Tutorial sheet 2 and case study 1 1. A industry has a maximum demand of 1000 kw and a load factor of 80% . It buys from a company at the rate of Rs 240 per kw plus Rs 4 kwh consumed calculate the annual electricity bill of the industry . 2. A consumer requires one million units per year and his annual load factor is 50%. The tariff in force is Rs 120 per year plus Rs 3 per unit .Estimate the saving in his energy constants, which would result if he improves his load factor to 100%. 3. CASE STUDY: commercial time of use power tariffs Some commercial and government customers use most of the power outside the high demand period of 6am to 6pm. The time use tariff rewards customers who are able to shift their power usage to the non peak period.
