Energy-Efficiency Improvement Opportunities. A Case of a Textile Mill

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Energy Sciences, grade: 1.1, Bahir Dar University, language: English, abstract: The target of this project work is to identify the main energy dissipative units and to find a possible solution to tackle the recognized troubles of energy efficiency. A thorough chemical, thermal and electrical performance assessment of corresponding units has made to discover inadequately functioning units. A systematic approach is followed to examine electrical energy consumption of electrical units and compared it with standard and their original design. Furthermore, causes of dissipation are analyzed. Subsequently, based on the evaluation results, economically and environmentally viable measures have been suggested to enhance the competency of the every unit that forms the whole when combined. In addition to unit wise approach, system based approaches has been adopted on units functioning in integrated manner.
