ESTIMATION OF END-USE THERMAL AND ELECTRICAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION POTENTIAL FOR DWELLERS

Abstract

This article present results of research on energy consumption potential of thermal and electric energy consumers, in particular for dwellers, to develop measures for day and night uneven energy consumption reduction. Determined analysis of Ukraine dwellers average electric energy consumption and marked consumers categories, both in cities and in rural areas, whith the largest volume of electricity consumption. The dynamics of changes in number of electricity consumers, as well as the volume of electricity consumption by customer groups is given. The data for released and consumpted amount of thermal energy and the consumers structure are presented. On the basis of thermal and electric energy consumption dependencies, conducted the estimation of amount and power of existing dwellers household electric appliances and the level of its automation for the further effective consumption regulation measures development, in particular at night failure period. Established that end consumer, namely dwellers, by self-regulation of energy consumption will allow to significantly increase energy efficiency of electric and heat supply systems and to strengthen the whole state energy security.
