Energy Efficiency

Active Energy Efficiency Using Speed Control

Inglés

Many motors only have two settings: on and off. They operate at constant speed. If a motor turning at constant speed is driving a device or process that requires less output, adjustments are required to achieve the desired output level. This adjustment is often achieved by letting the motor run at full speed, while using downstream devices to block part of the output. This is like driving your car by having one foot fully depressing the accelerator pedal, and the other on the brake to constantly control the speed. It sounds absurd, but this is still one of the most common control methods. An estimated 60% of motors are not speed controlled. The focus of this course is to explore the different ways we can control motor speed efficiently and with minimal physical stress on equipment. In addition, we'll discuss other advantages such as controlled starting and regulated torque.

At the completion of this course you will be able to: • Identify main motor starting methods • Recognize the frequency converter principle and its advantages • Realize substantial energy savings using speed control • Reduce harmonic distortion generated by frequency converters • Calculate the payback of an investment in a variable speed drive

Building control systems are important facets in any building's energy management plan. They help avoid waste and save money. A vital component of a control system is the sensors that are incorporated into the system. We must measure what we wish to control. We need to have a way to make measurements accurately and repeatedly. Sensors measure the data that the controller uses to make decisions based on its set of programmed standards and set points. Sensors are the first step of control. This course provides an overview of the various sensors integrated in a building control system, and looks at the variety of designs and need for correct placement.

Building Envelope Metric Version

The building envelope is a critical component of any facility since it protects the building occupants and plays a major role in regulating the indoor environment. Consisting of the building's foundation, walls, roof, windows, and doors, the envelope controls the flow of energy between the interior and exterior of the building. A well designed envelope allows the building to provide comfort for the occupants and respond efficiently to heating, cooling, ventilating, and natural lighting needs. Today we will examine the elements of the building envelope (floors, walls, windows and ceiling) and how those elements participate in heat transfer. We will discuss heat loss or gain due to transmission, infiltration and ventilation. This course contains many equations used to determine heat loss and gain through the building envelope, and we will supply a sample case study of a building throughout the course to help explain each topic.

Pumping Systems I: Pump Types and Performance

Inglés

Pumps are essential to the daily operation of many facilities. This tends to promote the practice of sizing pumps conservatively to ensure that the needs of the system will be met under all conditions. Intent on ensuring that the pumps are large enough to meet system needs, engineers often overlook the cost of oversizing pumps and err on the side of safety by adding more pump capacity. Unfortunately, this practice results in higher-than-necessary system operating costs. In addition, oversized pumps typically require more frequent maintenance than properly sized pumps. Excess flow energy increases the wear and tear on system components, resulting in valve damage, piping stress, and excess system operation noise. A pump does not function in isolation: it is part of a system of supply and demand. The use of a “systems approach” will typically yield a quieter, more efficient, and more reliable system. In this course, we will explore the advantages of different types of pumps, pump components, and end-use equipment. We’ll also examine pump efficiency curves to gain a better understanding of the flow/pressure relationship.

Eficiencia del Centro de Proceso de datos:

reducción del consumo eléctrico

Español

Los modelos convencionales para estimar la eficiencia energética de los centros de datos son altamante inexactos para las instalaciones del mundo real. El costo eléctrico se ha convertido en una fracción importante y creciente del costo total de propiedad (Total Cost of Ownership -TCO-) de un centro de datos. Es posible reducir dramáticamente el consumo eléctrico de un centro de datos a través del diseño adecuado de la infraestructura física y de la arquitectura de Tecnología de la Información. Este curso explica cómo contabilizar los ahorros eléctricos y provee ejemplos de métodos que pueden reducir enormemente el consumo eléctrico.

Eficiencia Energética Activa usando el Control

de Velocidad Español

Many motors only have two settings: on and off. They operate at constant speed. If a motor turning at constant speed is driving a device or process that requires less output, adjustments are required to achieve the desired output level. This adjustment is often achieved by letting the motor run at full speed, while using downstream devices to block part of the output. This is like driving your car by having one foot fully depressing the accelerator pedal, and the other on the brake to constantly control the speed. It sounds absurd, but this is still one of the most common control methods. An estimated 60% of motors are not speed controlled. The focus of this course is to explore the different ways we can control motor speed efficiently and with minimal physical stress on equipment. In addition, we'll discuss other advantages such as controlled starting and regulated torque.

• Identificar los principales métodos de arranque de los motores • Conocer el principio de los convertidores de frecuencia y sus ventajas • Conseguir sustanciales ahorros energéticos usando el control de velocidad • Reducir la distorsión armónica generada por los convertidores de frecuencia • Calcular el periodo de amortización de una inversión en un variador de velocidad

Understanding the forms of energy used at a facility, and the rate structure for each, is key to understanding energy costs and implementing an energy efficiency program. By understanding what you are paying for energy, and how the rate structure controls your bill, you can adopt different strategies for reducing your energy costs. You may even be able to move to a different rate structure that is more cost effective for you. In this course, we will focus primarily on gas and electricity concepts and unit pricing.

La puesta en servicio como instrumento de eficiencia energética

Español

El arranque es un proceso para asegurar que los problemas de rendimiento de un edificio sean comprendidos y corregidos. Deficiencias tales como el diseño de flujos, defectos de construcción, mal funcionamiento del equipo o mantenimiento postergado tienen una multiplicidad de consecuencias, que van desde el fallo del equipo, hasta el alto uso innecesario de energía o el bajo rendimiento de las estrategias de eficiencia energética pasando por la mala calidad del aire y el desconfort. Afortunadamente, está emergiendo una nueva forma de aseguramiento de la calidad, conocida como "Building Commissioning" que puede identificar y remediar estas deficiencias. En este curso se explicará el objetivo del proceso de Commissioning y se discutirá el impacto de este sobre la eficiencia energética.
