interval of 28-33 days depending on the month and the billing cycle. The data is much more meaningful in intervals of 1 hour or less. 15 minute interval data is probably the smallest increment you will need. What is interval data? Courtesy of BetterBricks

15 Local Utility Energy Supplier Energy Management System (EMS) Switchboard/Switchgear Manufacturer Submeters or other privately owned meters Getting Interval Data

16 Energy Calculations kW time Load profile showing demand vs time The area under the curve is the Energy (kWh) used. From www.BetterBricks.com

17 Calendar Summary

18 Scheduling Optimum / Start Stop Staging Occupant After Hours Use Typical Problems identified

19 Weekends Weekdays Using Interval Data for Discovery From www.BetterBricks.com

37 Data logging: One leg Average voltage Equipment

38 Single Phase Power = Volts x Amps x Power Factor Three Phase Power ( Balanced Circuit ) = Volts average x Amps(1 phase) x Power Factor x √3 Energy Used kWh = kW x Hours Operated Calculating Electrical Power & Energy

39 Simple – amps over time and one-time voltage Example Calculation: Three phase power Average 20.5 Amps, 462 Volts 0.75 Power Factor (estimated) kW = Amps x Volts x 1.73 x Power Factor ÷ 1000 kW = 20.5 Amps x 462 Volts x 1.73 x 0.75 ÷ 1000 kW = 12.3 kW Energy Calculations 39

40 Converting kW to kWh: Assume Amp readings every 15 minutes kWh = (15 min / 60 min) * kW kWh = 0.25*12.3 kW kWh = 3.075 Energy Calculations

41 Actions to Take 1.Complete internal Opportunity Assessments for all remaining sites 2.Identify available technical and financial resources for further analysis Complete appropriate analysis for all potentially viable opportunities 3.Implement as appropriate
