| Summary: | Malaysia has taken several approaches to address the impact from climate change. One of the key approaches is via setup of Energy Management Gold Standard (EMGS) certification system. EMGS provides excellence in energy management system particularly on infrastructure that consumes a lot of energy. Petrol Stations being one of such infrastructures, generally consumes a lot of electricity. Although, this type facility is not focused nor implemented with any Power Quality and Energy Efficiency improvement as well as Sustainable Energy Management Systems (SEMS). In addition, there has never been a PETROL station being awarded with AEMAS EMGS certification. Thus, the research purpose is to study and investigate the design features of an energy efficient petrol station to meet the relevant standards and AEMAS EMGS requirement. The scope is to cover a typical petrol station with a grid connection at 0.415kV. This research proposed ten (10) steps towards improving the power quality, energy efficiency and energy management system of a petrol station. The results were able to outline several design features that could qualify a Petrol station to be an energy efficient petrol station. The project has also established a new formulation and integrate three main core topics of Power Quality, Energy Efficiency and Energy Management system towards ensuring sustainable energy savings via structured approach, towards energy efficiency improvement. This project outcome is hoped to instigate effort towards establishment and pursuance of petrol station with reputable AEMAS EMGS certification, and at the same time reduce the GHG emission, sustain energy efficiency improvement and secure savings of electricity bills expenses. |
