Sanctioned Load
Sanctioned Load means load in Kilowatt (kW) mutually agreed between MSEDCL and the
consumer.
In case the meter is installed on the LV/MV side, the methodology to be followed for
billing purpose is as follows
• 2% to be added to MV demand reading, to determine the kW or kVA billing
demand, and
• ‘X’ units to the MVA reading to determine the total energy compensation to
compensate the transformation losses, where is calculated as follows
‘X’ = (730 * KVA rating of transformer)/500 Units/month, to compensate for the iron
losses, plus one percent of units registered on the LT side for copper losses.
Contract Demand
Contract Demand means demand in Kilowatt (kW) / Kilo –Volt Ampere (kVA), mutually
agreed between MSEDCL and the consumer as entered into in the agreement or agreed
through other written communication (For conversion of kW into kVA, Power Factor of
0.80 shall be considered).

Case study : Energy efficiency ,benchmarking and  estimation & measurement in case of  Telephone Exchanges

Er Deepak Sathe

(Dip in Elect Engg)

Introduction:

                    Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and its reciprocal Data Center infrastructure Efficiency1 (DCIE) are widely adopted standards in case of Data center for determining efficiency of infrastructure , as part of an effective energy management.

                 These standards to determine how much energy efficient data centers / IT industry are, and to monitor the impact of their energy efficiency efforts.

PUE = Total Facility Power / IT Equipment Power

DCiE = IT Equipment Power / Total Facility Power

PUE	DCiE	Level of Efficiency
3.0	33%	Very Inefficient
2.5	40%	Inefficient
2.0	50%	Average
1.5	67%	Efficient
1.2	80%	Very Efficient

Table 1

  Desired PUE   for Data centers is 1.5 or less.

                   The Uptime Institute / Green Grid are such agencies / organization which recognize claims of data centers.

In case of telephone exchanges Monitoring of energy consumption was done regularly with following parameters:

1. Electric unit consumed        ( Unit / Line / Month )

2. Electricity charges               ( Rs. / Line / Month )

3. Penalties in Electricity bills    ( Rupees )

4. Rebate  for maintaining better power factor close to unity.

In   maharashtra  these parameters (1 & 2 )varied in vide range depending upon use of building for different purposes.

               Also Telephone exchanges are considered as “Office Buildings” for Energy conservation for BEE. While computing Energy savings it is just difference of energy consumption for two years. There is no consideration for checking of total energy consumption with reference to equipment load, addition / deletion of equipment load, climatic conditions in respective years.

Benchmarking standards :

                    For telephone exchanges some benchmarking has to be fixed to evaluate their performance based on energy consumption for exchange equipment with reference to total facility energy consumption.

                    We may adopt benchmarking standards on similar pattern as used for Data centres & IT industry in addition to above to monitor the impact of their energy efficiency efforts.

              It is well known fact that For Telephone exchange, Energy consumption pattern is as follows:

1. Telephone exchange equipment                                                     40%

2.  Air conditioning                                                                               50%

3. Other load electrical fittings ,fans, pumps, compound light etc.      10%

                      It can be very well noted that major component in telephone exchanges is Air – conditioning load which is depend upon climatic zone i.e. ambient temperature and vary season to season and also during time of day.

POWER VS ENERGY

The PUE and DCiE  can be computed using either power (kilowatt) or energy (kilowatt-hour) measurements.

Power measurements is single-point efficiency measurement only gives the energy flow at the exact time of measurement while energy measurements accumulate energy flow over time ( day / month / year).

                         Hence considering this aspect we may adopt

                         Power Utilization Effectiveness based on Energy measurement.

                         PUE =     Total facility Energy consumption / Exchange equipment Energy consumption

Estimation & measurement:

Energy use of every power-consuming device in a telephone exchange is to be measured and accounted. However, it can be complex, expensive, and impractical to measure energy use of some devices. In many cases, indirect

measurement and estimation of devices can allow determination of the PUE in a practical and cost-effective manner.

We may adopt basic level (Level 1* “The Green Grid”) for data collection   monthly measurement practice.

To perform Telephone exchange efficiency calculations, it is important to clearly define which power constitutes Exchange ( IT ) load, and which power is physical infrastructure.

We may consider Telephone exchange building / complex consisting of  Exchange ( IT ) load as

Main Telephone exchanges or RSU or small capacity exchanges,

OFC / MW Transmission centers,

PCM rooms,

Mobile switch rooms, BTS,

Data Centers,

                   MDF  etc.

And Power plant   Rectifier SMPS type or UPS with VRLA battery as main primary standby source.

In short ac power fed to UPS OR Rectifier for ac or dc telephone equipment.

And physical  (Electro –mechanical ) infrastructure load as

Transformer substation,

DG set as secondary standby source,

Air-conditioning systems,

Internal Electrical light and fan fittings,

Pumps,

Lifts,

Fire detection system,

Fire fighting system,

Security systems,

External lights gate / compound / neon sign etc.

                    In case of Electronic telephone exchanges load governed by installed capacity is constant irrespective of traffic and number of working lines. We can very well calculate exchange ( IT ) load and its energy consumption measuring current and voltage and power factor. 

                   The Energy meter reading of Supply Company shall be total facility energy consumption.

                   Certain loads such as inspection quarter, recreation club etc may not be considered as part physical infrastructure, there consumption may considered judicially.

Evaluation PUE / DCiE  results:

              PUE and DCiE are excellent for understanding how effective telephone exchange infrastructure is delivering power to its exchange IT equipment. Location and its climate ,orientation, size , use of building, type of equipment, desired environmental conditions for equipment for operation / life point of view and many other factors all play a important role in a data center’s final results.

                 Averaging monthly PUE results for year shall give good information / understanding about performance. It will also give useful insights in to how your data center works short-term or rapid changes to various internal and external conditions.

Depending upon Climate zone “Level of Efficiency” may proposed as follows:

Level of Efficiency	(Average for Year )PUE
	Hot & Dry, Warm & Humid, Composite Climate	Cold,Moderate/Temperate Climate
Very Inefficient	More than 3.3	More than 2.8
Inefficient	2.8 to 3.3	2.3 to 2.8
Average	2.3 to 2.8	1.8 to 2.3
Efficient	1.8 to 2.3	1.3 to 1.8
Very Efficient	Less than 1.8	Less than 1.3

Following Energy Conservation Measures Implemented.

1. Air Flow Management for OCB local, OCB Tax, BB & Transmission room. AC plant temperature less than switch room indicates short cycling of supply air, provided additional supply air duct for Targeted supply.

             Improved airflow management will increase both the efficiency and capacity of cooling equipment.

2. Increase in return air area , rearrangement of return air grills for targeted return.

3. Reduction of heat gain through glass windows.

4. Avoiding use of diffuser for supply air openings, which reduces short cycling of supply air.

After implementing Energy Conservation measures, there is improved utilization of electrical energy.

PUE improved to 2.30, Building now can termed as energy efficient from average, which can be further improved by reducing area to air conditioned and providing localized cooling equipments.
