Energy Savings Temperature

How to Set Your Thermostat for Maximum Comfort and Savings During Sacramento's sweltering Summers, a top priority is keeping cool and comfortable in our homes. Of course, no one wants their HVAC system to work harder than it has to in order to accomplish this. In this short essay, I will give you 4 suggestions to utilize your thermostat to find the perfect balance of comfort and energy savings. Choose the Right Thermostat. You will most likely find several types of thermostats when you go out comparison shopping. It is common to find 5 days, 2 day and 7-day models. I advise the 7-day model since it will give you the most flexibility in scheduling. You can actually program a different temperature for each day of the week if you wanted to Program the Thermostat for Home and Away. After you have chosen and installed your thermostat you can program your weekly schedule.

Types of Residential Water Heaters

Types of Residential Water Heaters. Most of us take our water heater for granted along with the luxury of having piping hot water dispensed from any tap in your home on demand. Many homeowners don't even think about their water heater until it causes problems. Water heaters are one of the hardest working appliances in any home, just think how many things would be impossible without the miracle of on-demand hot water like laundry washing dishes or showering. There are three distinct types of water heaters each with its own unique set of advantages and disadvantages. Solar Water Heater. Renewable solar energy is currently the only free option for water heaters. They are not appropriate for every home and situation but if the conditions are right, they are a fantastic investment. Conditions including the roof direction area or residence and size of the family must be met to qualify your home for solar power. The most common water heater type is a storage or tank water heater.

Voltage sags caused due to unknown faults at grid are the key power quality

Abstract. Voltage sags caused due to unknown faults at the grid are the key power quality issues faced by industrial consumers. These sags often cause disruption in manufacturing processes and result in substantial economic losses. In order to deal with such problems a voltage sag compensator VSC consist of a voltage source inverter coupled through a series transformer with grid line is often installed since it is among the cheapest solutions against the sags to save the critical loads from damaging. However, a problem of inrush transient current occurs as the series transformer gets energized to compensate for the load voltage. This not only affects the critical loads but also triggers the circuit breakers installed to avoid overcurrent of the compensator. This paper proposes a series of voltage sag compensator based on a current-controlled voltage source inverter CRVSI with the reduced magnitude of transformer inrush current. The proposed VSC is based on a current control technique applied in a stationary frame of reference for the desired operation.

Running three-phase is only possible with single to three-phase inverted supply

Electronic or electrical components must have some source like a single phase. Running three-phase is only possible with single to three-phase inverted supply. To drive three-phase induction motor we use three-phase supplies. 2 Block diagram Figure 1 1 of single to three-phase supply consists of an input rectifier circuit filters inverter circuit load motor driving methodologies Arduino and output power supply. 7 From the above block diagram 1 1the one input is given to the rectifier and converter and the other is given to drive driver of IGBTs. Firstly the input rectifier from ac to pulsating dc. Therefore to remove that filters are used consists of resistors and capacitors which helps to terminate the ac and gives pure dc. Further supply is given to the inverter circuits IGBT’s are connected there. Now with ac power supply then energized block which is used for energizing IGBT s i e. DRIVING Block of Arduino where programs is run accordingly. Then converted dc is given to the inverter circuit to convert it into three-phase. 3 Then converted three-phase supply is given to the load which is induction motor of this project proved to convert a phase supply into three-phase power supply 10 As load may be induction motor or any other three-phase load but in the project, we use three-phase lamps two 100W lamps in each phase working in a good condition.
