Typical Industrial
Facility Project
|
| This example illustrates a
possible scenario that might exist at a reasonably large industrial
facility. Simulated existing conditions and sample proposed retrofits
are listed with example calculations of energy savings, incentives, and
simple payback. The data given below is not necessarily indicative of
what you may see at your site, but can be reviewed to understand how the
program will operate and the potential value of a "Custom" project at
your facility. |

(3) 200 HP air compressors with inefficient throttling control, minimal
air storage, and independent staging controls for each compressor based
on system pressure |
Replace the oldest compressor with a new 250 HP variable speed air
compressor, add system air storage, and provide a system controller to
stage/trim the air compressors based on system pressure |

| The total annual savings would
be approximately 773,713 kWh, resulting in an estimated $49,121 in
annual utility savings. The estimated cost of this project (using the
above simulation) is $196,936, with an estimated incentive of $119,791.
If the facility was to make these upgrades, the net project cost to the
customer (after incentive) would be $77,145, yielding an approximate 1.6
year payback. |
