Innovative Capacity

Few small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have undertaken an energy audit to date and even fewer have taken action to implement energy-saving measures. Lack of time, knowledge, and finance, coupled with the low priority that SMEs give to energy management, are the most commonly cited barriers to effective energy management in SMEs. Four projects funded by Horizon 2020 (SPEEDIER, SMEmPower Efficiency, E2DRIVER, and Innoveas) have developed innovative capacity-building programmes designed to eliminate these barriers and encourage SMEs to undertake energy audits and implement the recommended energy efficiency measures. This paper presents an overview of the innovations being tested and suggests a series of policy recommendations that could help to drive uptake of energy audits in SMEs.

The Impact

This work represents a method for investigating the energy efficiency of fan systems used to transport fluids. Applying the methods of dimensional analysis (DA) enables establishing five dimensionless complexes ( π criteria), including some basic parameters having impacts on the consumed energy used for the transportation of a unit quantity of air. The proposed criterion π 1 includes the specific energy consumption e v (specific fan power SFP), and is used for the quantitative evaluation of the energy effectiveness of the fluid transportation. This criterion also includes the main geometric size of the pipe system (network) and the gas properties. The criterion π 3 indicates the impact of the applied method of flow rate regulation on the effective energy use of fan systems. This criterion includes parameters characterizing the selected method of flow rate regulation: speed ( n ) for using the frequency method and the referred length ( L T P ) of the pipe system for using the throttle method. The established (proposed) dimensionless parameters are used to study a concrete fan system. The obtained results concerning the evaluation of the impact of the two most used methods of flow rate regulation (frequency and throttle), as well as the density variation as a result of the temperature change, on the effective energy use are graphically presented: π 1 = f ( π 3 ) .
