Electricity for the good of the civilization, but the cost of a kwh increases gradually and the questions of energy saving are more serious and important. What are the measures taken to save a penny? Try to understand!
Culture of the use of gadgets and appliances
Let's start with what makes virtually person — a disconnection of the network, chargers, tvs and appliances. Charger left in the outlet continues to function, it is called the idle speed, and the current consumption in the it depends on patterns, and of the power of the device. It has every kind of power source, such as transformation stations and impulses. In all modern household appliances, for example, in the micro-wave oven, air-conditioner, a tv or a TV tuner there are indicators led screens and other, They also consume energy and the source of power, for example, when the tv is turned off with the remote control" continues to run in standby mode. Standby Mode the standby mode of the technology, it can expect a signal from the remote control, or timer of the inclusion of a time. On this topic in the network, there is a lot of research, we collected and averaged the data obtained on the consumption of some devices in the "empty" or in the standby mode, and is reduced in a list:
- - A satellite receiver or a tuner of digital tv, 5.7 W (50 kw/year);
- - Console games — 0.7-1 W (8,7 kw/year);
- - Tv — 0.3-0.5 W (4.4 kw/year);
- - The computer is in standby mode — 3-4 W (35 kw/year);
- - The monitor — 1 W (8,7 kw/year);
- - A laptop — 0.5 W (4.4 kw/year);
- - Coffee — 1.5 W (13 kw/year);
- - Washing machine — 0.1 W (0.9 kw/year);
- - Air conditioning — 3 and 5 W (44 kw/year);
- - A router (it is permanently in the mode, not in standby)— 3 and 5 W (44 kw/year).
If, in each case, the figures are not very economic, but the total is the number considrable. To a non-used device, which let connected to a network or is a risk of burns and fire. Therefore, disconnect devices, if you don't use them. Also, should not keep a computer or a laptop to be always on. A computer with a monitor can consume 100 W and more, even if it is idle (and during the games of the consumption can increase, and half the kilowatt), your laptop average of 40 to 60 Watts. Moreover, one can conclude that, if not in need of a fixed machine – laptop will burn less of the amount of power for the job. If you don't need a computer or a laptop – send it into sleep or hibernation mode, then its consumption is reduced to a few watts. Similarly, for tablets with the mobile phones. The statistics of site visits shows that a large part of the traffic in 2019, a mobile device. In addition to the small size and autonomy of the note and of the economy. For example, in the tablet is installed with a battery with a capacity of approximately 9000 mah battery voltage of about 3.7, which tells us that the stores that very little power up to 33 W/h the Manufacturer declares up to 10 hours of availability, as confirmed by the tests and the browsers. What this means? So that on load will start at 40-50 Watts of electricity, if we consider the PERFORMANCE of the charger and the consumption by the tablet is charging. This energy will be enough for a whole day of work or surf the internet, whereas a pc consumes two times more an hour. In any case, it does not make advertising of the technique of apple from a manufacturer and an example. The same thing can be said about any other device vary only the number of hours of work and the number of watts needed for this. Place the priorities and the clarity of what product you enough for the work.
From turn off the light!
If in 2019, it is difficult to say something new about the economics of led and fluorescent lamps, it will not be useless to recall that the need to use the lighting rational. Forgot the night, the lighting significantly draws on the portfolio, even when using led lamps. Suppose that you leave them turned on the night light in the bathroom or in the hallway, how much does it cost? If talking about led lamps, it is, the greater demand for light bulbs has a power of 7 to 10 watts, take the largest value. Before you sleep, you have forgotten to turn off or purposely left on the light in a room, sleep the people of the order of 7-8 hours, then:
10*8 = 80 W/h by night winded of the bulb, while in the year:
80*365=29,2 kw/h
And if the light is on in several parts of the whole night? Yes one adds to that the devices in sleep mode, which we talked about above? If you use an incandescent lamp, these figures can be multiplied by 10. In addition to the forgotten bulbs, all the people do not understand the difference between the total and local coverage and screwed in the chandeliers of powerful lamps. Dramatically decreases the cost of lighting, for use as a lamp table, and the (ceiling) light to less light. This will help you to dimmer or the light distribution on the group. Also the installation of motion sensors of the light in these rooms will help you to save money, how to do it, we have explained in another article.
The counter
The installation of many price counter basically allows you to save money. Here, there are several options to two zones and three zones of the billing. For an example of these rates:
- - To a rate of meter – length 5.38 r for 1 kw/h
- - For the two areas of pricing: during the night (from 23:00 to 07:00) 2,29 r for 1 kw/h and in the afternoon (from 07:00 to 23:00) 6.1 r for 1 kw/h;
- - For the three counters tariff of night 2,29 p, sex pic of the area (late afternoon and late in the evening, from 10.00 to 17.00 and from 21.00 to 23.00) — length 5.38 r and the peak time (in the morning and in the evening from 07:00 to 10:00 and from 17:00 to 21:00) 7 € for 1 kw/h.
Someone is it profitable? Almost all of those who work during the day and night in the house – it is cheaper to bodo, washing, bathing (if you are using an electric water heater), the kitchen (if the electric hob). Also many tariff meter will reduce the amount of heating, if you have a private house or an apartment electric, heating system stand-alone (induction of the boiler, the boiler with the Heat Energy from the Radiators, and others.). As well, you can, until you don't have at home, lowering the power of the boiler or even disable it (if slightly freezing), and out of the house for the finish of the turn and all night for heating the dwelling. Using a Wi-Fi relay, or a timer, or other means of automation to make the process automatic power will be submitted without your participation. You can also set the heating for an hour before the parish work, in order not to get in the frozen apartment.
Energy efficiency
The concept of energy efficiency is quite large and in the eyes of the inhabitants of the blur. In most cases, under the energy efficiency and energy savings the people include the installation of led or energy-saving lamps and the purchase of its LED tvs and display screens. However, this is not quite true. Improving energy efficiency is one of the main tasks of engineers and scientists, and it involves both the use potential new technologies and instruments with various of the old principle of action (same inverter motors for compressors of refrigerators, washing machines, or led light sources) and another approach to the method of management of the familiar elements and patterns, for example the increase of the frequency of the switching power supply, the optimization of the modes of operation of semi-conductor keys in order to increase the EFFICIENCY of devices in general. Therefore, the whole technique is divided into energy efficiency classes, it is designated by the Latin letters A to G, but the more affected by these devices with even more classes A+, A++ and A+++, but standardized in this document as "the Directive on the labelling the label energy efficiency n ° 2010/30/EU".
The energy efficiency class is determined on the basis of the volume of the energy consumption in the labor process and several other factors for each type of device has its own scale. For not entering into details, we show the difference in the classes on a real example. On Yandex.market chosen 2 fridges with good references and evaluation, but different-class energy efficiency. The difference in fuel consumption is almost 2 times. But the price is different in the half. But the modern technique of the case "energy efficiency" is not limited. To save energy, it is important not to waste energy. This is especially true for those that heats the housing of the electricity. If you have thin walls, and pulls it under the baseboards and the windows any boiler and is individually rational, you make a circuit of heating – will always stir up the street!!! Insulation, sealing of joints, use of materials during construction greatly reduces the loss of heat. Bring accurate numbers to the irrational, because they are dependent on a particular home, as well as other factors, the type of the quality of the dock walls, the laying of the blocks, sealing of all the places where it is possible to blow (the bridges of cold) and the house of campaign of the frequency and force of the wind on your site.
The five rules of economics
So, to summarize:
- 1. Disconnect the technique and chargers network do not want each time to pull the plug? There are extension cords, power outlets, and even making the switch.
- 2. Use of energy saving or led.
- 3. When buying a new refrigerator or washing machine, pay attention in the upper classes
- 4. Install a lot of rate of the meter.
- 5. Look at the house on the subject of the loss of heat (now, a lot of professionals offer an inspection with thermal imaging camera) and isolate the problems.
