ANNOUNCEMENTS
Energy consumed by industries during 2021 accounts for 41% of the total consumption of India, similarly it accounts for 42% of total world’s consumption. For developing countries like India, whose almost half consumption is from industries, this serves as two sides of the coin. One side, they need these industries in order to contribute towards the growth and development of their nation; however, these industries also have the most contribution towards emissions and consumption of fossil fuels. Therefore, a middle ground needs to be sought off wherein the industries’ production isn’t affected whilst also reducing the emissions and their dependence on fossil fuels. This thesis addresses textile industry specifically spinning mills wherein the audit was performed and energy conservation measures were recommended in order to reduce their consumption. The equipment and methodology implemented during the period of audit has also been discussed. The operation of each instrument during the audit has also been described. The combined energy conservation of all the industries would be 135.38 lakh kWh post the implementation of all the conservation measures. Annual monetary savings by the industry and the payback period of the recommendations have also been reviewed. Lastly, scope of renewable source of generation or some recommendation to existing systems have also been discussed.
