Electricity supply of an industrial building

By, Meri NUHAJ

Abstract

Electricity is one of the greatest gifts that human beings possess. The era in which we live has a high level of development and as a result the use of electricity is very necessary. One of the main sources of electricity production in our country are hydropower plants, which make it possible to convert water energy by means of a turbine into mechanical energy, where the mechanical energy is then transformed by the generator into electrical energy. Electricity is produced by the movement of particles, which we know as electrons. It can also be defined as the energy which is transferred when the electric current passes through the conductor. Electricity is measured in kW (kilowatt hours 1kW*h= 3.6MJ). It can also be produced from a variety of energy sources and different types of technology. The supply of electricity to the consumer is carried out by the Electric Power System, where its constituent parts are Generation, Transmission and Distribution of electricity. Recently, an increase in electricity costs has been observed, so this will bring more consumers who are interested in reducing energy costs.

Key words: Direct Current, Alternative Current, Photovoltaic, Kilo Watt hour (unit of energy spent in one hour), Kilo Volt Ampere(kVA), Mega Watt, On- Grid, Off-Grid, Hybrid, V (volt), Kilo volts (Kv)
