How can you reduce electrical waste and losses in your system?

I agree but I think the most important factor to reduce electric power consumption is to make sure using high efficiency electrical equipment with high quality components and minimum energy loss. It is a great idea having ranking system in some countries such as Saudi Arabia “ Energy Efficiency rating system”

Reducing electrical waste and losses in a system is crucial for improving energy efficiency, saving costs, and minimizing environmental impact. Here are several strategies you can employ to achieve this: Efficient Equipment and Components: Energy-Efficient Lighting: Smart Power Management: Proper Maintenance: Voltage Optimization: Load Balancing: Power Factor Correction: Efficient Transformers: Insulation and Cooling: Renewable Energy Integration: Demand-Side Management: Education and Awareness: Lifecycle Analysis: Recycling and Proper Disposal: Government Regulations and Incentives: Energy Audits:

I agree But also Need to check characteristics of Electrical Cables their ratings as per Running load so avoid Overheating / loss of electricity. By use of quality smart devices also can be save waste of electrical energy with proper time settings & protections.

Coming up ways to use electricity efficiently at user end. e.g. 1. Automating electric system at user end 2. Billing exponentially as the consumption increases on user end 3. Subsidising basic electric requirements at homes. 4. Pushing more for efficient product purchase

It is very important to use standard consumers that have proper efficiency. Also, checking the expenses during the day and night should be checked.

Yes, cables and wires are often forgotten when we try to reduce losses. A 3-conductor cable does not have the same heating loss as 3 single-conductor cables. Moreover, the type of cables also matters. A THHW wire will produce different losses than an XHHW cable. We also tend to minimize conduit sizing. The improper conduit diameter could impact the heating profile of the cables.

?Develop your own methods for reducing waste in your work, such as by reusing resources from one job's leftovers for the next. This is typically more affordable and environmentally preferable to having to dispose of rubbish. ?If possible, seek out the shortest route for cabling while complying to wiring standards. ?Recycle wiring and cabling, avoid over-ordering, and reduce packaging waste on construction sites. ?Recycle redundant cabling, reuse cable drums, and consider hazardous waste types like fluorescent tubes to reduce waste and save money. Consider recycling used pallets and drums for added space. ?Ensure efficient work, use recycled materials, promote low-energy lighting, secure stores, and purchase sustainable materials.

Choosing the right size of cable is very important in all electrical system to avoid loss due to temperature rise in the conductor. Since conductors generally have a negative temperature coefficient, the type of insulation and the condition of installation also plays a big role in the conductor sizing.

Also, make sure that the If the length of the route is long, in addition, the air circulation system of the cable should be installed to keep the temperature of the cable low. Avoid the proximity of cables with different voltages.

Calculation and design of the power compensation, and Selection of the compensation system is important. Because of the Missing calculation , there can be highler Bills. If the system power distribution starts by high Voltage, the capacitif effect of the high Voltage cables must be considered. Also shunt reactors must be calculated and included

Bulk of energy supplied is consumed for industrial applications. Inductive loads such as motor, compressor etc. accounts for over 50% of industrial energy usage. By implementing proper power factor correction mechanism in the industry, energy quality can be improved and less energy would be used to achieve the desired result. Investment in power factor correction system will usually pay itself back in a short-medium period and would increase the system efficiency in the long run. For instance, the surcharge for poor power factor over the life expectancy of a number electric motors will usually outweigh the initial cost of setting up a power factor correction system.

It is preferable to use non-selfie devices and if necessary, use a capacitor. It is also effective to make the system smarter

One of the solutions to reduce the harmonic level in the system is to install efficient multi-pulse converters with a lower harmonic level. Harmonic elimination with active front end inverters with active rectifiers Removing harmonics using a capacitor filter Blocker of harmonics For the healthy use of capacitors, it is necessary to change the resonance frequency of the LC circuit (self-capacitor), which includes load inductance and power factor correction capacitors, to a frequency far from the lowest harmonic frequency.

Addiing to above, dividing lighting zone in small area, usage of daylight near window area, combination of sensor and timer, setting illumination level according to usage of room.

One other smart way of optimising lighting and electrical energy conservation is by introduction of automation system in electrical household power installation called smart home power system. Here utilities like lighting bulbs, air conditioner, etc are automatically power on when needed and off when not needed with the help of timers, sensors, PLC etc.

In addition to avoiding using lights that have selfie properties and using LED and SMD lights, you can use the BMS system to reduce consumption and reduce reactive power.

Here are some tips for optimizing lighting system: 1- Choose light painting colors for the walls, such as white, beige and yellow. 2- Construct wide windows in your house. 3- Use only LEDs instead of incandescent light bulbs. 4- Use solar energy lighting LEDs. 5- Choose the lighting tensity and power according to the room's usage. For example, an office or kitchen needs more lighting power than a bedroom. The bathroom should have the least power.

sufficient work, use recycled materials, promote low-energy lighting, secure stores, Use sustainable materials. Choosing the right size of cable is very important in all electrical system to avoid loss due to temperature rise in the conductor

Invest in sustainable source of energy like solar power system. CAPEX will be high expectedly but once ROI is reached, your electricity bill will soon be lower and might also earn using NET Metering implemented by some utility companies.
