Energy Audit: A Case Study of St. Ann’s Group of Colleges

Energy is one of the major inputs for economic development of any country. The energy sector assumes a critical importance in view of the ever increasing energy needs requiring huge investments to meet them. So in this paper we proposed audit methodology for a technical institution and how maximum demand can be reduced. Now a days in the new trends of the power market, it is a very difficult task to satisfy the power balance concepts even though the consumers pay their demands very much costlier. So the energy conservation and energy management concepts are necessary for the flexible utilities. The energy audit is a tool process to identify the facilities from different areas. This paper highly focuses on energy auditing which will make small operating changes that can often use to conserve energy and hence lower energy expenses. This paper has been carried out in a technical institution based on this energy audit methodology and the real time results shows energy conservation operation in a routine work which contributes to the improvements in the customer energy conservation improved facilities and reduces the energy utility cost and design a alternative distributed generation system (solar PV) for critical loads in this paper.
