100 numbers of fused 60-Watt incandescent light bulbs (ILB) are replaced by same numbers of 12 Watt CFL instead of new ILB. Calculate the following for 4000 hours of operation per year. • The annual reduction in electricity costs if R 4 per kWh is the energy charge and Rs. 250 per kVA per month is the demand charge. • The simple payback period if the ILB costs R 10 and the CFL costs R 100 (assume life of ILB and CFL as 1000 hours and 4000 hours respectively).

Regional Maritime University (RMU) campus has 200 classrooms and 400 faculty offices. The classrooms are equipped with 12 fluorescent tubes, each consuming 110 W, including the electricity used by the ballasts. The faculty offices, on average, have half as many tubes. The campus is open 240 days a year. The classrooms and faculty offices are not occupied an average of 4 h a day, but the lights are kept on. If the unit cost of electricity is GH₵ 0.082/kWh, determine how much the campus will save a year if the lights in the classrooms and faculty offices are turned off during unoccupied periods.

e newly appointed Government of a small island, depend on the import of fossil fuels to produce electricity, has the desire to invest in one or two renewable energy technologies. The advantage of the island is the number of different renewable energy potentials. The cost of electricity on the island is $0.39 kWh. 1) Using solar radiation photovoltaic technologies, it was estimated that 500 rooftops, with a total surface area of 456 000 m2 , will be available to install the photovoltaic panels. Assume that the solar panels actually cover 90% of the available surface area. Given, the size of a standard photovoltaic cell is 156 mm by 156 mm and for a silicon photovoltaic cell, each PV cell produces a current of 2.5 A at a voltage of 0.5 V. The average daily irradiance for the island is 185 W/m2 . Assume the initial capacity expenditure evaluated on a year basis of the photovoltaic system, that covers, 90% of the available surface area is US $600 000 and the annual operating cost is US $5…
