Abstract
Manufacturing systems are energy-intensive. This chapter focuses on introducing the auxiliary energy consumers in a manufacturing plant and provides strategies to improve the energy efficiency of three major auxiliary energy consumers, including lighting, HVAC, and compressed air, to support energy-efficient manufacturing. This chapter begins with the working principles and characteristics of the three major auxiliary energy consumers, followed by facility energy management strategies along with some practical examples, including how to conduct an energy audit on a facility, how to develop a facility benchmark, how to identify opportunities and provide recommendations for actual improvement of the energy efficiency, and what steps are needed to implement an energy management plan for a typical manufacturing facility. In addition, this chapter addresses issues related to energy metering and tracking devices for system and facility monitoring. The chapter concludes with recommendations on energy consumption, energy management, and efficiency improvements for auxiliary industrial components.
