Cost of energy is a key component of the overall costs incurred by organisations in most industries. It is thus imperative for companies to look carefully
at their energy costs, and deploy strategies to manage them. While there is limited control that companies have over energy prices, they can use levers
like changing the energy mix, reducing consumption, and smart procurement strategies to their advantage.
Grid power tariffs are expected to continue to increase due to increasing fuel costs and regulatory intervention to reduce the losses incurred by distribution
utilities. As such, companies need to look beyond the traditional sourcing of power from the grid. There are currently various options that allow companies
to do so.
Captive power presents an attractive opportunity to ensure uninterrupted power supply, as well as keep costs under control. It also offers the industries
a choice of various fuel options, including renewables. In the recent past, crude oil prices have been declining, which has made diesel- and other liquid
fuel-based captive power plants attractive. Further, there are rental captive power solutions available that allow companies to quickly gain access to
captive power, without worrying about high capex and operations and maintenance (O&M) expertise.
Short-term power purchase is another option industries can utilise to manage peaks and troughs in demand, and reduce their power costs. While the
volume of power available for trading at the power exchanges has been growing, prices have stayed at moderate levels over the past few years. The shortterm power market also provides an avenue for companies with captive power plants to sell their excess power and earn revenues.
While managing the cost of energy supply is one option, industries also need to aggressively adopt energy efficiency measures to reduce consumption.
The use of energy-efficient motors, pumps, compressors, lighting systems, variable frequency drives (VFDs), controls and sensors presents a saving
potential of 10-30 per cent. A disciplined approach to predictive maintenance of this equipment can also lead to energy savings.
Waste heat recovery (WHR) presents an excellent potential in all sectors. A large quantity of hot flue gases is generated from boilers, kilns, ovens and
furnaces. The key avenues for recovery of this waste heat are exhaust flue gas, steam condensate, radiative heat, etc. Apart from the direct benefit of
increased process efficiency, it also offers indirect benefits of reduction in equipment size, lower pollution and lower auxiliary consumption.
The first cycle of the Perform, Achieve, Trade (PAT) mechanism of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), which targeted reduction in energy consumption
by 6.686 mtoe, comes to an end in March 2015. The verification of the actual achievement through energy audits will pave the way for a market for energy
saving certificates (EScerts).
This mission of this conference is to provide a platform for companies to discuss the various strategies for reducing energy costs and the best practices
in energy efficiency. The conference will focus on various power sourcing options such as grid power, captive power and power trading. It will also look
at the technology options and case histories in energy efficiency.
Target Audience
The conference is targeted at:
- Captive plant operators
- Independent power producers
- Gencos, transcos and discoms
- Trading companies
- Equipment manufacturers
- Renewable energy service providers
- Technology providers
- Industrial development corporations
- State electricity boards
- Contractors
- Energy management consultants
- Research and development organisations
- HVAC and lighting providers
- Equity analysts
- HT consumers
- Legal firms
- Consultancy organisations
- Etc.
The conference will be particularly useful for finance, operations, planning and energy managers from organisations in the cement, steel, sugar, textile,
tyre, fertiliser, paper/pulp, aluminium, chemical, petrochemical and other power-intensive industries. It will be also useful for managers in the power sector
who cater to these organisations.
