Everybody wants to reduce electrical consumption.

Excepting a very few abnormal, almost all of us will love to see a reduced electric bill. A low electric bill means you save some money every month. The saved money may be utilized for a lot of other purchases.

There is no way one can reduce electrical energy requirements by computers and servers. The web servers need to run 24x7 and serve clients worldwide. It is unthinkable to keep the web servers shut down for even a minute.

  • There are ways to adopt energy consumption strategies that may help minimize average electrical energy-burning daily. At least, people can adopt good habits of optimized utilization of electrical and electronic devices.

In this article, I will disclose a unique way how to reduce daily electrical energy consumption in your home, office, business, and other places in the community.


General guidelines to optimize your daily electrical consumption

One can follow some guidelines circulated by all major national electrical power supply corporations. The global citizens are tired of listening to that advice. But, these guidelines are key to reducing our monthly electric bills.

  • Never keep the ceiling and table fans running when you leave your office workspace or home, or any community place.

  • Always keep the windows/doors shut down when running the airconditioners.

  • Don't keep the door of your refrigerator open for a longer time.

  • Use LED lamps instead of traditional filament, CFL, and fluorescent lamps.

And there could be many more helpful tips that you may find on the website of your local electric supply corporation.


Adoption of renewable and green energy is becoming popular

All of you might have been aware of renewable electrical energy, such as solar photovoltaics, wind energy, tidal energy, etc.

Handheld calculators have used solar power for many years. You might have also seen solar panels on the rooftop of some of the houses in your locality.

  • The photovoltaic solar panels receive solar energy when exposed to Sunlight. The light impinges on the solar panels that yield photoinduced DC voltage from the panels.

  • The general norm is to utilize the generated DC voltage to charge several chargeable batteries. Later convert the stored DC voltage from the batteries into AC voltage using a set of electronic circuitry, and supply the converted AC electrical power to the home/office for usage.

The other forms of renewable energy also accomplish the job of electrical DC power generation and conversion it to AC power by electrics.

But, the DC power generation by renewable devices (solar, wind, etc.) and conversion to AC power don't give encouraging efficiency.


How to reduce electric bills by adopting green energy and special electrical devices

The renewable electrical energy must be utilized in an intillgent manner to maximize the energy efficieny.

We describe an innovative project that delivers sustainable solutions combining energy efficiency and green energy using a smart approach.

The sustainable solution consists of four main steps.

  1. Use solar photovoltaic panels to generate sufficient DC electrical power.

  2. When there is an interruption of the electrical mains supply, directly feed the generated DC electrical power to specially designed DC electrical devices.

  3. When the mains electrical mains power is available, convert the photovoltaic DC electrical power to AC electrical power, feed it to the mains grid of the government electrical mains supply, and earn money by selling it to the government.

  4. Use a specially designed smart electronic control circuitry to switch the operation between steps 2 and 3 automatically.

In most countries, the governments have initiated a rule on how to accept generated renewable energy from the citizens and reward them by net metering norms.

If your country doesn't have the rewarding schemes for buying renewable electrical energy from the citizens, the conversion of DC to AC part may be selected to be turned off in the smart electronic control unit.

  • I discussed all this in great detail with Mr. R. Ramarathnam, the founder and chairman of Basil Energetics, in a video podcast on December 22, 2021.

  • Mr. Ramarathnam designed and developed a special class of electric DC fans, LED lamp assemblies, air conditioners, refrigerators, and the associated smart electronics.

In India, by adopting the sustainable solution as described by Mr. Ramarathnam, the electric bills can be drastically reduced, by an average of fifty percent reduction of electric bills.

  • Moreover, by adopting a properly designed solution, including the solar panels, the electrical devices, and the smart control electrics, the electrical bills may be compensated to be zero if the net metering facility of the state electric supply is availed.

I will encourage you to listen to the video deliberation that contains a technical presentation and explanations about the sustainable electrical solution that can help you to reduce your monthly electric bills.

One of the expenses that I am aiming to reduce is the electricity expenses which I need to deal with every month. But I am not the only person living in the house but I am the one suffering due to the high cost of electricity and unsmart ways of using by housemates. I am contemplating on having a solar panel installed to reduce power consumption.

Check the net metering policy of your country/state and earn money for giving solar power to the primary grid.

Everyone wants to reduce electricity bills but without realizing they are now dependent on machines whose power source is electricity, so it will be very difficult to reduce electricity bills.

That is why it is a new charter. My friend Dr. R. Ramarathnam, founder of Basil Energetics (who earned his Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering before my birth), developed innovative DC motors that can save a lot of electrical energy, whether from mains AC or directly from the solar photovoltaic panels.

Rationalizing the consumption of electrical energy is very important, as it follows good environmental and household management, and reduces costs that can be invested in other projects. Thanks my friend for this useful information

These are helpful nowadays that electric bill is costly but if it will go down the price then we can save more money to buy on other needs or stuff.

We can earn in odysee.com and learning times as well? Is that blogging or video vlogging?

While not related to power - the next biggest expense for many people is water.

If you have an older toilet, you can put concrete bricks (usually 2 fit) in the back of the toilet (so long as it isn't obstructing anything, and never use clay bricks, they will turn your whole toilet clay-orange)

This doesn't affect the flush power. Modern toilets use significantly less water per flush, the concrete bricks simply take up unnecessary volume, and this can save you 1/3 your volume or more per flush.

Yes, water is wrongly considered the most undervalued resource in the world. People misuse water at random. But, only 1 percent of total global water is freshwater!

Extremely important topic, especially with record-high temperatures. Heating and air conditioning use, by far, the most power in households.

I run on renewable energy which costs even more while mining Ethereum, and those days appear to be numbered - during the winter, the extra heat was helping, now it's making it worse.

Renewable electrical energy is inefficient for normal use, such as running a computer or traditional electrical devices. To take advantage of renewable energy, you have to change the devices and incorporate intelligent control electronics. Please read the FOURTH section and watch my video discussion with an expert (embedded at the end of the FOURTH section).

Isn't that the truth... it's not cheap to get started and if your power company offers it, they charge premium as well.

I've begun working on off-grid systems starting with a solar generator and panel, SDR (software defined radio), and will likely do a deep cycle battery array using either solar or hydroelectric in the future.

Highest electric bill is the major problem that now a days everyone is facing and the major reason is our carelessness. I noticed that we also didn't power off the fan when we leave the room but now I try to preventive use of electric fan and light and also teach my siblings
