A common misconception within industry has been to equate an energy reduction or conservation program with the concept of turning off equipment and shutting down processes. Instead, the program of energy management challenges plant staff to produce the products or services with the absolute minimum energy consumption. The objective is to minimize energy usage through production efficiency gains, while procuring the lowest cost and most reliable supplies of fuel and power.
In this course the student will learn how to establish a facility energy-management program, to identify and evaluate energy conservation opportunities involving motor-driven equipment, and to design a motor improvement plan. These actions will help you to reduce energy costs, improve motor-driven system reliability and efficiency, increase productivity, and minimize unscheduled downtime.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe general energy-management considerations for motor-driven systems.
- Apply utility bills, plant-production data, and utility-rate information to identify opportunities to reduce energy costs.
- Explain the characteristics of industrial electrical systems relevant to motor-driven equipment.
- Identify motor-testing instruments and field-survey techniques.
- Apply motor-load and efficiency-estimation techniques.
- Calculate energy, demand, and dollar savings.
- Develop a motor-improvement plan.
- Apply power-factor-correction assessment techniques.
- Describe preventive and predictive maintenance planning for motor-driven systems.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 50 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
