Effective Lighting and Load Management of Asia’s Biggest Tea Estate—Monabarie

Energy Conservation in industries has always been a concern due to high amount of conventional electrical energy consumption. Energy conservation leads to optimum use of energy to meet the consumer demand without affecting the production. Most of the older industries contribute to a large amount of energy bills every month due to unscheduled way of tea production. The present article emphasizes on energy audit for a medium scale tea manufacturing industry whose garden is located at Biswanath District area of Assam, which is the central part of Assam, India. By executing the audit, amount of energy usage by the machineries and production processes are determined and analyzed. An effective lighting audit is carried out by calculating fixtures according to lux levels of each section of factory. Results infer the optimum use of luminaries which will further reflect in the electricity bill of lighting loads of factory.
