| World's
Aging Electrical Infrastructure |
|

The
electricity infrastructure in place today for North America "will
require extraordinary investment over the coming years. Demand growth
remains relevant in several regions across N.A.; however, a more
important driving factor is enabling a shift to smarter electricity
production and smarter use"- The 21st Century Electricity Grid, Craig
Sabine-IC International.
Aside from the large and overall concept of North America's aging power
grid, distribution transformers are extremely important to any power
distribution network as transformers account for a large amount of
total transmission and distribution losses.
Electricity distribution transformers have a relatively long life and
they can contribute to substantial losses over their long working life.
An energy efficient transformer is therefore an important means to
reduce transmission and distribution losses. Energy saving transformer
can save 100-150 Twh/year, equivalent to more than 70 million tons of
carbon dioxide emissions.
According to the DOE, phasing out
transformers and upgrading old ones with new technology could result in
annual energy
savings
worth billions of dollars!
Such problems are not only pertaining to North American, but also other
places like Europe! In a report by the Institute for Building
Efficiency done in 2011, they stated that "while energy efficiency in
Europe is strong and steadily growing in importance, considerable
challenges remain. The EEI 2011 survey shows interest in energy
efficiency clearly rising along with increasing energy prices, concern
for energy security, and expectations of new government policies
mandating energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emission reductions. At
the same time, the survey shed light on the financial and
organizational barriers that are preventing European managers from
doing more to improve the efficiency of their facilities".
Energy
savings from
customer energy efficiency programs are typically achieved at 1/3 the
cost of new generation resources. Efficiency
programs can also reduce the need to install, upgrade or replace
transmission and distribution equipment. It can also improve system
reliability and allow utilities to reduce or manage the demand on their
systems in some cases off-setting the need to add new peak generation
capacity.
Consequently,
not only do we need more people in the world to be conscious of such
issues and to help by being well informed, we also need continual
government/utility incentives, energy cost savings, and energy
security.
Here at
Synergy Energy
Inc., we encourage government organizations,
regulators, and utilities to support the creation and expansion of
energy efficiency programs and to view energy efficiency as their "FIRST
FUEL" of
choice!
Energy
Efficiency is a
cost effective solution to many problems facing
both utilities and society, including the growing economic and
environmental costs of carbon dioxide emissions.
Energy
Efficiency
goals can often be accomplished using existing
technology, so programs can deliver results relatively quickly in much
less time than it takes to construct a new power plant.
We
personally
invite you to
revisit your energy infrastructure and to truly understand where your
business' efficiency stands.
Investing in Synergy
Energy's
high quality and highly energy efficient products
is the cheapest form
of
energy you can get and it is an excellent move towards sustainability
and environmental protection! |

According
to the Department of Energy (DOE), the current power structure suffers
from power outages and interruptions that cost the economy $150 billion
per outage!
Also, the demand for electricity in the US is growing at the rate of 1%
a year, with that pace likely to increase over the next few years.
Other estimates put the increase at 6% or more per year, thanks to the
population growth rate and the burgeoning numbers of
electric/electronic devices now considered essential to people's
lifestyles.
In 2009,
a study was conducted by Friedrich, Eldridge, York, Witte,
&
Kushler from the ACEEE on utility efficiency programs. Their
study demonstrated that energy efficiency is consistently a highly
cost-effective energy resource across a range of programs, states, and
regions. Their analysis also identified that "as energy supply-side
resource costs are highly volatile, energy efficiency remains a
financially stable, long-term investment".
Saving a
kilowatt-hour
through energy efficiency improvements is easily
one third or less the cost of any new resource of electricity supply,
whether conventional fossil fuel or renewal energy source. |

required efficiency levels of NEMA TP-1, CSA 802.2, and US Department
of Energy (DOE) CSL-3 standards. Furthermore, the efficiency compliance
with NEMA and CSA standards of the transformers are verified by the
third party verification body, Intertek, which is one of the most
trusted test organizations in the world.
