Why Save Electricity?

-

Nowadays,  frequently we hear people talking about " Save Electricity". What is your first thought? generally, people get thought of saving electricity bills. It is true but there are more advantages, some are long term, some are environmental and some are like the icing on the cake. That's what we are going to discuss further.

5 Reason to Step Toward Save Electricity:-

1. Energy-efficient technologies are better 
BEE Energy EfficientEnergy-efficient technology are designed to utilize minimum energy to perform desired tasks. Present technology like a fan with BLDC motor, LED lamps, Star rated energy-efficient appliances, etc are more promoted. Bureau of Energy Efficiency has given the star rating as per the reduction in energy consumption.

For example, previously we were more exposed to Incandescent, Halogen, HID lamps with the upgrade and development of technology industries got exposed to LED and CFL lamp technology. Exposure to CFL and LED has made a great change in the perspective of people towards energy saving, convenience, aesthetic requirements, and others. Similarly, other household appliances have got evolve which will not only fulfill your primary requirement but also save energy with more flexibility. Rather than swiching "OFF" light and fan to reduce electricity bills.


2. High initial cost but long term saving benefits 

 When new technologies are introduced in the market with higher environmental benefits, more operating flexibility and reduced energy consumption are of higher cost.

In the year 2009, LED lamps were introduced in India while comparing it with cost in the present year (i.e 2020) now it is around 80-90% cheaper. Due to the promotion of led lamps by the Ministry. of Power and well-known lighting companies like Philips, syska, etc demand and competition for LED lamp increased and more variance with lower cost manufactured . Led lamps are with lamplife 5-10 times more than the conventional lamps with negligible maintenance cost. Even if we consider other appliances like BLDC fan or star rated energy-efficient appliances are of higher initial cost but it is with higher operating lifespan, low maintenance requirement, and low energy consumption ( low electricity bills) better choice for long term. 

3.Reduce carbon emission 

Co2 emitted by the thermal power plant is 0.8 - 1kg/kWh approx. Whereas, the power consumed by household appliances per month in India is 80-300 unit (kWh) approx. Reducing energy consumption by replacing existing technology with efficient technology can reduce carbon emission.

 4.Reduce consumption of coal and fuel.

About 65-71% of electricity consumed in India is generated by the thermal power plant. Coal is the primary component in a thermal power plant required to transfer at the remote generating sites like Vindhyachal thermal power plant in Madhya Pradesh, Mundra Thermal power plant in Gujarat, Tiroda thermal power plant in Maharashtra, etc. Fuels are consumed to transport coal to the remote thermal power plant and also transport waste from thermal plants to landfills. Fuel and Coal cost keep changing it is added with the unit charge as variable cost in electricity bill.

 5.Initiation toward renewable resource

 With the increase of dependence of the modern world more on electricity for comfort and ease of life it is more economical and environmental friendly to rely on renewable resources for electricity generation from solar, wind, biofuels, biomass, ocean, hydropower, geothermal resources. Subsidy for the solar plant is provided by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, which is emphasizing more people to participate.

Lets discuss about what is the difference between active, reactive and apparent power? Also, do you know the difference between kWh and kVAh billing? and how it affects your wallet? Components of Electrical Power: Electrical Power has two component active and reactive power. kVA is vector sum of reactive power (kVAR) and active power (kW).    How presently electricity bill charged? Energy meter read based on active power (kWh). Customer bill includes energy consumption charges, fixed charges and other charges.  Click Here for how electricity bills calculated in per unit. Active power is used for heat, light and motion.  Reactive power (kVAR) drawn from grid to customers if customer use inductive equipment. Also, reactive power drawn by grid if customer use excessive capacitive load.  Also, reactive power are used for electromagnetic field generation.  Effect of reactive power considered by Power Factor. Power factor is the ratio of active to apparent power.  Penalty levied on consumer

Due to the corona outbreak presently the  majority  of the population are facing financial crises situation in the whole world. One thing has remained the same in this condition i.e our bills to pay every month.  The purpose of this content is to reduce your  Unit Electric Energy consumption  no major investment initially and long term profit. It will reduce electricity bills by at least 25-40%.    What is Per Unit Electric Energy Consumption? It is energy consumption for operating electrical appliances and technology. Per Unit Electric Energy Consumption is in kilo-Watt-hours (kWh). In kilo-Watt-hours (kWh), actual electric energy consumption per month  mentioned in the electricity bill.  Derived as, Unit Electricity Consumption  (kWh) = (Watt X Hours)/1000  As per the above unit electric energy consumption depended on the two-parameter.   1. Power of the appliances ( in Watt)  2. Operation of appliances per day ( in Hours)    Different Methods to Reduce Electric Energy Consumption Co

How to Check Maximum Electricity Consuming Appliances or Technology at Home.

We use multiple appliances and technology at home for comfort and ease of life. All of them are not used for maximum hours. There are selective appliances used and they cost us to pay more electricity bills. Even we are not aware of where we are using more electricity and increasing monthly bills and reducing our savings. To simplify this I had made a calculation and steps to follow to know where we consume more electricity.  Electricity what we consume  is measured in kWh which is called per unit electricity  consumption mentioned in our electricity bills.                                                        Step 1- Calculate Average Per Unit Electricity Consumption. Take electricity bills for the last 3 months or if possible the last 6 months. Take an average of per unit electricity consumption of those months.  Average unit consumed per month = (Month 1+ Month 2 +.....+ Month n)/ Number of months (n) Step 2 - Calculate electricity consumed by household appliances We are consider
