The clean form of electrical energy is much needed by all. Its cost needs to be known by everyone, just like the cost of one liter of milk. This particular information will lead to saving energy. Thttp://www.csgnetwork.com/elecenergycalcs.html link provides a generic cost of electrical energy calculator. The cost per KWH is found at the top, the default is the national U.S. average cost per KWH $0.1099 as of January 2011 (found at U.S. Energy information Administration), but you can input whatever rate you pay per KWH found on your energy bill.
1. Cost is the most convincing tool to conserve and generate energy at large scale.
2. The electricity boards adopt a tariff structure which enables them to recover their costs. The production, transmission and distribution of this energy involves important costs e.g. fixed cost and running cost. This question focuses on how the power system tariff is calculated, what are the factors affecting the power system Tariff’s.
3. The different parts like fixed cost & running cost in power system tariff
4. Interest and Depreciation charge
5.Factors like Load factor, diversity factor, power factor
6.To calculate the tariff and decide on most economic tariff structure are there.
Now because of renewable energy roles this structure may change like
1. With reneable or without srenewable
2. There are some challenges we can find in case of residencial load because of
Cost of modified/new installation set+ Cost of storage of energy+life span for equipment with Interest and Depreciation charge etc.
3. Maximun demand may change due to usage of renewables, hence load factor, diversity factor may have less impact
4. In case of industutrial and commercial sectors, there are energy expert are avaiabe to take care power factor, hormonics, quality of power etc.
I belive pre-paid energy, actual cost of energy and % subsidy (some countries are paying % subsidy of eletrical energy. Please refer the attachment). Hence, user(specifically residential) shoud to know the exact usage of energy from any resources(nonventional or non-conventional).
