Dear community,
Currently, I'm working on energy modeling of the foundry sector in Pakistan and I'm facing difficulty in calculating the total energy consumption of the sector while having specific energy consumption data of only a few organizations from the said sector. The problem is, the foundry sector is further divided into different subsectors and different kinds of technologies are being used in each subsector and there is a large variation in energy use from organization to organization.
My question is:
1- Can we calculate the total energy consumption for the whole sector by taking avg. value of specific energy consumption from 2 or 3 plants and then multiplying it with total production capacity?
2- Is there any way to find energy intensity values for different processes in a metal casting plant with this data?
3- Is there any way to calculate fuel wise energy intensity values in a metal casting plant by only having total energy consumption and total production capacity values and further breakdown of % energy use by each source and by each process stream?
Hello.
You can calculate the Load flow analysis by using the ETAP software simulation. In this way you can find the total energy produce, consumption and all relevant parameters (voltage, current, active and reactive power, impedence power factor) at each bus and component. You can also make the model of total power system by using different generation fuels such as renewable and other sources.
You can also done the harmonic 3-phase fault and some other analysis using ETAP.
For more detail inbox me i will help you how to make the model to enhance efficiency of system and sub systems. Thanks.
Hi Muhammad Kamran,
I think you can do no. 1 as long as you explain how you do it in the report.
There are many methods for energy modeling and we cannot avoid assumption. In this case you can make assumption for no. 1
I have no idea for no. 2 and 3
