Audit and control of reactive power of a grid-connected distributed alternator

Abstract

India is a dynamically developing country in which 60% to 65% of the industry consumes electricity. Many Indian firms are improving their technology, so the demand and supply of electricity is growing. With the help of energy audits, it can reduce the gap between energy demand and supply as much as possible, which is good for all sectors and it can manage the maximum demand for energy in companies and improve the power factor by reducing energy losses and improving energy efficiency. This paper is a preliminary investigation by Vandana Global Limited, Raipur. Comprehensive load study of industries with 7000 KVA monthly contract demand, new loads have been introduced in this industry, highlighting the need for significant energy conservation measures. To evaluate the savings, a full energy audit must be carried out. After energy analysis of the monthly electricity bill, the four-month average power factor is 0.92, therefore the grid power factor can be increased as inductive loads are fewer. It can use the automatic reactive control panel to improving to the grid power factor by adjusting the required reactive power from the grid connected alternator. The system is effective due to cost savings, return on investment and profit. Time of Day (TOD) and conserve energy meter readings were used to measure demand control. Energy Audit energy efficiency solutions reduce energy waste and energy costs. In general, special attention was paid to reduce demand losses and energy costs. This paper recommends using genuine energy in the right place and organizing the use of energy through an energy audit.
