The Case of a Factory

 

Basic Information of the Factory
■As a manufacturing corporation, the factory covers an area of 70,000 square meters.
■The main loads in workshops are cranes, machine tools and heating furnaces.
■The factory is supplied by centralized transformer substation.
 
 
Former Planning of Power Supply for the Factory
■1 European centralized transformer subtation of landscape type is installed, with transformer volume of 1250kVA.
■Every workshop is supplied by low-voltage cables via centralized box-type substation.
■An oil recovery generator as a backup to supply power to backup unit by low-voltage cables.
■The radius of low-voltage power supply is up to 200 meters around.
 
Integrated Planning for the Factory
■The factory is suppliedy by 4 Chinese-type transformer substations (outdoor), as 1 of 400kVA, 2 of 315kVA, 1 of 200kVA.
■The factory is equipped with 1 Chinese-type solid insulator switchyard of 1 incoming and 4 outgoing.
■An oil recovery generator (320kW) is installed as a backup to supply power to backup unit by low-voltage cables.
■The radius of low-voltage power supply is up to 10 meters around.

From the Comparison above, integrated planning can be characterized as following:
■The total project costs are 85% of those of the former planning, saving 103.6-88.3=15.3 (10,000 Yuan) per year;
■The total annual operating costs are 77% of those of the former planning, saving 11.7-9.0=2.7 (10,000 Yuan) per year;
■The comprehensive efficiency evaluation of 5-year operating costs: CT can be saved by 162.1-133.3=28.8 (10,000 Yuan) (calculated by 0.75 per kWh);
■The comprehensive efficiency evaluation of 10-year operating costs: CT can be saved by 220.6-178.3=42.3 (10,000 Yuan) (calculated by 0.75 per kWh);
■The total project costs for 10-year operating are 88.3 (10,000 Yuan), saving 42.3 (10,000 Yuan).
