ASSIGNMENT NO 4

1. Daily load of an industry is 200 kW for first one hour, 150 kW for next seven hours,
50 kW for next eight hours and 1 kW for remaining time. If tariff in force is Rs. 100
per kW of maximum demand per annum plus 5 paise per kWh, find the annual bill.

2. A consumer requires one million units per year and his annual load factor is 50%. The
tariff in force is Rs. 120 per kW per annum plus 5 paise per unit consumed. Estimate
the saving in his energy costs if he improves the load factor to 100%.

3. An industrial undertaking has a connected load of 100 kW. The maximum demand is
80 kW. On an average, each machine works for 60 per cent time. Find the yearly
expenditure on the electricity if the tariff is
a. Rs 10,000 + Rs 1000 per kW of maximum demand per year + Re 1 per kWh.
b. Calculate annual bill of a consumer whose maximum demand is 100 kW, p. f. =
0·8
Lagging and load factor = 60%. The tariff used is Rs 75 per kVA of maximum
demand plus 15 paise per kWh consumed.

4. The monthly readings of a consumer’s meter are as follows :


Maximum demand = 50 kW
Energy consumed = 36,000 kWh
Reactive energy = 23,400 kVAR
If the tariff is Rs 80 per kW of maximum demand plus 8 paise per unit plus 0·5 paise
per unit for each 1% of power factor below 86%, calculate the monthly bill of the
consumer.

5. The tariff in force is Rs 150 per kVA of maximum demand and 8 paise per unit
consumed. If the load factor is 30%, find the overall cost per unit at (i) unity p. f. and
(ii) 0·7 p. f.
