We Can Help You... Power Quality Related Issue

Are you concerned with increase in your electricity bill?

WE CAN HELP YOU

Have you noticed increase in your electricity bill? Have you identified the reasons? If no, here we can help you to understand the issue and reduce your electricity bill. There can be two issues.

1 . Is your electricity billing changed to kVAh billing System from kWh?

Under the new electricity regulations, it is consumer’s responsibility to maintaining current distortion within the acceptable levels (Std. IEEE-519), while the utility is responsible for limiting voltage distortion.

The present energy billing is kWh based and there are incentives / penalties based on the power factor (PF). PF incentives are given on electricity bill if the PF is between 0.95 to 1. On other hand, penalties are levied if the PF is below 0.9. It is therefore required that consumer should maintain PF above 0.95 through proper compensation.

State Electricity Regulatory Commissions in various States viz. Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Haryana, Punjab etc. have already introduced kVAh based tariff for various categories.

Advantages to Consumer:

• kVAh billing will ensure that the consumers who will utilize the power efficiently will be paying less energy charges as compared to others who are not using the power efficiently.
• The new billing methodology will be much simpler to understand as number of parameters viz. PF, rkVAh (lead/lag), kWh units will be reduced.

Advantages to utility:

• Good system stability, improved power quality, improved voltage profile and reduced capital expenditure.
• Complete recovery of cost of active and reactive powers.
• Zero/ minimal drawl of reactive power by consumers.
• Reduction in power purchase cost

Challenge for Consumer:

Maintain the PF close to unit. The traditional methods of only capacitor bank will not help as leading PF will also result in penalty! So, need precise control of your PF.

2 . Are you facing any of the following issues?

• Not utilizing the full installed capacity of Generators.
• Not able to maintain the power factor.
• Penalty in the energy bill from the state electricity board.
• Overheating, burnout or generation of vibration and beat noise in capacitors, reactors, generators and transformers.
• Overheating of cables and neutral lines in 3-phase, 4-wire systems.
• Malfunction of control circuits of rectifier controllers.
• Nuisance operation of protection relays, circuit breakers and fuses.
• Disturbance in communication lines and audio equipment.
• Deterioration of computer / PLC performance.

If the answer is yes, you have one or more power quality issue.
