Economic Evaluation of Energy Management Solutions in Electric Substations Buildings

Control and optimization of energy consumption especially fossil energies, which are the most important energy resources, are serious from the economic, saving, production and environmental viewpoints. In the buildings energy consumption systems, ventilating systems (for heating and cooling) are much more important because they are the main consumers of energy and use fossil energies (directly or indirectly). In some buildings because of safety problems, it is not possible to apply internal combustion systems for heating. Substations buildings are samples of these type buildings where electricity is used for heating and cooling and lighting as an energy resource. Electricity cost is usually more than natural gas cost. Therefore, energy management has effective economic results. In this paper, energy management systems studies are presented for Yagchiyan and Khosrowshah substations. Khosrowshah substation has a relatively old building whereas Yagchian building is newer. The results are extracted using CARRIER software and the solutions such as double glazed windows, temperature adjustment and insulating are evaluated.
