Book Description
Energy management is a key issue for commercial and industrial facilities. The IEEE Bronze Book serves as an engineering guide for use in electrical design for energy conservation. In this book, electrical options are evaluated from an energy standpoint.
The IEEE Bronze Book provides recommended practices for electrical energy management in industrial and commercial facilities. The intent of these recommended practices is to establish engineering techniques and procedures that allow efficiency optimization in the design and operation of an electrical system, while considering relevant aspects such as safety, cost, environmental impact, and management needs.
By stressing energy management, the IEEE Bronze Book extracts from engineering, design, applications, utilization, and, to some extent, the operation and maintenance of electric power systems to provide for the optimal use of electrical energy. The book covers the combined use of electrical and thermal energy in a highly efficient and cost-effective manner. It also focuses on load management by emphasizing that a reduction of energy in one area can have a negative effect on energy needs in another area. Other topics covered include the effects of fuel cost on electric energy cost, cogeneration and its energy-saving potential, and new and existing electrical systems (e.g., lighting). |
