Engineering planning checklist

Industrial Energy & Carbon Audit

Build a plant electricity baseline, estimate annual cost and Scope 2 emissions, then screen PV and battery capacity for a measured industrial load profile.

Use as a checklist, not an automated design workflow. Complete and verify each calculation independently. Only explicit carry-forward links move a compatible value; all other inputs remain your responsibility.

What this workflow covers

Build a plant electricity baseline, estimate annual cost and Scope 2 emissions, then screen PV and battery capacity for a measured industrial load profile.

This 4-step checklist is intended for energy auditor. Confirm each linked calculator's units, formula, assumptions and operating limits before using the result in a project decision.

Sequence Execution
1

Three-Phase Electrical Power

Calculate real power (kW), apparent power (kVA), reactive power (kVAR), and full-load line current for 3-phase AC systems.

WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Use measured three-phase electrical data to establish the active and apparent-load baseline.
2

Plant Energy Consumption & Cost

Calculate daily, monthly, and annual electric energy consumption (kWh/MWh) and total electricity operating cost.

WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Translate connected load, load factor, operating schedule, and tariff into daily, monthly, and annual electricity cost.
3

Industrial CO2 Carbon Emissions

Calculate Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions from electricity consumption based on grid grid carbon intensity factor.

WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Convert annual purchased electricity into a Scope 2 emissions baseline using the selected regional grid factor.
4

Solar PV Array & Battery Storage (BESS) Sizing

Scope-limited calculation

Calculate solar PV array capacity (kWp) and lithium battery bank size (kWh/Ah) for commercial & industrial microgrids.

WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Screen PV and battery capacity against daily demand and autonomy assumptions; confirm load profiles, aging, temperature, protection, and interconnection requirements independently.
