IF YOU HAVE ANY (^) QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS, PLEASE STOP

  1. A kilowatt is a rate of consumption of energy, or "power" at any (^) time, dt. It is known as the power of a system and is often referred to as "demand." Kilowatt-hour (^) is the time integral of

the kilowatt and is the most coillmon billing unit of electrical energy. Electric companies

charge larger customers both a consumption and demand charge (^) in order to regulate the

amount of power that thej'have to provide^ to the customers at one given time.

Problem:

Given:

What is the dollar savings forreducing (^) demand by 100 kW in the off-peak season?

If the demand reduction of 100 kW occurred in the peak^ season, what would be the dollar $yings (that is, the demand in June through October would be (^) reduced by (^100) kWX

A large (^) manufacturing company in southern Arizona is on the rate schedule shown inFigure 3 - l0 (service level 5, secondary service). Their peak demand history for last year is ihown below. Assume they are on the 657o ratchet clause (^) specified in Figure 3 -10 (page (^) 105-109). Assume the higb month was July ofthe previous year at 1,150 kW.

Problem 5.1: How much canyou (^) soye by installing a photocell?

What is the payback period of this investment?

Given: When performing^ an en€rgy survey, you find twelve two.lamp F40T12 swurity lighting fixtures turned on during dayligtrt hours (averaging (^12) hours/day). (^) The lamps &aw 40 Watts each, the ballasts draw 12 Watts each, and the lights are currently left on 24 hours peT day. (^) ' Energy cost: (^) $ 0.0i5 /kWh Powercost: $ 7 /t(W Lamps: (^) $ 1 llamp Photocell (installbd):^ $ 85 /cell

Solution: Assuming one photocell^ can control all 12 fixtures

There will probably be demand savings, since the lights will be

turned offduring the day. It is probable that their peak demand

occurs during the day. Therefore, the demand reduction (^) @R) can be calculated as follows: DR-=Nfx Nlx Pl+Nfx Pb

'

where' Nf (^) = Number of fixtures, 12 fxtures Nl: Number of lamps per fixturg (^) 2 lamps/fixture Pl: Power use of lamps,40 Wlamp Pb = Power use of ballasts, 12 Wfxture Therefore, DR = 12 fixturesx^2 lamps/fixturex^40 Wlamp +

12 fixtures x 12 Wfixture

= 1,104 W = 1.104^ kW

Therefore, the energy savings (ES) (^) can be calculated as follows: ES = DR x l2hrlday x 365 days/yr = 1.104 kW x 12 tv/day x 365 days/yr = 4,835'.52 kWr/yr

Therefore, the cost savings (CS)^ can be calculated as follows: C.S (^) = ES^ x $ 0.055 lkWh +
