No doubt, electricity is most convenient format of energy. Today, world is facing the energy crisis problems. There are many conventional ways of generating the electricity. But those ways are really expensive due to high costs of fuels. Also, more severe problem is high potential of fuels to pollute the atmosphere.
These problems can be overcome by using non-conventional energy sources like wind energy, geothermal energy, solar energy and many other. But even then problem of energy crisis will persist.
Here are given, some simple and effective ways to save electricity:
- Increase a power factor by using capacitor which reduces loss in electrical energy during transmission.
- Do not use REWINDED motors. They are responsible for 5% efficiency losses.
- Use electronic chokes in tube light. Saves 20% energy.
- Use moulded FRP fans having aerofoil shaped wings for saving 20 to 40% energy.
- Use proper & tight belt for electrical drives, which saves 15-20% energy.
- Do not place hot matter in the refrigerator, Due to this activity load on compressor is increases. Which cause increase in time of refrigeration. This subsequently increases electrical billing amount.
- For water heating, wherever and whenever possible use solar energy that is SOLAR WATER HEATING SYSTEM.
- Do not use micro oven for cooking the food, it just a wastage of 65% energy. Try to use solar cooking system.
- Do not use air conditioners when they are not needed; use maximum natural air and light through windows.
- Use proper sized wires in house according to load on it if high sized wire increase resistance so energy loss takes place.
