Review on Performance Evaluation of Sugar Industry Through Energy Conservation

Abstract Industrial sector plays very important role in global energy consumption. Sugar industries are one of the most energy consuming industries. Increasing trend in setting up of new sugar industries and capacity enhancement of existing sugar plants in India is alarming to energy requirement. These industries consume considerable amount of energy for production viz a viz generate the energy as cogeneration. The energy conservation in such plants is paid less attention as compared to that in developed countries. Energy auditing is a powerful tool, which has been successfully and effectively used in the design and performance evaluation of energy related systems. Also there is a need to promote recycle economy, energy generation, facilitating technological progress, reduce consumption, and protect the environment. Hence, energy efficiency and conservation should be viewed as new source of energy along with energy cogeneration.
